Amix L-Lysine 600 mg 120 cps

Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for growth and helps maintain nitrogen balance in the body. A proper balance of nitrogen in the body prevents glycation (the bonding of a sugar molecule to another, usually a protein molecule) Lysine has many functions in the body as it is incorporated into many proteins that are used for various purposes.L-lysine is an essential building block for all proteins in the body. L-Lysine plays a major role in calcium absorption, muscle building, recovery from surgery or injury, and the production of body hormones, enzymes and antibodies. Studies have shown that intake of lysine accelerates the healing of cold sores and protects against their re-emergence.

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid found predominantly in foods of animal origin. This amino acid is extremely important for protein biosynthesis and thus for the construction of the body's own protein structures (collagen, teeth, bones and muscles). L-Lysine is of particular importance in the gentle fight against herpes infections causing cold sores.

L-Lysine inhibits the transport mechanism of L-arginine in cells, an amino acid important for the reproduction of the virus. Current research shows that the essential amino acid L-Lysine counteracts herpetic infections and prolongs the herpes-free period. It can also significantly shorten the regeneration phase of the intact skin barrier. Targeted and successful treatment of cold sores requires the delivery of 1500 mg of L-Lysine per day, preferably in the form of a pure substance.

It is a dietary supplement.
