What is L-Lysine?
Vivitas L-Lysine is an essential amino acid. It must be acquired in the diet, because it is not produced by the body. L-Lysine is a necessary building block for protein and is required for the absorption of calcium, and has also been shown to be helpful in bone building. L-Lysine also helps with collagen formation, tissue repair, and healing of muscle and surgical wounds. Studies also show that L-Lysine is able to reduce the recurrence, severity and healing time of herpes outbreaks and cold sores.
How does L-Lysine work?
L-Lysine acts as a precursor to other amino acids. It can also convert into nutrients that are essential for the metabolism of protein and carbohydrates. L-Lysine displaces L-Arginine, and because the herpes virus depends on L-Arginine for replication, L-Lysine is able to prevent and speed the recovery from a herpes outbreak.
Are there studies to support the use of L-Lysine?
Yes. Studies show that L-Lysine reduces the recurrence of herpes simplex labiallis infections and reduces the severity and healing time.
Are there any side-effects from taking L-Lysine?
Although uncommon, side effects of L-Lysine may include abdominal cramps and diarrhea. These symptoms have been reported by those taking extremely high doses (more than 10 g per day). L-Lysine is well tolerated by most people. Discontinue use if side effects occur.
How do I take L-Lysine?
For the prevention and relief of cold sores, take two capsules three times daily. To improve calcium absorption, use two capsules per day. Precautions: Women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid taking L-Lysine unless prescribed by their health care practitioner. Those who require supplemental L-Lysine should avoid taking L-Arginine supplements. Ingredients: L-Lysine, gelatin, calcium silicate, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate
