L-Lysine 1000mg - 90 Tablets

Lysine HCl supplement

This high-dose food supplement by Fairvital supplies you with the amino acid L-lysine. Each tablet contains 1000mg L-lysine, which is present as L-lysine hydrochloride. In this form, the amino acid is particularly well soluble in water and therefore has excellent bioavailability.

L-Lysine: essential amino acid

Lysine is an essential, proteinogenic amino acid. It is thus not produced by the body itself and serves to form the endogenous proteins.
For this reason, supplementation is recommended, especially in the case of a low-protein diet and increased requirements.

Important functions of L-lysine

As a building block of proteins, lysine is an important part of structural proteins such as collagen, of enzymes, hormones, plasma proteins, blood coagulation factors and immunoglobulins. In muscles, it is part of the two proteins actin and myosin, which ensure that muscles can move.

Food with L-lysine

Since lysine is a building block of proteins, it is natural that it is found primarily in protein-rich foods - both plant-based and animal-based.
Good sources of lysine include legumes such as soybeans, lentils and chickpeas, but oatmeal, cashew nuts and peanuts also contain high levels of the amino acid.
Good animal sources of L-lysine include cheese, pork or fish.

Amino acids - important building blocks

Amino acids - what is that anyway? Most people know them as building blocks of proteins, which is partly true. Besides essential, semi-essential and non-essential amino acids, they are also divided into proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids.
Proteinogenic amino acids serve the organism, as the name suggests, to form the endogenous proteins, which in turn are needed for numerous functions and processes. Although non-proteinogenic amino acids do not serve as building blocks for proteins, they are nevertheless precursors of important substances in the body such as L-thyroxine, the thyroid hormone.

If an amino acid is essential, it means that it cannot be produced by the body itself, but has to be supplied in sufficient quantities through food or food supplements. Semi-essential means that an amino acid can be produced by the body to a certain extent. However, the amounts are usually so small that if there is an increased need, it is also a good idea to consume these amino acids with food or supplements.
Non-essential means that the body can produce them in sufficient quantities itself. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the body is supplied with enough macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) for synthesis.
