Fish protein is scientifically supported as beneficial for the structural system, which encompasses bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Fish protein is a high-quality, complete protein source containing all essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and bone health. Several studies have demonstrated that dietary fish protein, in addition to being rich in amino acids, often contains bioactive peptides and is associated with increased calcium absorption and bone mineral density. For example, research published in Osteoporosis International and Journal of Nutrition indicates that regular consumption of fish or fish protein supplements can contribute to the maintenance of bone mass and reduce markers of bone resorption, especially in older adults. Fish proteins may also help preserve lean muscle mass during aging or recovery from injury, which is critical for the structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system. Additionally, fish protein hydrolysates have been shown to promote collagen synthesis, which further supports connective tissues. While not as commonly emphasized as calcium or vitamin D, the role of high-quality protein from fish in supporting bone and muscle strength is well documented in scientific literature. Therefore, the use of fish protein to support the structural system is justified by substantial scientific evidence.
