L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone. L-Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production. In addition, L-Lysine may help to support a healthy immune system and proper cardiovascular function.

What Is NOW Foods L-Lysine?
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid required for normal protein synthesis. Because the body cannot manufacture sufficient lysine on its own, it must be obtained from dietary sources such as meat, fish, dairy products, legumes and supplements.
Lysine contributes to the formation and maintenance of collagen and elastin, which help provide structure to skin, tendons and bones. It also acts as a precursor to L-carnitine, a compound involved in energy metabolism.
NOW Foods L-Lysine provides this essential amino acid in a convenient 500 mg vegetarian capsule.
