Use and description |
L-Hydroxyproline is an unnatural amino acid which is made in the body by hydroxylation of L-Proline. The presence of L-Hydroxyproline and proline are key to maintaining the stability of the tight collagen helix. Today L-Hydroxyproline is manufactured by bio-catalysed hydroxylation of proline in bacteria. |
