Fish Hydrolysates use against the Metabolic Syndrome ?

Webinar To Continue our webinar series about the health effects of marine ingredients, our next topic is the Metabolic Syndrome.
These last few years, the Metabolic Syndrome became a serious issue due to its fast and high development but several epidemiologic studies reported a link between fish consumption and a decrease in its prevalence.

The Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Western lifestyles with diets rich in fats and sugars promote its development. Its complexity makes it difficult to study, but actually, its worldwide prevalence can be estimated to be about 25% of the world population.
