L-lysine is an amino acid that is critically important for many biological functions, such as immunity, energy production and muscle growth. Since it is naturally abundant in protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, beans and vegetables, those most likely to be deficient are vegetarians and vegans who eat a diet low in vegetables and high in grain-based foods.
One of the most common uses of L-lysine supplementation is for the prevention of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It does this in three ways: by preventing infection by the virus, by reducing the risk of developing cold sores in people with the virus, and by speeding recovery from cold sores. Lysine inhibits the replication of the herpes virus that causes the visible warts and the pain, itching and sores around the lips. It prevents the absorption of the amino acid arginine which is necessary for the replication of the herpes virus. Without arginine, the virus cannot be fully functional; this allows the body to heal more quickly and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Lysine is also useful for bodybuilding and muscle mass development and helps maintain carnitine levels, an important factor in energy production and aging. Lysine promotes bone health by ensuring proper calcium absorption and helping to form the collagen that makes up bone cartilage and connective tissue. Finally, lysine supplementation has been shown to reduce mood imbalances and even cortisol levels in people who consume low amounts of lysine.
