NOW Foods L-Lysine 833mg Capsules - 100 Vegetarian Capsules

Optimized Product Description

L-Lysine, an essential amino acid, is a building block for protein and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. NOW Foods L-Lysine (833mg) vegetarian capsules provide a convenient way to supplement your daily intake of this vital nutrient.

Known for its potential to combat herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks, L-Lysine works by competing with arginine, an amino acid that HSV requires for replication. By inhibiting arginine's availability, L-Lysine may help reduce the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks, both oral and genital. Research from the University of Illinois College of Medicine has even shown potential mood-boosting effects.

Beyond herpes management, L-Lysine offers a range of potential benefits, including:

• Immune Support: L-Lysine is crucial for the formation of antibodies and immune cells. A deficiency can weaken the immune system, leaving you more susceptible to illness.
• Stress Management: Stress depletes L-Lysine, making supplementation beneficial during periods of high stress.
• Improved Mood: Studies suggest L-Lysine may have antidepressant-like effects.
• Enhanced Protein Synthesis: As an essential amino acid, L-Lysine is vital for building and repairing tissues, promoting muscle growth, and supporting overall health.
• Increased Energy Levels: L-Lysine contributes to overall energy production. It may alleviate symptoms like fatigue and improve alertness.
• Bone Health: L-Lysine plays a role in calcium absorption, supporting bone health and potentially preventing osteoporosis.
• Hair and Skin Health: L-Lysine plays a key role in collagen production, improving skin health and potentially promoting hair growth.

L-Lysine is a safe and effective supplement; however, it's always best to consult your physician before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have underlying health conditions.

Dietary Sources of L-Lysine include: dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, legumes, and potatoes. However, supplementing with L-Lysine can ensure adequate intake, particularly for those following restrictive diets or experiencing increased demand due to stress or illness.
