L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that is available as a nutritional supplement. It helps the body absorb calcium, and supports the creation of collagen. Evidence suggests that lysine may help treat cold sores and help prevent osteoporosis.

Lysine is one of the components of protein. Generally, foods rich in protein contain lysine. Foods rich in lysine are animal foods (such as lean meat of livestock and poultry, fish, shrimp, crab, Shellfish, eggs and dairy products), beans (including soybeans, miscellaneous beans and their products). In addition, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and other nuts also contain more lysine. The content of lysine in cereals is very low and is easily destroyed during processing, so it is the first limiting amino acid in cereals.

1. Participate in the synthesis of body protein

As an essential amino acid in the body, lysine participates in the synthesis of various proteins such as skeletal muscle, enzymes, serum proteins, and peptide hormones in the body.

2. Participate in energy metabolism

Lysine participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine in the body. Carnitine plays an important role in fat metabolism and is an essential cofactor for fat metabolism. Lysine is one of the precursor substances for the synthesis of carnitine, so supplementing lysine can speed up fat metabolism in the body. Lysine has a strong function of passing through the blood-brain barrier, can directly enter the brain tissue, affect the respiratory chain, and provide a necessary energy source for the repair of nerve cells and normal physiological activities.

3. Promote mineral absorption and bone growth

Lysine can chelate with calcium, iron and other mineral elements to form soluble small molecular monomers, and promote the absorption of these mineral elements.

4. Enhance immune function

Lysine is considered to be a non-specific bridging molecule, which can connect antigens and T cells to make T cells produce specific effects against the antigen.

5. Treatment of herpes simplex virus infection

Studies have also found that lysine supplementation can treat herpes simplex virus infection.
