Product Information
Lysine is termed an essential amino acid as it is one of the eight amino acids that our bodies can not make and so we are completely reliant on our diets to provide lysine. We require 2-3 g a day of lysine and it is most abundant in animal based foodstuffs such as meat. There is very little lysine in most vegetables and even vegetable proteins are not particularly high in lysine, and so some experts believe that vegetarian and vegan diets may provide rather low levels of lysine. The body uses amino acids to build proteins that are essential for the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones.
Huge quantities of lysine are used in agriculture as it is the only amino acid that is routinely added to animal feeds. However we use a grade called USP meaning its quality and purity makes it suitable for clinical nutrition products. Very cheap Lysine products may be based on the lower grade, less purified animal feed grade.

" A wonder pill for me"

I bought this product as I have suffered with dreadful cold sores for as long as I can remember. I did go a year without one but then started getting them every month again nothing had changed in my life or diet. As always I wake up in the morning with a lump on my lip I never get any warning signs put the usual over the counter stuff on that never works but come late evening it was really noticeable they always swell so much I had only had these come in the post the previous day so decided to take 2 before I went to bed u couldnt believe my eyes it had shrunk by morning the lump was very hard and it stayed like that very hard but get smaller as each day went by I was taking 2 in morning and 2 in evening.A week past and it was virtually invisible. I have no idea why it went like that but so glad I didn''t have to hide away I get so embarrassed when they come up. I was very sceptical about taking these but would try anything to get rid of the nasty things.
