Dietary Supplement "L-Lysine" Life Extension L-Lysine

L-lysine is not produced by the body and must be obtained from food sources. When intake is insufficient, this deficiency can be compensated with supplements containing lysine, which serves as an effective means in the fight against herpes and other viruses. To prevent a recurrence of herpes following stress, it's essential to maintain the necessary lysine level in the body since it provides immune protection against the herpes virus in all its forms. As an antidepressant, lysine is used for headaches, drowsiness, rapid fatigue, dizziness, and helps in focusing attention. Lysine contributes to muscle mass increase (enhancement), improves the condition of hair and nails (by its ability to accumulate calcium), affects both female and male sexuality (increases libido), and has an impact on blood vessels. It strengthens the bone system in older adults (a deficiency in the amino acid lysine occurs due to the excretion of calcium in the urine), and prevents the development of cataracts in diabetes.
