Impact of the Source and Food Matrices on the Bioavailability of Peptan® (Collagen Peptides) in Healthy Subjects

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Bioavailability
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: collagen peptides
Registration Number
NCT04097808
Lead Sponsor
Rousselot BVBA
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is the comparison of the oral bioavailability of hydroxyproline, a key marker for collagen peptide intake, after ingestion of collagen peptides from different sources, sizes and together with different food matrices, either containing high or low levels of polyphenols.

Detailed Description

The absorption (blood) of collagen peptides from bovine, fish and porcine source in different sizes and administered together with foods of different polyphenol content will be assessed. Pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-6h, Cmax and Tmax) after oral single dose administration will be determined to estimate the impact of different sources, different peptide sized any food matrix.

The following objectives will be evaluated exploratory by comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters from the concentration time curve of hydroxyproline, a key marker of collagen type I, between:

* different sources of collagen peptides (bovine, fish, porcine)

* different sizes of collagen peptides from cattle

* food matrices impact on uptake of bovine collagen peptides (dissolved in water vs. food matrix 1 vs. food matrix 2).

Additionally, concentration time curves of further amino acids will be assessed descriptively.
