L-Proline Powder

L-Proline is an amino acid, which along with Vitamin C is responsible for the production of collagen. It also plays an important role in blood vessel and artery health by keeping them supple and elastic, reducing the buildup of fat on artery walls, therefore reducing risks associated with arteriosclerosis. Proline is also important for healthy, elastic skin and tissue repair/ wound healing.

  • Collagen is the body’s main structural protein and it is produced from Proline and Vitamin C. It works as glue that covers and holds the bones altogether and acts as shock absorber to reduce friction. It also plays a role in skin health and in the repair of wounds. Collagen is responsible for maintaining the skin’s natural elasticity, keeping it plump and tight for a youthful appearance. A decrease in collagen production that normally occurs with age is linked to the appearance of wrinkles and other skin signs of ageing.
  • Use of L-Proline powder and other proline supplements reduce the risk of atherosclerosis or the hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is when fat builds up in the artery walls causing the blood vessels to be thick and stiff, which prevents the arteries from contracting and expanding. When the blood vessels don’t contract and expand during heartbeat, it impedes the blood flow to different organs as well as the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. Proline helps by encouraging the release of the fats into the bloodstream to diminish the blockage and allow blood to flow freely. Healthy blood flow to the heart and blood vessels is key to optimum cardiovascular health.
  • In times of tissue injury or trauma and wound healing, the body’s production of L-proline increases. Medical dressings that uses collagen fragments is made using Proline for normal wound healing. Low levels of L-Proline might lead to tissue tears and delayed wound repair. L-Proline supplements may help restore tissue integrity in burns, soft tissue injury, and surgery.


L-Proline or Proline is one of the amino acids or the so called “building blocks of proteins”. It is non-essential because the body manufactures it via the breakdown of the amino acid L-glutamate. Through metabolism, protein from the food like meat, eggs, beans, cheese, gelatin products, and certain soy products are broken down into these building blocks. The more protein in the food, the more raw materials are available for the body to synthesize Proline for collagen formation, prevention of atherosclerosis, maintenance of healthy and youthful skin, and also support for connective tissue integrity. Vegans or people that don’t consume enough meat in their diet are potentially low in L-Proline. Athletes and body builders are also found to be low in Proline because they consume most of it for muscle maintenance. In these cases, L-Proline Powder and other form of Proline supplements may necessary to correct the deficiency.
