L-Proline Capsules give you the amino acid that makes up a third of collagen, on its own and from a vegan source. Each capsule provides 340mg of L-proline and you take two capsules twice a day with meals. One pot holds 100 capsules, which lasts about 25 days.
Proline is an amino acid your body makes and gets from food. With glycine it makes up most of collagen, the protein of your skin, tendons and cartilage, so it is used wherever collagen is built or repaired.
L-Proline Capsules are most useful for:
If you eat collagen or gelatin, Classic Collagen Peptides Powder gives you proline together with glycine in the ratio the body uses.
Each capsule provides 340mg of L-proline. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell. Free form L-proline and proline are other names for it.
Take two capsules twice a day with meals, which gives you 1360mg of L-proline a day. Taking it with meals supports absorption and puts the proline alongside the other amino acids in your food.
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
L-proline on its own, or collagen?
Collagen powder supplies proline together with glycine and the other amino acids of collagen, from bovine or marine sources. L-proline capsules give the single amino acid from a vegan source at a measured amount, which suits vegans and vegetarians building the set from separate parts.
How much L-proline should I take a day?
Take two capsules twice a day, which gives you 1360mg.
When is the best time to take it?
Take it with meals twice a day, with the morning and evening meals as the easy habit.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. For collagen pair it with Glycine Capsules, the other main collagen amino acid, plus Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder, because your body uses vitamin C to turn proline into the form collagen needs. Joints are where Hyaluronic Acid Capsules and N-Acetyl Glucosamine Capsules complete the cartilage set.
Does L-proline have side effects?
Proline is an amino acid found in everyday food and is well tolerated at this amount.
How long does it take to work?
Give it 8 to 12 weeks of daily use before you judge the effect on skin, joints or connective tissue, because collagen is built slowly.

Proline provides amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins.
Often best on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
Yes, though taking separately may improve absorption.
Amino acids build proteins, neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes. Each has specific functions beyond protein synthesis.
Generally yes for most people. Those with certain metabolic conditions should consult a practitioner.
Collagen powder supplies proline together with glycine and the other amino acids of collagen, in the ratio the body uses, and it comes from bovine or marine sources. L-proline capsules give the single amino acid from a vegan source at a measured dose. People who eat collagen or gelatin usually get enough proline; the capsules suit vegans and vegetarians building the collagen amino acids from separate parts, usually alongside glycine and vitamin C.
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
