LYSINE

LysineL-Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it must be obtained from food or other sources. Like all amino acids, lysine functions as a building block for proteins. Because it helps to build muscle protein and repair tissues, lysine is especially important for those recovering from surgery or sports-related injuries. †

Lysine helps improve the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevent loss of calcium in the urine. Some researchers speculate that L-Lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. In addition, test tube studies suggest that L-Lysine in combination with L-arginine (another amino acid) increases the activity of bone-building cells and enhances production of collagen. Using iron and vitamin C, lysine helps form collagen.†
