Active ingredients and their forms L-proline (500 mg per 2-capsule serving). An essential (or rather, conditionally essential) amino acid, critically important for collagen synthesis. It makes up approximately 15% of the collagen molecule and ensures the structural stability of connective tissue. Without sufficient proline, collagen fibers become loose. L-lysine (500 mg per 2-capsule serving) - in the form of L-lysine hydrochloride. An essential amino acid that acts as a "cross-linking agent" in collagen fibers (forms cross-links), giving them strength. Lysine is also important for calcium absorption and immune support. Form: Free amino acids (free-form), not part of dipeptides or protein hydrolysates. This means they do not require additional breakdown and are quickly absorbed. Proline + lysine are a classic pair for collagen synthesis. They work in tandem: proline provides the "framework," and lysine provides the strength and stability of the fibers. Together, they produce a synergistic effect that is not possible when taken separately. Additional Information: Vitamin C (a cofactor) and copper are also necessary for maximum collagen synthesis. This product doesn't contain them, but that's not a drawback—it's a monocomplex that can be combined with other supplements. What's important: 500 mg of proline and 500 mg of lysine per serving (2 capsules). The dosage is maintenance-grade, but you can increase it to 4 capsules if desired (for example, when recovering from injuries). The ingredients are a purist's dream: The capsule contains only the amino acids themselves and a vegetable capsule (hypromellose). No magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, colorings, or fillers. This is rare for amino acids—usually they're added "for fluidity." Nothing extra here.
