Overview Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids. The body needs l-lysine for proper growth and tissue repair. Because it is so important for growth, children need 3-4 times more l-lysine than adults. It is a building block for proteins and is important for production of certain enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and collagen. L- Lysine is involved in the absorption of calcium; thus, it is important to the health of bones and teeth. L-Lysine, along with methionine furnishes the raw materials for the synthesis of carnitine, which promotes fatty acid synthesis on a cellular level. There is substantial evidence that supports the claim that lysine may be beneficial to those with herpes simplex virus (HSV). Researchers discovered that HSV needs arginine to replicate; lysine competes with arginine for absorption. When lysine is present, it inhibits the growth of HSV by wiping out arginine. In a six-month trial of over fifty people, it was concluded that supplemental lysine was far more effective than a placebo in preventing cold sores caused by HSV. Research is being conducted on lysine to determine its potential benefits for a host of other disorders. Our L-Lysine 500mg is kosher and available in 100 count vegetarian capsules.
