L-lysine 500mg 60 vegetarian capsules Vitals

Product description

About 500 amino acids are found in nature. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body, these are referred to as 'fundamental amino acids'. These fundamental amino acids can again be subdivided into the categories 'essential', 'semi-essential' and 'non-essential'. L-lysine belongs to the so-called essential amino acids, which means that the body cannot make it itself from other amino acids, and that one is completely dependent on food to meet the daily requirement. In vegetarians and vegans, the intake of lysine may be insufficient, since animal proteins in particular are rich in lysine. L-lysine is the precursor of the amino acid carnitine. This product uses the natural L-form of lysine, not the synthetic D-form. Only the L-shape is physiologically active. Lysine for use in dietary supplements is produced through fermentation by microorganisms. Plants and microorganisms can produce lysine themselves from the amino acid aspartic acid. Allowable health claims: None. NB: Vitals cannot provide (complete) information here about the/all uses of this supplement.
