Proline
Proline is a non-essential amino acid which can be formed from the amino acids, glutamate, ornithine, & arginine, or obtained from protein foods such as meat, cottage cheese, & wheat germ. It is found in high concentrations in collagen & is particularly important for musculoskeletal health. Collagen is comprised of almost one third proline residues. About half of your body's total proline is contained in collagen which is the main supportive protein of your skin, tendons, bones, cartilage & connective tissue.*
Vitamin C deficiency will cause proline to be lost in the urine because of collagen breakdown. This is an early sign & precursor of degenerative disease.*
Dr. Slagle has found proline may help maintain healthy blood pressure in some people.
Useful for:
- Skin health.*
- To decrease soft-tissue injury proneness as with athletes.*
- To speed the healing of soft tissue injuries.*
- For ligament, tendon & all connective tissue health.*
