L-Lysine HCl is the free form of Lysine, an essential amino acid, meaning it is readily absorbed and used by the body,
without needing to be digested. Lamberts uses USP grade Lysine, ensuring the quality of the amino acid for nutritional products
used in scientific studies.
L-Lysine consumption is associated with improved calcium absorption and decreased urinary excretion. Since calcium plays a structural role, forming part of bone (38%), it contributes to maintaining bone density and, consequently, its strength, thus preventing osteoporosis. L-Lysine is a precursor to hydroxyproline, which is used in collagen synthesis. This protein is part of the composition of supporting organs such as skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage: it provides structure, firmness, and elasticity to the skin, but also contributes to the integrity of muscles, ligaments, and tendons, improving their health.
It also helps increase bone density, shapes bone formation and mineralization of bone mass. At the joint level, it regulates the differentiation of chondrocytes (cells that make up articular cartilage), inhibits their loss, maintains their functionality and prevents cartilage wear. This amino acid has a beneficial effect on reducing the replication of the herpes virus, because when ingested it competitively inhibits the absorption of Arginine, an amino acid used by the virus to form its capsid (its structure), thus reducing the recurrence, severity and recovery time of herpes. dietary supplement
