L-Lysine
Essential amino acid for healthy nitrogen balance and more
Supplement facts
For you, if you are looking for an essential amino acid to fight against age-related factors
L-Lysine supplementation can:
Increase calcium absorption and retention
Promote a healthy stress response
Support healthy nitrogen levels
Inhibit glycation, which can support age-related factors
Lysine or L-Lysine is a building block for proteins, which is not produced by our body. That means that it needs to be integrated through our diet. Some people need Lysine supplementation to support calcium metabolism, which can impact bone and vascular health, and to encourage a healthy stress response, among other benefits.
What is lysine, or L-lysine? It's an essential amino acid that the body can’t produce on its own and must obtain through the diet. It plays a vital role in protein synthesis and works together with other essential amino acids to support growth, maintain lean body mass, and help preserve the body's nitrogen balance.
While most people consume adequate amounts of lysine, intake may be lower in some plant-based diets, particularly if foods such as beans and lentils are not consumed regularly. Athletes and highly active individuals may also have increased requirements for essential amino acids.
Research shows that supplementation with lysine can support healthy calcium metabolism, helping the body use calcium effectively to maintain strong bones and healthy blood vessels.
Lysine has also been studied for its role in promoting eye health and protecting tissues from the effects of glycation.
Moreover, lysine may help promote a healthy stress response. Studies have shown that lysine, especially when combined with arginine, can help support normal hormonal responses to stress and contribute to overall well-being.
