How Proline Can Make You A Hypochondriac | Supplement Deep Dive


Listen Later

In this episode, Joe dives into the complex world of proline supplementation.

He discusses the impacts proline has on collagen synthesis, aiming for improved skin health, enhanced wound healing, and better exercise recovery. 

However, the journey took an unexpected turn as Joe explains the biomechanics behind why he experienced several side effects such as anxiety, restlessness, and hypochondriac behaviors.

Throughout the episode, Joe explores:

  • The intended benefits of proline for collagen synthesis and recovery

  • The biochemical interaction of proline with lysine and vitamin C as per the Linus Pauling protocol

  • The severe side effects experienced due to high doses of proline and the genetic predisposition affecting glutamate metabolism

  • Strategies attempted to mitigate these effects

  • Join Joe as he unpacks the lessons learned from his proline supplementation experiment, shedding light on the potential risks and the importance of understanding one's genetic makeup before undertaking such regimens.
