LYSINE 500mg - 250 CAPS

Lysine: An Essential Amino Acid for a Healthy Body

Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone.* Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production.* In addition, lysine may help to support a healthy immune system and proper cardiovascular function.* Let’s take a look at some of the ways in which lysine contributes to a healthy body.

Lysine and Collagen Synthesis*

Lysine plays an important role in collagen synthesis*. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and it forms the major component of connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and joint pain. Supplementing with lysine can help to support collagen production*, keeping our skin looking young and healthy and our joints feeling flexible and strong.

Lysine and Immune Function*

In addition to supporting collagen synthesis*, lysine also plays a role in immune function*. Lysine helps to prevent viral replication and plays a role in antibody production. Supplementing with lysine can help to keep your immune system functioning properly so that you can stay healthy all year round.

Lysine and Fat Metabolism

Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which is responsible for transporting fats across cell membranes to be used for energy production. This means that lysine can play a role in fat metabolism. Supplementing with lysine can help you to metabolize fat more efficiently so that you can maintain your energy levels throughout the day.

As you can see, lysine is an essential amino acid that plays many important roles in the body. If you are not getting enough lysine through your diet, supplementation may be necessary in order to maintain optimal health.
