Now Foods Lysine 500 Mg (100 Caps)

L-Lysine plays a major role building muscle protein, recovering from surgery or sports injuries, in calcium absorption, and the body's production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies. Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is necessary to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. Lysine is significant for proper growth and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient in charge for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol.

Osteoporosis: L-lysine helps improve the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevent loss of calcium in the urine. In so doing, some researchers speculate that L-lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Herpes and Shingles: Taking lysine supplements can speed recovery time and lessen the chance of recurrent breakouts of the herpes infection. Other: Certain forms of lysine and/or lysine bound to anti-inflammatory medications may help ease pain following an episiotomy (a procedure performed during labor that involves cutting the vaginal area to enlarge the vaginal opening and facilitate delivery). These forms of lysine may also relieve migraine headaches and painful periods. Whether L-lysine and other readily available lysine supplements also offer these benefits is not known.
