Hydroxylysine
Hydroxylysine is a collagen-specific amino acid crucial for connective tissue strength and structure.
Hydroxylysine is a non-essential amino acid derived from the modification of lysine, predominantly found in collagen of connective tissues such as skin, bone, and cartilage. It supports the integrity and repair of these tissues and is produced in the body via a vitamin C-dependent process.
Direct human supplementation data is scarce; most evidence relates to hydroxylysine’s role in collagen structure and metabolism.
Supports bone health and strength
LimitedHydroxylysine is integral to bone collagen cross-linking, which contributes to bone density and the prevention of fragility disorders.
Promotes tissue repair and wound healing
LimitedEssential for the stabilization of collagen, hydroxylysine aids tissue regeneration and wound closure by supporting connective tissue matrix formation.
Enhances skin structure and elasticity
LimitedBy contributing to collagen remodeling, hydroxylysine helps maintain skin firmness and may support anti-aging effects.
