Product Details
M-Lysine is an essential amino acid required by humans and animals. It plays a vital role in protein synthesis and supports healthy growth. By promoting carnitine production, L-Lysine helps reduce cholesterol levels. It also enhances the absorption of essential minerals including calcium, zinc and iron. Frequently used by athletes as a supplement, it aids in building lean muscle mass and maintaining healthy bones and muscles. In addition, L-Lysine competes with arginine during viral replication, thereby mitigating herpes simplex virus infections. Its supplementation is also proven to relieve chronic anxiety in humans. Furthermore, it lowers the viscosity of injectable serum albumin solutions.
