| L-Proline |
|
L-Proline, an essential amino acid, is a precursor, along with
vitamin C, of collagen. Collagen is a building block of tendons,
ligaments, arteries, veins and muscles--the heart muscle in
particular; collagen also helps heal cartilage, and cushions joints
and vertebrae. L-Proline is important in wound healing, cartilage building, and in flexible joints and muscle support. It also helps reduce the sagging, wrinkling, and aging of skin resulting from exposure to the sun. L-Proline, by breaking down protein, helps create healthy cells. It is essential both to skin health, and for the creation of healthy connective tissues and also muscular tissue maintenance. |
| The Signs of L-Proline Deficiency |
|
Because the body, when its glucose levels drop too low, “eats”
muscles for energy, L-Proline deficiencies may occur in endurance
runners and others who do prolonged exercises; these individuals, in
order to prevent muscle loss, may benefit from L-Proline
supplementation. Those who have suffered from traumatic injuries--in particular, skin injuries, and severe burns--and people with pain resulting from insufficient cartilage or collagen formation could also be L-Proline deficient. Small amounts of protein are available in meat, dairy products, and eggs. Anyone wondering if he or she would benefit from L-Proline supplementation should consult a physician. |
