L-LYSINE 1000 mg from SOLARAY.
L-lysine is a protein amino acid, classified as essential in humans, so it must be obtained from the diet. Certain proteins, such as those found in meat, poultry, and milk, are rich in L-lysine. Proteins from cereals typically low in lysine content. Wheat, for example, is low in lysine, while wheat germ is rich in the amino acid. Lysine supplementation became popular following studies that claimed that the amino acid can reduce the rate of appearance of herpes simplex.
Action : L-lysine supplementation has an action against herpes simplex. Herpes simplex proteins are rich in L-arginine; studies have shown that when the L-lysine/arginine ratio is high, viral replication and the cytopathogenesis of herpes simplex are inhibited. Lysine can facilitate calcium absorption in the small intestine.
