L-hydroxyproline

L-Hydroxyproline (CAS 51-35-4), commonly abbreviated as Hyp, is a non-essential amino acid derived primarily from collagen hydrolysis.

Where is L-hydroxyproline used?

• Biochemical marker for collagen content and building block in peptide synthesis
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: reference standard and synthetic intermediate for collagen-related peptides and drug compounds targeting connective tissue
• Nutraceutical formulations and cosmetic actives development
• Food and nutrition: collagen-based supplements, functional protein blends and hydrolyzed collagen products requiring amino acid profile verification
• Personal care: moisturizing and stabilizing agent in anti-aging creams, serums and skin-conditioning treatments with collagen support claims
• It serves as an analytical reagent in quality control laboratories for quantifying collagen content in raw materials and finished products.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk quantities standard; smaller quantities for R&D and QC
