L-Lysine, an essential amino acid, is a building block for protein and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. NOW Foods L-Lysine (833mg) vegetarian capsules provide a convenient way to supplement your daily intake of this vital nutrient.
Known for its potential to combat herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks, L-Lysine works by competing with arginine, an amino acid that HSV requires for replication. By inhibiting arginine's availability, L-Lysine may help reduce the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks, both oral and genital. Research from the University of Illinois College of Medicine has even shown potential mood-boosting effects.
L-Lysine is a safe and effective supplement; however, it's always best to consult your physician before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have underlying health conditions.
Dietary Sources of L-Lysine include: dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, legumes, and potatoes. However, supplementing with L-Lysine can ensure adequate intake, particularly for those following restrictive diets or experiencing increased demand due to stress or illness.
