L-Lysine - High-Quality Amino Acid for Health, Nutrition, and Pharmaceuticals
Product Overview
L-Lysine (CAS No. 56-87-1) is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is vital for the growth and maintenance of tissues. Since the human body cannot synthesize lysine, it must be obtained from dietary sources or supplements. L-Lysine is commonly used in dietary supplements, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is widely recognized for its ability to support immune function, collagen formation, and overall health.
Key Features and Benefits
- Essential Amino Acid: L-Lysine is essential for the synthesis of proteins and enzymes in the body, supporting overall health and growth.
- Supports Collagen Production: Vital for the formation of collagen, L-Lysine contributes to healthy skin, bones, and joints.
- Immune System Support: L-Lysine plays a role in supporting the immune system by assisting in the production of antibodies.
- Promotes Absorption of Calcium: It helps in the absorption of calcium in the intestines, promoting bone health.
- Supports Muscle Health: L-Lysine is essential for muscle protein synthesis, helping in muscle recovery and growth.
- Anti-Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): Some studies suggest that L-Lysine may help reduce the frequency and severity of cold sores caused by HSV.
