Lysine is an essential amino acid. This means that the human body
cannot produce L-Lysine and this important amino acid must be obtained
from dietary intake. For years, lysine has been considered in the
treatment of herpes and cold sores, and more recently, has
been attracting attention as a possible addition to the fast-growing
list of muscle-building nutrients.
L-Lysine is a necessary building block for all protein in the
body. L-Lysine plays a major role in calcium absorption; building
muscle protein; recovering from surgery or sports injuries; and the
body's production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium. Lysine has
many functions in the body because it is incorporated into many
proteins, which are used by the body for a variety of purposes. Lysine
interferes with replication of herpes viruses and is therefore often
prescribed by doctors to people with cold sores or genital herpes. A
review of the research trials investigating the effects of lysine on
people with cold sores shows that most, though not all, trials support
the use of lysine.
Brewer's yeast, legumes, dairy, fish, and meat all contain significant
amounts of lysine. Most people, including vegans (vegetarians who also
avoid dairy and eggs), consume adequate amounts of lysine. Athletes
involved in frequent vigorous exercise have an increased need for
essential amino acids
Taking normal amounts of Lysine, no consistent problems have been
reported in humans, though abdominal cramps and transient diarrhea have
occasionally been reported at very high intakes of 15 - 40 grams.
Lysine supplementation has been shown to increase the absorption of
calcium and it may reduce its excretion. Some researchers believe that
lysine may be shown to have a role in the prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis. Lysine works with other essential amino acids to maintain
growth, lean body mass, and the body's store of nitrogen.
