Why Collagen Matters
Collagen is the body’s most abundant structural protein—found in skin, bones, joints, ligaments, and connective tissue. But as early as your 20s, collagen production begins to decline, dropping 1–1.5% per year.*1 By your 40s, this results in visible and structural changes: skin loses firmness, joints feel weaker, and connective tissues become less resilient.*1,9,10
To build collagen, your body relies on three key amino acids—glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—arranged in a tightly wound triple helix. Of these, hydroxyproline plays the most critical role.7,8
Meet Hydroxyproline—The Master Collagen Signal
Hydroxyproline is a rare and highly specialized amino acid found only in collagen. It plays a critical role in giving collagen its unique triple-helix shape—the very structure that allows collagen to be strong, stable, and resilient.7,8
But hydroxyproline does more than build collagen—it activates it.*2,4,12-14
When collagen begins to break down (like after exercise or with age), hydroxyproline is released into the bloodstream. This acts as a biological signal that alerts your body to ramp up new collagen production. In this way, hydroxyproline serves as the body’s built-in collagen switch, helping to restore and rebuild what’s been lost.*2,4,12-14
By supplementing with hydroxyproline directly, you give your body the raw material—and the signal—it needs to boost collagen production as you age.*1-4
Beyond Hydroxyproline: Complete Collagen Activation
Hydroxyproline is essential—but it’s not the whole story. Your body can also create its own hydroxyproline by converting the amino acid proline—a reaction that depends on vitamin C. That’s why Pro Collagen Activator delivers:
- Hydroxyproline to directly activate collagen synthesis*2,4,12-14
- Proline to support natural hydroxyproline formation*2,6,12,16
- Liposomal Vitamin C to enhance proline conversion and collagen stability*15
- Citrus Bioflavonoids to boost vitamin C absorption and help protect collagen*15

A Word from Our Chief Science Officer
“Hydroxyproline is unique to collagen—and the body is remarkably attuned to it. When collagen breaks down from age, stress, or daily wear and tear, hydroxyproline is released into the bloodstream as a biological distress signal. The body interprets this as a cue to initiate repair. By supplementing with hydroxyproline, we harness this natural signaling pathway—essentially tricking the body into ramping up collagen production in skin, joints, bones, and connective tissue. It’s like flipping your body’s collagen switch back on.”
