Description: L-Lysine 1000mgDietary Supplement -Made in the United States- (1 Bottle, 100 Tablets) Lysine is a building block for protein. It's an essential amino acid because your body cannot make it, so you need to obtain it from food. It's important for normal growth and muscle turnover and used to form carnitine, a substance found in most cells of your body. What's more, it helps transport fats across your cells to be burned for energy. L-lysine is the form of lysine your body can utilize. It's naturally found in food and is the type used in supplements. Prevent Cold Sores.Cold sores or fever blisters are symptoms of an infection, often appearing on the lip or the corners of your mouth. They appear as fluid-filled blisters that can cause discomforts, such as tingling, pain and burning. Plus, they may make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which can hide in your spine. In times of stress or if your immune system is weakened, HSV-1 can trigger the development of a cold sore. Lysine supplements may help prevent HSV-1 from replicating and reduce the duration of a cold sore. It's thought that lysine blocks another amino acid called arginine, which HSV-1 needs in order to multiply. One study found that a daily supplement of 1,000 mg of lysine resulted in fewer cold sores in 26 people who were prone to recurrent cold sores. May Reduce .Lysine may play a role in reducing . One study found that it blocked receptors involved in stress response. Researchers observed that rats given lysine had reduced rates of stress-induced loose bowel movements. A one-week study in 50 healthy people noticed that supplementing with 2.64 grams of lysine and arginine lowered stress-induced and reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Improve Calcium Absorption.Lysine may help your body hold on to calcium. It's believed that lysine increases calcium absorption in your gut and helps your kidneys to hold on to the mineral. A study in 30 women, 15 healthy and 15 with osteoporosis, found that supplementing with calcium and lysine reduced the loss of calcium in the urine. The women given 3 grams of calcium alone had a progressive increase in calcium in their urine. However, the women who also received 400 mg of lysine lost less calcium through their urine. Lysine appears to protect your bones and may also play a part in controlling whereto calcium is transported in your body. For example, it has been shown to prevent the buildup of calcium in blood vessels in rats. This kind of buildup is a risk factor for heart disease. Wound Healing and Collagen Production.Lysine can improve wound healing in your body. In animal tissue, lysine becomes more active at the site of a wound and helps speed up the repair process. Lysine is required for the formation of collagen, a protein that acts as a scaffold and helps support and give structure to skin and bones. Lysine itself may also act as a binding agent, thereby increasing the number of new cells at a wound. It may even promote the formation of new blood vessels. In one animal study, a combination of lysine and the amino acid arginine was able to speed up and improve the healing process of fractures. Other BenefitsLysine - like all amino acids - is used as a building block for protein in your body. These proteins help produce hormones, immune cells and enzymes. Lysine may have several benefits in addition to those discussed earlier. Here are other areas where lysine may benefit your health:Eye Health: A study in rats with diabetes found that lysine supplements could prevent the development of cataract.Diabetes: One study showed that lysine may help reduce blood sugar response in people with diabetes.Blood Pressure: A study in 50 adults with lysine deficiency and high blood pressure found that lysine supplements significantly reduced blood pressure.
