L-Lysine 1000mg 120 Tablets

Supports collagen formation and enhances iron bioavailability through the essential amino acid lysine, which is particularly important for those on vegetarian or vegan diets who may have lower intake levels. It may also help inhibit the replication of the herpes simplex virus.

Daily Intake: 1- 2 tablets

It is preferable to take amino acids with fruit juice or water rather than milk.
An Amino Acid is best taken 1/2 hour before any meal or at bedtime.

To be stored in a cool dry place and protected from light.

An essential amino acid used by the body to make collagen.

Lysine is an essential amino acid and is therefore one of the eight amino acids that our bodies can not make, so we are completely reliant on our diets to provide sufficient lysine. It is used by the body in a number of ways and, particularly in the formation of collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. Practitioners frequently recommend this particular amino acid during an attack of cold sores as it has been shown to inhibit the replication of the Herpes Simplex (Type I) virus.

We require 2-3g a day of lysine and it is most abundant in animal based foodstuffs such as meat. Vegetables and vegetable proteins are not particularly high in lysine, and so some experts believe that vegetarian and vegan diets may provide rather low levels of lysine.

An essential amino acid found mainly in meat and dairy foods

Intake maybe low levels for some vegans and vegetarians

Plays an important role in collagen formation alongside proline, glycine, vitamin C and copper

Works antagonistically to arginine to inhibit viral replication

Lysine increases the bioavailability of iron.

Lamberts uses a USP grade of L-Lysine, which is the quality used in clinical nutrition products. Some very cheap products are likely to contain animal feed-grade lysine as huge quantities are produced for agricultural use.

This product is not recommended for children or pregnant or lactating women.
