An essential amino acid, l-lysine cannot be
manufactured by the body and must be obtained from the diet. It is primarily
noted for its importance in healthy protein synthesis, nitrogen balance and
immune function.* Immune Function: l-Lysine provides nutritional
support for the body’s natural defenses, which includes maintaining healthy gum
and lip tissue.* Bone Health: Recent evidence suggests the ability
of l-lysine to promote calcium absorption, providing potential support for
healthy bones.* l-Lysine is produced from the fermentation of
grain. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation
and palm oil. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2–6 capsules per
day, in divided doses, between meals. At this time, there are no consistent side effects
or precautions, although transient gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea have been
reported. Arginine may reduce the effectiveness of l-lysine in some individuals.
If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. At this time, there are no known adverse reactions
