Jarrow Formulas L-Lysine 500 (100 Capsules)
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for growth, development, tissue maintenance and repair. Jarrow Formulas’ L-Lysine 500 is the HCl (hydrochloride) form of L-Lysine which is twice as stable as the monochloride form. 625mg of L-Lysine HCl yields 500 mg of elemental L-Lysine.
Lysine is an amino acid not produced by the body, but essential to the growth of protein molecules in the body. It is necessary for tissue repair and growth, and for producing antibodies, enzymes, and hormones. Lysine is found in other protein sources, such as red meats, chicken, and turkey. Most individuals have an adequate intake of lysine; however lysine levels may be low in vegetarians and low-fat dieters. Without enough lysine or any other of the eight essential amino acids, the body cannot build protein to sustain muscle tissue.
The body only uses L-Lysine to build protein. Since amino acid molecules are asymmetrical, each amino acid exists as both a right- and left-handed form, distinguished as "D" and "L" respectively. As a supplement, L-lysine is used to treat the herpes simplex virus, help prevent osteoporosis and cataracts, and boost the immune system.
Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium. Lysine has many functions in the body because it is incorporated into many proteins, which are used by the body for a variety of purposes. Lysine interferes with replication of herpes viruses and is therefore often prescribed by doctors to people with cold sores or genital herpes.

What is Lysine?
|
|
|
Lysine is an essential amino acid and is a basic building block of all protein.
|
|
|
|
Why do I need Lysine?
|
|
|
Lysine is required for growth and bone development in children, assists in calcium absorption and maintaining the correct nitrogen balance in the body and maintaining lean body mass. Furthermore, it is needed to produce antibodies, hormones, enzymes, collagen formation as well as repair of tissue. Since it helps with the building of muscle protein, it is useful for patients recovering from injuries and recovery after operations, and there might be use in lysine to help maintain healthy blood vessels. It also seems to assist in fighting herpes and cold sores.

|
|
What are the symptoms of Lysine Deficiency?
|
|
|
People on a vegan or vegetarian diet, using grains as their only source of protein are often deficient in this nutrient. The symptoms may include anemia, enzyme disorders, lack of energy, hair loss, bloodshot eyes, weight loss and retarded growth as well as reproductive problems, poor appetite and poor concentration.

|
How does L-Lysine help with herpes?
|
|
|
Lysine restricts the herpes virus from becoming active. It does this by interfering with its natural "food" source, Arginine, an amino acid that is required by the virus to replicate and become active.
