- Collagen
- Form: Extract
- Food source: Protein-rich plant foods such as soya, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and wholegrains.
What is L-Proline?
Skin, hair and muscles are all built from proteins, and the protein we eat each day supplies the raw materials. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and some play a central part in making collagen, the protein that gives structure to our skin and connective tissue.
L-Proline is a unique amino acid. The body can make its own proline, and it is also found in many protein-rich foods.
What does the research say about L-Proline?
L-Proline is an essential component of collagen. Together with its close relative hydroxyproline, it makes up a large share of collagen's structure.
Why it's in Women's ProMulti
Lysine, Proline, and Glycine are three amino acids involved in collagen synthesis and the overall health of connective tissues. L-Lysine is essential for collagen cross-linking, as it is a precursor to hydroxylysine, which strengthens collagen fibres. It also supports tissue repair and immune function. L-Proline is necessary for producing hydroxyproline, an amino acid that stabilises the collagen triple helix, ensuring the strength and integrity of skin, bones, and other connective tissues. Glycine, the most abundant amino acid in collagen, forms the basic structural framework for collagen fibres, contributing to flexibility and resilience. In addition, these amino acids have the following benefits.
L-Proline may exhibit antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. This action supports overall cellular health and longevity.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
One of the most clinically trialled bacteria, Acidophilus is a gut-friendly bacteria helping the digestive system break down sugars, such as lactose into lactic acid.
Inulin
Inulin is a gut-friendly fibre that helps friendly, active bacteria in your gut to grow. Inulin is a 'prebiotic', and prebiotics are vital to the health of probiotics.
L-Glycine
L-Glycine is an amino acid that has a calming and regenerative effect, reducing the time it takes to fall asleep, enhancing sleep quality, and reducing feelings of tiredness during the day.
Lactobacillus Casei
Lactobacillus Casei is one of these important organisms and plays a substantial role in the health of our digestive system.
Lactobacillus Plantarum
Lactobacillus plantarum is a well-studied probiotic strain that supports everyday gut health and digestive comfort.
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
Lactobacillus rhamnosus is an extensively studied 'good bacteria' that exists naturally in your body, helping prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in your stomach.
Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is acclaimed for helping support relaxation and improving digestion.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium is a 'mineral superhero', supporting over 300 processes in the body. It is vital for psychological wellbeing, energy, relaxation, healthy mood, muscles, and bones.
