What is L-lysine?
L-lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce itself and must be obtained through food. It is one of the most important amino acids for numerous bodily functions and occurs naturally in protein-rich foods, especially meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
Mechanism of action of L-lysine:
Against herpes (cold sores & genital herpes):
- Inhibits the multiplication of herpes viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2)
- It competes with arginine, which herpes viruses need to multiply.
- Can reduce the frequency of outbreaks
- Reduces the duration and severity of herpes episodes
- It has a preventative effect when taken regularly.
- Particularly effective at high lysine-arginine ratios.
For the immune system:
- Important for antibody production
- Supports immune cells
- Strengthens the immune system
- Helps in the fight against infections
- Promotes a healthy immune response
For collagen formation:
- Essential for the formation of collagen
- Important for skin, hair and nails
- Supports connective tissue
- Promotes skin elasticity
- Important for wound healing
For bones and calcium absorption:
- Improves calcium absorption in the intestine
- Reduces calcium excretion via urine
- Supports bone health
- Can prevent osteoporosis
- Important for bone density
Other important features:
-
Carnitine production: Lysine is a precursor for L-carnitine (fat burning)
-
Hormone production: Important for growth hormones
-
Enzyme formation: component of many enzymes
-
Protein synthesis: Building blocks for muscle proteins
L-Lysine and Herpes - The Science:
Herpes viruses require the amino acid arginine to multiply. L-lysine competes with arginine for uptake into cells.
- High lysine levels = less arginine available to viruses
- Studies show that 1000-3000mg of lysine daily can reduce herpes outbreaks.
- Preventive effect with regular intake
- Particularly effective in combination with a low-arginine diet
A low-argin diet to support:
Foods high in arginine (avoid if you have herpes):
- Nuts (especially peanuts, almonds)
- Chocolate
- Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
- Oats
Foods high in lysine (recommended):
- Fish (especially tuna, salmon)
- Meat (chicken, beef)
- eggs
- Dairy products
- Legumes
Lysine deficiency - signs:
- Frequent herpes outbreaks
- Weakened immune system
- Tiredness and exhaustion
- Poor wound healing
- hair loss
- Lack of concentration
- Loss of appetite
Who has an increased need for lysine?
- People with a tendency towards herpes
- Vegans and vegetarians
- Athletes (increased protein requirements)
- During growth phases
- During stress
- Older people
Scientifically proven:
Studies show that L-lysine:
- Can reduce herpes outbreaks by up to 50%
- The healing time is shortened
- Calcium absorption improved
- Collagen formation supported
- Strengthens immune function
