Proline is a cyclic amino acid that constitutes roughly 15% of the collagen triple helix. Along with glycine, it provides the structural stability required for cartilage, skin, and tendons. While the human body can synthesize proline endogenously from glutamic acid, demand often drastically exceeds supply during periods of wound healing, joint repair, or extreme physiological stress, making exogenous dietary sources critical.
