L-lysine (L-lysine)

Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through food and dietary supplements. Lysine has a wide range of biological effects and, most importantly, lysine is vital as a component of body proteins. This amino acid is found in large quantities in collagen, which provides strength to muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Indirectly, lysine strengthens bones by promoting calcium absorption from the intestine, a deficiency of which can lead to osteoporosis (increased bone fragility). Lysine plays an important role in the immune system, as it is needed in large quantities for the production of antibodies (immunoglobulin). Lysine is part of hormones and enzymes that regulate the body's metabolic processes.

Lysine has the following beneficial properties:

Formation of carnitine, which is responsible for hair and skin condition, wound healing Lysine may improve wound healing. In animal tissues, lysine becomes more active at the site of a wound and helps speed up the healing process. It has been shown to be effective in treating cold sores and canker sores. Some studies have shown that l-lysine may reduce the spread of the herpes virus. Collagen synthesis - helps prevent wrinkles Lysine is needed for the formation of collagen, a protein that acts as scaffolding and helps support and provide structure to skin and bones. Reduces blood cholesterol levels; Improves calcium absorption. L-lysine supplementation has been linked to improved calcium absorption, which is especially important for people at risk for osteoporosis. To date, there are no studies supporting a link between treating osteoporosis and taking lysine, but the importance of calcium's impact on bone health suggests that lysine may be beneficial. Calcium not only affects your bones, but also affects your weight, protects against serious diseases, reduces PMS symptoms, improves dental health, affects the nervous system and muscles, and protects against diabetes. Lysine is thought to increase calcium absorption in your intestines and help your kidneys retain the mineral. A study of 30 women, 15 healthy and 15 with osteoporosis, found that calcium and lysine supplements reduced calcium loss in the urine. Women who were given 3 grams of calcium had a gradual increase in calcium in their urine. However, women who also took 400 mg of lysine lost less calcium in their urine. May reduce anxiety by blocking stress response receptors By eating foods rich in B vitamins, magnesium, and omega-3, you can use l-lysine to treat psychological problems. Lysine improves the absorption of calcium and other substances, thereby restoring the body to its normal state. This amino acid is used to relieve anxiety syndrome and can relieve depression without harming the body. L-lysine acts as a serotonin receptor antagonist. It binds to the receptors and provides some protection against anxiety. It also affects stress-induced reactions, including diarrhea. US scientists, experimenting with lysine, have found that taking lysine can stop hair loss in androgenic alopecia and iron deficiency anemia. There is an American patent for the use of lysine to treat various hair loss problems, including baldness. Lysine blocks 5-alpha reductase. Lysine deficiency negatively affects protein synthesis, which leads to fatigue, fatigue and weakness, poor appetite. Lysine is widely used in bodybuilding, it is added to sports nutrition and dietary supplements. This amino acid can help accelerate muscle recovery after strength training. The modulatory effect of lysine supports positive nitrogen metabolism and muscle protein accumulation. Muscle protection and nutrition are two of the main functions of lysine in sports. In addition, lysine strengthens the tendon corset and skeletal system, which reduces the risk of injury and also speeds up recovery. The average person should get 800-3000 mg of l-lysine daily. The dosage for treating herpes can increase from 1 to 3 grams of the substance.
