Proline's benefits include:
- Proline works with vitamin C to help to create collagen
Proline functions to help vitamin C produce collagen and help skin texture. Proline helps with the reduction of collagen production in aging, proline, together with vitamin C gives collagen production a boost and assists with preventing and reducing wrinkles. Collagen is composed of the metabolic by-product of proline called hydroxyproline. - Proline regulates cartilage production
Proline is involved in the maintenance and regulation of cartilage production. Proline also help to heal cartilage tissue if it is injured or damaged in any way. In this way, proline helps to strengthen joints, tendons and muscles (including the heart). - Proline helps with wound healing
Proline helps the body heal the tissues damaged after accident or injury, so it is very useful in wound healing. Proline is an important component in certain medical wound dressings that use collagen fragments to stimulate wound healing.

Recent research is showing that low levels of proline are associated with higher risk for developing diabetes. This is important research as it could open up new areas for diabetes control, maintenance and prevention. - Cells are reliant on proline for intercellular signalling
Recent studies have shown that many of the cells in the body rely on proline to ensure their signaling processes and activation of messages are correct. This is important research as proline is implicated in the activation of certain white blood cells, which can help with helping the body fight illnesses such as cancer and leukemia.
