L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that our body cannot manufacture and must therefore be consumed through diet and/or supplementation. Lysine is considered the most indispensable amino acid as it is used to make several other amino acids.
Lysine is found in high concentrations in the muscle, and is used in several systems within the body (not just as a substrate for the production of other amino acids).
Lysine helps to increase the absorption of calcium from our food and calcium supplements. It then helps use this calcium to stimulate the production of bone cells. As a result, it is useful not only in the growth and development of children???s bones, but also in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.
Lysine possesses anti-viral activity which helps reduce the recurrence, severity and healing time of cold sores.
Lysine is required for the production of carnitine, an amino acid that helps transport fat to the muscle to be used as a fuel source.
