    Another trusted product from Now Foods.

    Another excellent product from Now. I use their Niacin, Arginine/ Ornithine amino combo, and many other supplements. I am very pleased with this supplement. It is hard to find the branch chains together in high mg. I prefer to buy the separately for that reason. This product contains 500 mg of L-Lysine. Lysine is an amino acid that our bodies can't produce but that is essential for human health.L-lysine is important for proper growth and it supports other amino acids in converting fatty acids into energy and helping to decrease bad cholesterol. Some scientific studies indicate that lysine aids in calcium absorption and it is important to maintain healthy connective tissue. Lysine is especially good for athletes and is thought to help improve endurance and recovery. Many report that it has helped them with problems associated with osteoporosis. It is also recommended by many for the prevention and control of cold sores. I use this to try and increase my natural levels of HGH. I feel younger and have more energy while taking this product. I always receive high quality products form NOW, and I really trust this brand the most.

    Easy to swallow capsules.

    This is the third time that I have purchased this item. I cannot take tablets and after they stopped making the one that I had been buying for years, I had look for another one. First time was correct, so, I needed another one and they sent me tablets by mistake, but, they corrected their mistake and sent me the correct one. Thank you very much.

    A helpful supplement for some people

    L-lysine is an amino acid that our bodies can't manufacture but that is essential for human health. Food and/or supplements are our only sources of this amino acid. L-lysine is important for proper growth and it supports other amino acids in converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Studies indicate that lysine helps the body absorb calcium and it plays an important role in the ongoing health of bones and connective tissues including skin, tendons, and cartilage.While most people get sufficient l-lysine from their daily diet, there are some people, such as athletes, vegans, and burn patients, who can benefit from supplementation of lysine. The following are some of the potential benefits:- It is thought to improve athletic performance in endurance athletes- It may reduce bone loss associated with osteoporosis- It can help treat the symptoms of angina when accompanied by vitamin C- By preserving calcium, it benefits your teeth, cartilage, and bones- It is thought to help improve mental well-being and ward off fatigue- Regular supplementation of lysine is believed to prevent outbreaks of herpes virus such as cold sores- There may be potential for weight management benefitsDaily supplementation of lysine in too high of levels (several thousand milligrams) can lead to gallstone formation or the development of kidney disorders. This amino acid can also react with certain antibiotics to produce toxicity. At 500mg, this lysine supplement from NOW is a good low-dose option.I've been happy with the NOW Natural Products line. They've been producing quality nutritional supplements for 40 years and remain a top-selling US brand.

FAQs

What is L-lysine 500 mg used for?

L-Lysine 500 mg is primarily used to support immune system health, assist in seasonal defense, and promote the production of collagen and elastin. These structural proteins are vital for maintaining healthy skin, bones, and connective tissues throughout the body.

What happens when you start taking L-Lysine?

When you begin taking L-Lysine, your body utilizes this essential amino acid to synthesize necessary proteins, antibodies, and enzymes. Over time, it helps reinforce immune responses, encourages tissue recovery, and assists in calcium absorption.

Does L-Lysine help burn belly fat?

L-Lysine serves as a biological precursor to carnitine, an amino acid derivative that plays an important role in fat metabolism by transporting fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy. While it supports this metabolic process, it should be paired with a balanced diet and regular exercise for weight management.
