L-Lysine

NRH0252-100
L-Lysine is one of the many amino acids needed by the body for growth and tissue repair. It is classified as one of the nine "essential" amino acids because our bodies do not produce it. Like all amino acids, lysine is a building block for protein. It also plays a role in the production of various enzymes, hormones and disease-fighting antibodies.

L-Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids required for balanced nutrition and good health.
The richest sources of ʟ-lysine are red meat, fish and dairy products (milk, eggs and cheese). Vegetables are generally a poor source of lysine, with the exception of legumes (beans, peas and lentils). The daily recommended requirement for an adult is about 12 mg/kgBw, which is about 800 mg. Although most lysine needs are met through dietary sources, supplements are now also popular for treating and preventing specific ailments. Lysine has a net positive charge at physiological pH levels, making it one of the three basic (with respect to charge) amino acids. This polar amino acid is often found on the surfaces of proteins and enzymes and sometimes appears on the active site. Lysine is incorporated into proteins at a rate of 7% on a molar basis compared to other amino acids.
Researchers are investigating supplementation and consumption of lysine-rich foods for lowering cholesterol, improving athletic performance and enhancing recovery after surgery. Some professionals recommend taking lysine during an outbreak of mouth ulcers to speed healing; the exact cause of these small but quite painful mouth ulcers is unclear, but most research indicates that a virus is responsible. However, there have been almost no clinical trials using lysine as a remedy for aphthous ulcers.
The most promising application of lysine is its use in controlling and preventing painful and unsightly herpes ulcers caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). ʟ-Lysine supplementation works by tilting the balance between lysine and arginine heavily in favor of lysine. This improves herpes outbreaks because the herpes virus depends on the presence of arginine for its replication.
Lysine has also been shown to be useful in the prevention of atherosclerosis, a hardening of the walls of arteries caused by deposits of lipoproteins (fats). Lysine may be able to loosen and prevent such deposits, keeping artery walls flexible. Thus, there is less susceptibility to hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a major factor in heart attack and stroke.
Lysine supplementation increases calcium absorption and may reduce its excretion. As a result, some researchers believe that lysine may eventually be shown to play a role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Lysine works with other essential amino acids to maintain growth, lean mass and nitrogen storage in the body.
