Essential amino acids are compounds that your body needs‚ but is unable to produce itself. L-lysine is one of these amino acids‚ and Pure Encapsulations' L-Lysine Vegetable Capsules are a convenient way to ensure that you have enough on a daily basis.
Lysine is one of the building blocks of protein. This allows it to assist in performing a variety of essential bodily functions. For one thing‚ it helps your body produce carnitine‚ which then converts fatty acids into a source of energy. It also contributes to collagen production: collagen may improve the appearance of the skin‚ but is important to more than outward beauty. Collagen is vital to bones and connective tissues‚ such as cartilage and tendons.
One of the most important tasks of l-lysine is to support immunity. It helps shore up your natural defenses to protect you from potential invaders that can get you sick. This immune system support largely comes from its ability to maintain healthy gum and lip tissue; tears or cuts on the mouth give more openings to germs.
Furthermore‚ l-lysine may work to promote the absorption of calcium‚ a mineral essential to strong and healthy bones. Since calcium helps build and maintain bone mass‚ this supplement may make the bones and teeth less susceptible to weakness or breakage‚ which is even more important as you get older.
One capsule provides 500 milligrams of l-lysine HCl‚ along with some fat-soluble vitamin C to further support absorption.
Take two capsules per day‚ between meals. Each bottle of L-Lysine by Pure Encapsulations contains 270 vegetarian capsules‚ which should last for about four-and-a-half months.
