L-Lysine is a dietary supplement formulated to promote immune health, support protein synthesis, and support antioxidant activity. L-Lysine is available in capsules from Natura-Genics®.
Key Ingredients
L-lysine is an essential amino acid, which means the body does not naturally produce it. Instead, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
Benefits of L-Lysine
• Promotes Immune Health
Individuals who are looking to give their immune system some support may benefit from including l-lysine in their nutritional intake. L-lysine is believed to help the body produce infection-fighting antibodies, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues. Some studies have suggested that l-lysine may be effective in relieving cold sores by stopping the reproduction of the virus that causes them. Supplementation may promote protection against recurring cold sores.
• Supports Protein Synthesis
Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. Cells are continuously making proteins through the process of protein synthesis. To make a new protein, ribosomes match genetic coding with a specific amino acid such as l-lysine. Amino acids make up proteins that help the body break down food, grow, and repair body tissue, among many other bodily functions.
• Supports Antioxidant Activity
Antioxidants help protect the body against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is crucial for overall well-being. Alkaline amino acids, including l-lysine, have been reported to have strong antioxidant activity.
