L-lysine: a fountain of youth

Lysine is an essential amino acid, which the body is not able to form itself. It has to be taken in with food. Good sources of lysine are meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, avocados and nuts.

Functions of lysine

Lysine is part of many proteins and has just as many functions. Lysine contributes to growth, tissue repair, formation of enzymes, hormones and antibodies as well as collagen synthesis and bone health. In the bone metabolism, it acts as a helper to place calcium in the bone. Furthermore, it is said to promote clear skin with clean pores and full, strong hair. Additionally, lysine maintains the nitrogen balance in the body and plays an important role in the immune system.

Lysine as a building block of collagen

As a building block of collagen, the amino acid can be important for the connective tissue, the firmness of the skin and the stability of the small and large blood vessels. In wound healing, the amino acid lysine plays an important role because it is involved in cell division and the formation of collagen. Collagen is found in skin, tendons, bones and blood vessel walls and is an important building block for connective tissue.
