L-Lysine
Introduction
L-lysine is an amino acid whose pharmacological use is much more specific than that of most other amino acids. So far, supplementation of L-lysine is one of the best options available for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, especially in oral forms. L-lysine is also much cheaper than antiviral drugs such as Acyclovir. L-lysine supplementation works by tilting the balance between lysine and arginine heavily in favor of lysine. This ameliorates herpes outbreaks because the herpes virus depends on the presence of arginine for its replication.

Why We Make It?
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body. Essential amino acids like L-Lysine can not be made in the body and must be supplied by the diet or supplements. L-Lysine supplementation increases the absorption of calcium and may reduce its excretion. As a result some researchers believe that L-lysine may eventually be shown to have a role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. L-Lysine has many functions in the body because it is incorporated into many proteins, each of which is used by the body for a variety of purposes. L-Lysine interferes with replication of herpes viruses and is therefore often prescribed by nutritionally oriented doctors to people with cold sores or genital herpes.

Lysine in combination with arginine is used by bodybuilders for the combination's alleged effect of stimulating the release of growth hormone.
A dietary supplement to support the body's anti-body, hormone, and enzyme functions. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that it is required for human nutrition and is not produced by the human body.
