Description
Individuals with joint and skin issues, such as slow wound healing or skin elasticity problems, might benefit from testing their proline levels, as proline is key for collagen production. It’s also useful for people recovering from traumatic injuries, surgery, or those with weakened immune systems. Additionally, individuals on low-protein diets or those with metabolic disorders affecting amino acid synthesis could find such testing helpful.
What are symptoms of low proline?
Proline is found in protein-rich foods like meat, dairy, and eggs. Gelatin and bone broth are particularly high in proline. For plant-based diets, legumes, seeds, and soy products provide proline, though in smaller amounts compared to animal sources.
Proline supplementation can support skin health by aiding in collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and wound healing. It’s also beneficial for joint health and can aid in the recovery of connective tissue injuries.
