Description

Holistic L-lysine contains 500 mg of lysine in free form. This means it is not bound to other amino acids or part of a protein, which facilitates absorption in the body. Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it on its own, so we need to ensure we get it through our diet. It is one of the 20 most common amino acids that build proteins in the body and is crucial for various biological processes, including protein synthesis, tissue repair, and hormone production. Lysine is primarily found in fish and meat. For vegetarians or vegans who rely heavily on grains and consume smaller amounts of legumes, getting enough lysine can be challenging. This is because legumes contain higher levels of lysine compared to the smaller amounts found in grains.

LYSINE AND ITS FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY

  • Involved in protein synthesis: Lysine is essential for forming proteins, which are important for building and repairing muscles and tissues. In the body, lysine is found in elastin and collagen, key components of skin, blood vessels, and ligaments, providing structural function, elasticity, and flexibility.
  • Precursor to the amino acid carnitine: Lysine also serves as a precursor to the amino acid carnitine, which is involved in fat-burning processes.
  • Antiviral: Lysine has also been shown to have antiviral effects in the body, particularly against the herpes simplex virus (1,2). Lysine works by preventing the virus from using arginine to reproduce.
  • Calcium absorption: Lysine also plays a role in the absorption of calcium in the intestines, which is necessary for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
