L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be manufactured by the human body. Our only source of L-Lysine is through diet or supplementation. The human body benefits from L-Lysine because it promotes absorption of calcium, collagen formation, and production of enzymes.
Amino Acids & Your Health
Amino acids are the essential building blocks of protein that promote growth and maintenance of all body tissues. Eleven amino acids can be manufactured by the body while the other nine must come from diet. These nine amino acids are known as the essential amino acids. Although nine amino acids are essential all 20 are important to maintain good health. Essential or non essential simply refers to the body’s ability to produce an amino acid by itself or if it is needed through diet.
