BulkSupplements Pure L-Proline Powder (1 Kilogram)
Proline is an inessential amino acid and is part of what makes up collagen. Collagen is a connective tissue that makes up just about 90% of the body's overall connective tissue. Body parts that collagen is vital in creating and sustaining includes skin, ligaments, teeth, bones, and cartilage.Collagen is much like glue for cells in that it is able to help give shape and support to blood vessels, organs, bones, the liver, and kidneys. It also helps keep teeth securely tethered to the gums and assists in the maintenance and repair of blood vessels, bone fractures, and bruises. Proline also works in tandem with vitamin C and lysine to help maintain the integrity of collagen.Though proline is synthesized by the body, often the amount that is actually produced is not enough. It is mainly found through dietary means in animal products. Extra sources are so few and far between that a vegetarian may need to supplement in order to get the correct amount. Proline is also used to some extent in energy production which is why it is found in so many sports drinks.
