Prinova Europe is the exclusive distributor for Hofseth BioCare’s marine nutrition products in Europe. Based in Norway, Hofseth BioCare produce a wide range of protein, calcium and oil products from Norwegian salmon.

Sustainability and Traceability:
- Hofseth BioCare’s unique technology creates products using the whole fish, with zero waste
- The whole production process can be tracked all the way from fish eggs to final products
- Their extraction process has been recognised with Friend of the Sea Certification
- The entire product range is non-GMO and free from antibiotics, solvents and chemicals
The Hofseth BioCare Product Range:
ProGo® Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
- ProGo® is a hydrolysed salmon protein 97% for sports, endurance and recovery powders
- It is highly soluble in water due to its low peptide molecular weight
- Sensory characteristics of ProGo® are unique with a mild taste of salmon, which can be completely masked by mixing with other proteins, natural sweeteners and citrus or fruit-based flavours, as well as other masking agents
- It delivers pure peptides like no other protein on the market
Proven Benefits:
- ProGo® helps correct and prevent Anemia by increasing serum ferritin levels by 140% within 42 days as demonstrated in a clinical trial where subjects took 16g of ProGo® per day
- ProGo® is pro-metabolic and helps improve body mass index (BMI). A six week study of 48 subjects showed statistically significant decrease in BMI: 16g daily of ProGo showed a decrease of –5.9% in comparison to +1.6% increase in BMI for same consumption of whey protein
- Further studies prove ProGo’s® positive effect on supporting metabolism, providing anti-oxidant benefits and decreasing inflammation
CollaGo® Collagen Peptides
- CollaGo® is a soluble Type I & III Collagen Peptide powder optimised for beauty (hair, skin and nails)
- It can be used in a range of formats including powders, bars, tablets and beverages
- It has no additives and it is a natural source of collagen and phosphorus.
Proven Benefits:
- Increased energy levels

- It can be used in tablets, powders and other formats.
- It is produced from salmon bones without any artificial additives or chemicals
- It is a 100% microcrystalline hydroxyapatite form of calcium that may help increase osteoclast and osteoblast proliferation to a higher extent than other calcium sources thereby potentially increasing bone formation and protecting against osteoporosis (thinning of the bones)
Proven Benefits:
- Studies have shown its unique ability to help increase bone density – by more than 6% - and bone strength – from more than 30% - compared to Calcium Carbonate
OmeGo® Salmon Oil
- OmeGo® is a full spectrum of omega fatty acids, including Omega 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 11, EPA, DHA and DPA
- Offering benefits for the maintenance of healthy cholesterol and cardiovascular function, it can be used in soft gel caps and other formats
- It provides all the benefits of fresh fish including: anti-inflammatory & antioxidant effects and Hofseth BioCare has a patented data claim for the reduction of ox-LDL GP1, a highly inflammatory form of “bad cholesterol” that promotes atherogenesis (furring/narrowing of the arteries)
Proven Benefits:
- All the natural fractions contained in fish = all the benefits of natural fish oil which include heart, cognitive, eye and joint health
- Studies conducted by HBC show OmeGo® reduced serum concentration levels of an independent biomarker of cardiovascular risk, oxLDL-GP, through its anti-oxidation effects from non 18/12 fractions within the natural oil and hence the ability for OmeGo® to reduce oxLDL-GP to a far greater extent that other fish oils (up to 4.7 times reduction with OmeGo®)
