Proline is a Non-Essential Amino Acid
Proline is extremely important for the proper functioning of joints and tendons; also helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles. Information is very limited on this nutrient. Proline is a nonessential amino acid that can be synthesized from glutamic acid and does not require dietary sources.
Proline improves skin texture and aids collagen formation and helps contain the loss of collagen during aging.
According to the current information available it would be recommended that an ample supply of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) be present to maximize the efficiency of proline.
