What is Lysine?Â
Lysine (L-Lysine) is an amino acid (building block of protein).  Unlike some other amino acids, the human body cannot make Lysine, therefore it must be eaten in the diet.  Sources of Lysine include meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and some plants such as soy and other legumes.Â
Lysine is thought to help the body produce infection-fighting antibodies, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues.  Lysine is a vital component of all proteins in our bodies, and is especially important in building muscle protein.Â
The human body needs Lysine for healthy functioning.  It is a crucial component of proteins that play a role in helping body tissue grow and recover from damage.Â

Use & Benefits
Some studies suggest that Lysine supplements may reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks by keeping the herpes simplex virus from replicating.Â
Lysine can be taken orally or applied directly to the skin for preventing and treating cold sores (caused by the virus called herpes simplex labialis).  When applying directly to the skin, combine Lysine to a facial cream.Â
Lysine is 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.Â
Lysine may help you absorb more calcium and reduce the loss of calcium in your urine.  It could even reduce the risk of calcium build up in your blood vessels.Â
Lysine is essential for the formation of collagen, an essential protein that affects wound repair.  Some studies indicate that Lysine may speed up wound healing and reduce recovery time.Â
Combining Ascorbic Acid to Lysine can also be beneficial.Â
