NOW Foods L-Lysine, 1000mg
NOW Foods L-Lysine 1000mg is an essential amino acid food supplement, offered as tablets, capsules or a loose powder to suit different preferences.
Key features
- 1000mg L-lysine
- Essential amino acid, so it has to come from food or supplements
- Used by the body to make proteins, including hormones, enzymes and antibodies
- Needed for the formation of carnitine and collagen
- Plays a role in calcium absorption
Because the body cannot produce lysine on its own, intake from the diet matters. Collagen, which depends on lysine, is the structural protein in connective tissues such as skin, tendons and bone. Tablets and capsules give a measured amount, while the powder can be stirred into a drink.
Available as 100 or 250 tablets, 100 or 250 capsules, or 454g powder.
