l-Lysine is one of the 8 essential amino acids required by the body.
"Essential" is the term used to describe the amino acids that
cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet.
The 8 essential amino acids are:
Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan
and Valine.
L-Lysine is necessary for the manufacture of proteins, helping adequate
absorption of calcium and the formation of collagen for bone, cartilage and
connective tissue.
It also provides a nutrient necessary to strengthen the circulation and help
the immune system to manufacture antibodies. l-Lysine helps control the acid/alkaline balance in the
body.
It has been used for cold sores but this is no guarantee that it will work
for any particular individual. One thing that may help cold sores is to stop
eating eggs during this time,
and restrict them in normal
times.
Each nutrient in this formula has been carefully
selected to provide maximum nutrition.
