How It Works
How It Works
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that serves as a building block for proteins throughout your body. Since your body cannot produce lysine naturally, you must obtain it through diet or supplementation to maintain adequate levels for proper protein synthesis and immune function.
Who It's For
Adults looking to support their immune system with an essential amino acid. Those following restrictive diets who may not get adequate lysine from food sources. People seeking a simple, well-researched amino acid supplement.
Who It's Not For
Those already getting abundant lysine from protein-rich diets may not need supplementation. Pregnant or nursing women should consult their healthcare provider.
