L-Lysine - Free Form * 1,000 mg L-Lysine is an essential free-form amino acid, which acts as a precursor for other amino acids including L-carnitine(needed for fat metabolism). L-Lysine is crucial to the formation of collagen, a major part of the body's connective tissues. L-Lysine also contributes to energy production when converted into acetyl coenzyme A, one of the principal fuels for the Krebs cycle.

Maintains growth, lean body mass, and the body's store of nitrogen. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid. This means that the human body cannot produce L-Lysine and this important amino acid must be obtained from dietary intake. For years, L-Lysine has been considered in the treatment of herpes and cold sores, and more recently, has been attracting attention as a possible addition to the fast-growing list of muscle-building nutrients. L-Lysine is a necessary building block for all protein in the body. L-Lysine plays a major role in calcium absorption; building muscle protein; recovering from surgery or sports injuries; and the body's production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
L-Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium. L-Lysine has many functions in the body because it is incorporated into many proteins, which are used by the body for a variety of purposes.
Brewer's yeast, legumes, dairy, fish, and meat all contain significant amounts of L-Lysine. Most people, including vegans (vegetarians who also avoid dairy and eggs), consume adequate amounts of L-Lysine. Athletes involved in frequent vigorous exercise have an increased need for essential amino acids.
L-Lysine supplementation has been shown to increase the absorption of calcium and it may reduce its excretion. L-Lysine works with other essential amino acids to maintain growth, lean body mass, and the body's store of nitrogen.
