Fish protein is a high-quality protein source derived from both marine and freshwater fish species. It is a vital component of a balanced diet, providing essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial for human health.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Fish protein is derived from the muscle tissues of fish. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own. Fish protein is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction.
