L-lysine is one of the essential amino acids. Since the body cannot produce this amino acid itself, it must be obtained through food. The main sources are animal proteins, while it is also found to a lesser extent in cereals, legumes and nutritional yeast. Vegans who strictly avoid animal products are strongly advised to take lysine supplements to cover their needs. L-lysine acts as an antagonist of the amino acid L-arginine.<\/p>\n
L-lysine plays a central role in the formation of collagen and elastin and thereby protects the skin from enzymatic breakdown. A deficiency can be associated with impaired immune function, which is why sufficient intake through food is important. It can inhibit the multiplication of the herpes simplex virus (cold sores), support fat breakdown and improve the absorption of calcium.<\/p>\n
