L-Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids, which means that the human body cannot produce it. It ensures the proper growth and repair of tissues, and is important for the synthesis of certain substances responsible for the conversion of fatty acids into energy. Participates in the production of hormones and enzymes, as well as in the synthesis of collagen.

Lysine is involved in building skeletal muscle and maintains nitrogen levels in the body. It supports the absorption of calcium and reduces its loss through urine, which is why it is considered to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Lysine has been shown to inhibit the growth of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and prevent the production of arginine, another amino acid needed to reproduce HSV.

There is strong evidence that l-lysine therapy is effective in the prevention and treatment of labial and genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Studies show that l-lysine has strong antiviral activity against HSV and also that it inhibits the growth of the virus by inhibiting arginine synthesis.

Regular intake of l-lysine can play a very important role in preventing complications caused by the herpes simplex virus. One of the best ways to control the virus is a diet low in arginine and extra intake of l-lysine, in the form of a supplement!

Each capsule of the Natural Factors product is perfectly absorbed, delivering 500 mg of l-lysine in free form.
