Life Extension L-Lysine Description
- L-lysine is an essential amino acid, which your body cannot make on its own. L-lysine promotes healthy nitrogen balance and calcium metabolism.
- In addition, it helps promote a healthy stress response and inhibits glycation reactions, which in turn promotes healthy aging.
- L-Lysine contains 100 vegetarian capsules, enough for a 33-day to 100-day supply, depending on your preferred dosage.
- This gluten-free formula is made with non-GMO ingredients.
Most people consume adequate amounts of lysine, but vegan diets need to include beans and lentils in order to provide enough.Athletes involved in frequent vigorous exercise have an increased need for essential amino acids, and vegan athletes face the greatest challenge in getting the right balance and amounts of dietary amino acids.
Lysine supplementation has been shown to support healthy calcium metabolism, which may impact bone and vascular health. Additionally, its protective effects against glycation have been demonstrated specifically in the eye’s lens.
Lysine works with other essential amino acids to maintain growth, lean body mass and the body’s store of nitrogen. In addition, dietary supplementation with the essential amino acid L-lysine has been shown to encourage a healthy stress response in humans with low dietary intake of L-lysine and, together with arginine, normalize hormonal stress responses in healthy adults.

The little amino that could—Lysine is one of the building blocks of protein. It’s also an essential amino acid, which means your body can’t make lysine on its own. But not everybody gets enough lysine in their diet (this is especially true for athletes).
-
Shrug off stress—This helpful amino acid encourages your body’s healthy response to stress. It also helps you maintain a healthy nitrogen balance, lean body mass, and promotes healthy calcium metabolism.
-
Aging the healthy way—Lysine helps inhibit glycation, a biochemical reaction where lipids and proteins bind to sugars in non-functional ways. Glycation contributes to the physiological effects of aging, so lysine can help you age gracefully!
