Now Foods, L-Lysine, 1,000 mg

Description

Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is required for the production of all proteins in the body and is necessary for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones.

Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which is necessary for fat metabolism and energy production. In addition, lysine may help support a healthy immune system and proper cardiovascular function.

This product contains twice as much L-lysine (1,000 mg per tablet) as our regular strength product (500 mg per tablet).

NOW ® L-Lysine is a pharmaceutical grade essential amino acid.
