Product Description.
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.
Benefits of L-Lysine 1000mg:
May Treat 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.
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. Interestingly, the study observed reduced cold sore breakouts when a person’s blood lysine measure was kept above 165 nmol/l. When blood levels dropped below this level, cold sore breakouts increased.
May Reduce .
Lysine may play a role in reducing . 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.
Promotes Wound Healing.
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 Potential Benefits.
Lysine - 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 patients with diabetes found that lysine supplements could prevent the development of cataracts.
- Lower Blood Sugar: 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.
