- Delivered naturally within Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
Hydroxyproline is an amino acid not directly synthesized by DNA; instead, the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase modifies proline into hydroxyproline (a process that strictly requires Vitamin C). It is found almost exclusively in collagen. In the context of supplementation, short dipeptides containing hydroxyproline are the highly bioactive molecules that cross the intestinal barrier, enter the bloodstream, and bind to receptors on fibroblasts to stimulate endogenous collagen production.
