L-lysine 90 capsules - Holistic

Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means the body cannot produce it itself and therefore must obtain it through the diet. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are needed for a range of important processes in the body, including protein synthesis.

Important building block in the body's proteins

Lysine is involved in protein synthesis and is an important building block in the body's proteins. It is found, among other places, in collagen and elastin, two proteins that provide structure, strength, and elasticity to skin, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments.

Precursor to carnitine

Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, a substance the body produces itself. Carnitine plays an important role in transporting long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria of cells, where they are used in energy metabolism.
