L-Lysine

L-Lysine is our finest lysine supplement. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot produce it on its own – we must obtain it through our diet. To meet our daily requirement, it is recommended that we consume at least 30 mg of lysine per kilogram of body weight each day. Lysine is found in high amounts in fish, meat, and other animal products. Vegetarians, particularly those who consume a lot of grains but few legumes, may be at increased risk of not getting enough lysine.

One of the most well-known uses of lysine is its traditional role in managing the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Research has shown that lysine helps prevent the herpes virus from using arginine, another amino acid, to replicate. For those taking lysine for herpes, dosage is crucial. Studies have shown that doses of 3000 mg can be effective, whereas lower doses, such as 1250 mg, have not proven as successful. Lysine also offers other important benefits, such as aiding the body’s absorption of calcium and promoting wound healing, making it a valuable supplement for both skin and bone health.
