Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of Peptan® Type I collagen peptides from different marine origin (different fish sources, production process and molecular weight) in healthy human subjects.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of different Peptan® Type I collagen peptides in healthy human subjects. The pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-6h, Cmax and Tmax will be determined from the concentration-time curves of characteristic collagen markers (e.g. hydroxyproline, proline, glycine, di- and tripeptides together with further amino acids) after oral single dose administration. The following objectives will be evaluated by comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters between the products: * The impact of different production processes * The impact of size of collagen peptides * The impact of different fish sources
Interventions
Collagen peptides will be orally administered and pharmacokinetic parameters will be assessed up to 6 hours after study product intake.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-6h)) for hydroxyproline after single dose of the different collagen peptides. | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variable |
| Peak plasma concentration after administration (Cmax) for hydroxyproline after single dose of the different collagen peptides. | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variable |
| Time to reach the maximum concentration of hydroxyproline (Tmax) for hydroxyproline after single dose of the different collagen peptides. | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variable |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-6h)) of other characteristic amino acids, total amino acids, as well as the selected di- and tripeptides | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variables |
| Peak plasma concentration after administration (Cmax) of other characteristic amino acids, total amino acids, as well as the selected di- and tripeptides | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variables |
| Time to reach the maximum concentration (Tmax) of other characteristic amino acids, total amino acids, as well as the selected di- and tripeptides | pre dose and up to 6 hours post dose | Pharmakokinetic variables |
