Description
General description
L-lysine is an essential amino acid occurring in animals and humans. It is required for proper growth and protein synthesis in the body, and has an established role in lowering the cholesterol level by producing carnitine. L-lysine aids in calcium, zinc and iron absorption. Athletes take L-lysine as a supplement for lean mass building and for proper muscle and bone health. L-lysine competes with arginine during viral replication and reduces herpes simplex virus infection. L-lysine supplementation reduces chronic anxiety in human and reduces viscosity of serum albumin solution for injections.
