Product Details
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid needed by both humans and animals for normal growth and protein synthesis. It also participates in carnitine production and contributes to normal lipid metabolism. In addition, L-Lysine supports the utilization and absorption of important minerals such as calcium, zinc, and iron, helping maintain healthy bones and muscles. It is commonly used in nutritional supplements, including products intended for athletes and individuals seeking additional amino acid intake. L-Lysine has also been studied for its interaction with arginine during viral replication, particularly in relation to herpes simplex virus. Research has further explored its potential role in managing chronic anxiety. In pharmaceutical applications, L-Lysine may also be used to help reduce the viscosity of serum albumin solutions intended for injection.
