L-Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, which the body cannot produce on its own. This means lysine must be sourced from your diet. While primary dietary sources include meat, poultry, and dairy, those following vegan or vegetarian lifestyles may find lysine supplementation particularly beneficial.

Lysine plays vital roles in various biological processes, such as:

• Synthesis of Connective Tissues: Supports the production of bone, skin, collagen, and elastin.

• Energy Conversion: Contributes to the synthesis of carnitine, helping convert fatty acids into energy.

• Muscle Health: Aids in muscle growth and recovery, making it an excellent choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

• Immune Function: Helps maintain a healthy immune system.

• Calcium Absorption: Assists in the absorption of calcium and supports collagen synthesis for overall joint and bone health.

• Herpes Management: According to research, lysine may help reduce the frequency and severity of herpes breakouts.
