Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the body and can only be obtained from food and supplements. Lysine has a wide range of biological effects and, above all, lysine is vital as a component of body proteins. This amino acid is found in large quantities in collagen, which provides strength to muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Indirectly, lysine strengthens bones, as it promotes the absorption of calcium from the intestines, with its deficiency, osteoporosis (increased bone fragility) can develop. Lysine plays an important role in the immune system, as it is needed in large quantities for the production of antibodies (immunoglobulin). Lysine is part of the hormones and enzymes that regulate the body's metabolic processes.
