Product Overview

L-Proline, CAS 147-85-3, is a cyclic amino acid and a key structural component of collagen. It participates in the natural synthesis of collagen in the human body and helps maintain the health of connective tissues. Widely adopted as a nutritional ingredient, L-Proline is commonly incorporated into dietary supplements for joint and skin nutrition, functional food and beverage fortification, as well as clinical nutrition and pharmaceutical preparations. In cosmetic skincare formulations, it supports skin matrix structure and maintains skin elasticity. It appears as white crystalline powder. Our cosmetic, food and pharma grade L-Proline conforms to AJI, USP, EP and CP.

Character

L-Proline appears as white crystalline powder and is soluble in water. It maintains stable physical and chemical properties under cool, dry and sealed storage conditions. Produced by microbial fermentation, L-Proline delivers high purity, low impurities and consistent batch quality. Thanks to its unique cyclic molecular structure, it serves as an essential building block for collagen formation and supports normal connective tissue metabolism.
