Lysine information
<p>I have been doing some research on the subject of longevity, and came accross an amino acid called LYSINE. It is needed to form protein in the body. <br />Lysine is known to boost the immune system by effectively helping suppress the herpes simplex virus, which manifests in symptoms like mouth blisters and cold sores. <br />
Consequently, lysine supplements are now widely recommended for the treatment of herpes. Daily lysine supplements of 500mg were also found to increase the blood level of ferritin (an iron-binding protein ) in women with iron-deficiency anemia. <br />
Lysine is also needed to form collagen, the subskin and connective tissues, and is essential for calcium absorption. <br />
<br />
Since it is lacking in grains, nuts, and seeds, lysine supplements can help prevent calcium deficiencies particularly among strict vegetarians and the elderly. <br />
Lysine also combines with methionine, to form carnitine, an important amino acid that aids weight reduction, and helps to prevent heart disease. <br />
Lysine supplements are widely available in health food stores, either on their own or incorporated in specific formulas.<br />
