What is L-Lysine 500mg of Now Foods?

L-Lysine by Now Foods is a food supplement made from the amino acid L-Lysine.

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot synthesize it on its own. Therefore, we need to obtain it from the diet or supplementation.

The amino acid lysine is actually quite important when it comes to the protein production, including hormones, enzymes and antibodies, as well as carnitine and collagen. The latter is the structural protein that makes up the entire connective tissue, such as the skin, tendons and bones. L-lysine is essential when it comes to absorbing calcium. Therefore, lysine is quite important for a proper growth, since it helps to improve the calcium absorption and it stimulates the growth hormone.

L-lysine supplements improve the immune system since they prevent the onset of infections by helping to produce antibodies. In addition, lysine is necessary for a proper cardiovascular function, since it can help to liquefy the blood, preventing the formation of blood clots.

It also helps to repair the cells that have been damaged by the free radicals, which means that it can help to delay the cell aging processes.
