The Possible Benefits of L-Lysine, a Dietary Supplement
• Essential amino acid important for the absorption of calcium, formation of collagen and production of bone tissue
• Hair loss may occur as a result of lysine deficiency
• 1,000 – 3,000mg per day may accelerate the healing of lesions associated with herpes simplex virus type 1 & 2
• Free form amino acid, high purity, well tolerated

L-lysine is an essential amino acid, important for the absorption of calcium, the formation of collagen (contained in cartilage, connective tissue, skin, hair and bone), and the production of bone tissue. May be a useful treatment for angina. * Free form amino acid, high purity, well tolerated.

Herpes and Cold Sores

Studies have shown that supplements of lysine taken in sufficient doses can reduce the intensity and frequency of cold sores and herpes outbreak. In addition, l-lysine may help accelerate recovery time.

On another aspect of herpes and cold sores infections involves the ratio of lysine to arginine. A higher lysine to arginine ratio seems to help many patients reduce the incidence of herpes outbreaks.

In a recent research, patients who seem to respond to lysine treatment suggest a dose of 1500mg or 500mg 3 times a day during an infection with a maintenance dose of 500mg daily. Where lysine seems to be a promising supplement for herpes, it is also important to remember that recurrent herpes outbreak could be a complex problem relating to a weakened immune system, stress, nutritional deficiency or diet too high in acid-forming foods.

It helps alleviate symptoms of herpes infection and helps prevent recurrence.

Osteoporosis

Lysine supplementation may help improves the intestinal absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevents loss of calcium in the urine, thereby improving calcium balance within the body. Helps promote bone growth.

Lysine may be an important supplement for menopausal women. Once women reach menopause, they are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis, a disease characterized by the thinning of bone, leaving them vulnerable to breaks and fractures. Lysine may help preserve bone by enabling the body to use calcium more efficiently. Although it is not a cure for osteoporosis, may be one more important tool in preventing it.

Healthy Skin

Also, Lysine is instrumental in the formation of collagen, the underlying tissue that provides the scaffolding that supports the outer layer of skin. Since as we age, we lose collagen, our skin wrinkles and sags. Although both men and women experience this change, in women it is exacerbated by the decline in estrogen, which helps the skin retain moisture and is involved in collagen production. Lysine supplements can help keep skin looking and feeling younger.

Muscle growth

Interestingly, recent research has suggested using L-lysine and L-arginine combination together in stimulating growth hormones, muscle building, weight loss and immune support. It is recommended a dosage of 500mg twice daily or a dosage of 1000-1500mg to be taken before bed time.

Safety

Lysine is found to have little or no toxicity. However, it is important to support the use of any single amino acid in conjunction with other amino acids as well.
