Lysine

L-Lysine Supplement

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce naturally and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, collagen formation, immune system support, and overall growth and tissue repair. L-Lysine is often used to support muscle recovery, improve bone health, and reduce the recurrence of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus.
