Swanson Ultra Lumistor L-Hydroxyproline 500mg 60 Veggie Capsules

The amino acid proline has been an ingredient in moisturizing skin creams and serums for many years. Now you can put proline to work for your skin from the inside with Lumistor®, an innovative form of dietary proline (as L-Hydroxyproline) developed by world-renowned amino expert Kyowa Hakko. As a precursor to the formation of collagen, Lumistor nourishes the structural foundation of healthy skin, supports moisture retention within the tissues and helps fight the visible signs of aging.

Studies conducted by Kyowa Hakko have shown that L-Hydroxyproline promotes the proliferation of epidermal cells and has a positive effect on moisture retention. Patented L-Hydroxyproline is a primary constituent of skin collagen, connective tissue and bone. It has a physiological function in stabilizing the collagen 3-D structure. Lumistor L-Hydroxyproline offers a real alternative for those who wish to avoid animal-based collagen supplements. And unlike animal-derived collagen, Lumistor is produced by a proprietary fermentation process, eliminating any risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) contamination.
