Product Details

L-Lysine (lysine) is an essential amino acid which promotes better health and contains no artificial fillers or rice. It is completely suitable for vegans. Proteins are one of the most important macronutrients and can play a significant role in building our bodies. Proteins support growth and development. These proteins are built by smaller units called amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins.¹

Why is L-Lysine so essential?
The human body has the ability to synthesize almost all amino acids, except for a few which we can derive from our diet. These amino acids, which the body is not capable of producing on its own, are called Essential Amino Acids (EAA). L-Lysine is one of the EAA needed for the proper functioning of the body.²

Lysine and calcium balance
Lysine is very important for protein formation and protein stability.^3,4 It plays a significant role in maintaining the calcium balance in the body. Studies indicate that lysine enhances the absorption and retention of calcium.⁵

Lysine and healthy skin
Lysine is found to help reduce breakouts and the duration of cold sores (fluid-filled blisters that can appear at the corners of the mouth) caused by infections. Skin imperfections may appear during times of stress when the immune system is weakened, thereby resulting in the formation of cold sores.^6-8

Lysine and anxiety
In a study conducted among 108 Japanese adults, lysine was found to be effective in to promoting healthy hormonal stress responses.⁹ Lysine also proved to be effective at maintaining healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range.¹⁰ It also serves as a source for the formation of carnitine, which is necessary to perform essential body functions.¹¹
