Description
.A low-protein diet, particularly intense physical activity or simply advancing age, could generate a lack of lysine, one of the nine essential amino acids for the proper functioning of our body
What’s this
It is an L-lysine supplement produced in full compliance with high quality standards. Lysine is a food supplement based on L-lysine, an amino acid present in the proteins of all living forms. It falls within the group of essential amino acids, that is, those amino acids that the human body is unable to produce itself, therefore it needs to be taken from the outside.
There are also certain dietary styles based on wheat or typically vegetarian / vegan that can show a characteristic deficiency of this amino acid.
What it is useful for and how it works
The primary function of amino acids is to combine together to form proteins, nutrients necessary for the structure and function of a whole series of fundamental elements for our body, such as skin, muscles, blood elements, hormones, internal organs. , hair, nails. Amino acids are also essential for the implementation of all those biological processes responsible for the well-being of the body such as digestion, assimilation and transport of nutrients following a meal; immune defenses, growth, development and reproduction. There are many examples that could be given of the functional importance of the presence of amino acids in our body.
Each amino acid then activates certain processes more than others.
For example, lysine, in the presence of vitamin C, participates in the formation of collagen, a fundamental protein for the formation of skin and skin appendages, tendons, cartilages and bones.
L-lysine plays a fundamental role in the complex of physiological reactions that lead to the production of antibodies, growth hormones and enzymes. Some scientific studies highlight the involvement of L-lysine in all those processes that counteract the activation of herpes simplex, responsible for the annoying episodes of cold sores.
Our advice for use: 1-2 capsules a day accompanied by a generous sip of water, preferably between meals.
