Lysine
Can provide effective treatment for:
•
Reducing the recurrence, severity and healing time of cold sores by the Herpes simplex virus
•
The prevention of bone loss, as it increases calcium absorption
•
Supporting healthy immune function
•
Supporting tissue repair and the synthesis collagen; improving skin, hair, nails and bone health
L-Lysine is an essential amin acid, meaning that it cannot be synthesized in the body. Lysine
is typically found in its highest amounts in meat and dairy. As such, many vegetarians will
be deficient in the essential vitamins. As an amino acid, Lysine is required by the body
for many functions; including the synthesis of various connective tissues such as skin,
collagen, and bone and the productin of hormones and enzymes. Lysine is also required
for the production of carnitine, a non-essential amino acid that helps in the conversion of
fatty acids to energy. One of the best known uses for Lysine however, is the treatment of
the Herpes simplex virus. Research shows that lysine has anti-viral activity and works by
inhibiting the growth of the virus by blocking its use of another amino acid - arginine. It
may also be helpful to avoid foods high in arginine such as chocolate, peanuts, almonds
and other nuts and seeds. Foods high in Lysine include: Red meat, chicken, fish, and most
vegetables. Lysine has also been shown to play a role in helping the body absorb calcium
and may be important for those who have a predisposition to osteoporosis.

La L-lysine est un acide aminé essentiel, ce qui signifie qu’elle ne peut être synthétisée
par
l’organisme.
On
la
retrouve
généralement
en
grandes
quantités dans les viandes et les produits laitiers. Par conséquent, plusieurs végétariens ne consomment
pas suffisamment de cette vitamine essentielle. Puisqu’il s’agit d’un acide aminé, la lysine est nécessaire à
plusieurs fonctions de l’organisme, notamment à la synthèse de différents types de tissus conjonctifs tels
que la peau, le collagène et les os, ainsi qu’à la production d’hormones et d’enzymes. La lysine sert également à la production de carnitine, soit un acide aminé non essentiel qui contribue à la conversion des acides
gras en énergie. Toutefois la lysine est mieux connue, notamment, pour le traitement du virus Herpes simplex. La recherche démontre que la lysine possède des propriétés antivirales et inhibe la croissance du virus
en contrant son utilisation d’un autre acide aminé, soit l’arginine. Éviter les aliments riches en arginine peut
aussi aider de tels aliments comprennent le chocolat, les arachides, les amandes ainsi que les autres noix et
graines. Les aliments riches en lysine comprennent : la viande rouge, le poulet, le poisson et la plupart des
légumes. Il a également été démontré que la lysine aide l’organisme à absorber le calcium et qu’elle peut se
révéler importante pour les personnes susceptibles d’être atteintes d’ostéoporose.
