L-lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is not synthesized by the body and is obtained exclusively through the diet. L-lysine is necessary for the production of proteins, hormones, enzymes and antibodies.
L-lysine promotes the synthesis of carnitine and collagen. Collagen is the structural protein for the formation of skin, tendons, bones, ligaments, joints, and the vascular system (veins and arteries). Carnitine is a protagonist in one of the main mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism in the mitochondria, and essentially of the hydrolysis of fats and the generation of energy.
L-lysine is an important aid in the treatment of herpes. It acts against the virus by suppressing the metabolism of arginine, an amino acid necessary for the multiplication and activation of the virus.
L-Lysine plays a key role in calcium absorption, as well as preventing bone loss, also known as osteoporosis. A lack of L-lysine can result in the loss of calcium in the urine.
Research studies indicate that supplemental L-lysine may help maintain a healthy immune system as well as normal cardiovascular function. To this day, researchers are investigating the role of L-lysine in lowering cholesterol levels and enhancing post-surgical recovery.
