Proline
A key structural amino acid in collagen and a major player in skin elasticity and wound repair.
What It Is
Proline makes up approximately 15% of collagen by weight and is essential for the triple-helix structure that gives collagen its tensile strength. It is synthesised in the body but supplementation becomes important under high-demand states (wound healing, intense exercise, ageing). IV proline bypasses any digestive limitations to deliver the precursor directly to connective tissue.
What It Does
- Directly supports collagen triple-helix structure
- Promotes skin elasticity and firmness
- Speeds wound and joint healing
- Antioxidant activity
- Supports cartilage and tendon integrity
Clinical Considerations
Well tolerated. A rare metabolic condition (hyperprolinaemia) is a contraindication — identified during clinical screening.
