Supports Immune Function
l-Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means the body cannot make it and has to get it from food or supplements. Pure Encapsulations says its l-Lysine "maintains healthy arginine production and supports the body's natural defenses."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients whose plan calls for an additional essential amino acid
- People who want a clean, single-ingredient lysine with no extras
- Protocols where I am also looking at l-Arginine and want the two kept separate
- Anyone who prefers a vegan capsule free of common allergens
What Makes This Form Different
- l-Lysine HCl 500 mg per size 0 vegetarian capsule, a single amino acid
- l-Lysine is made by fermentation of grain
- Gluten free, GMO free, vegan and vegetarian; free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, artificial colors and sweeteners, magnesium stearate, and unnecessary binders and fillers
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- Supports the body's natural immune defenses*
- Promotes healthy gum and lip tissue*
- Maintains healthy arginine production*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
I use lysine as a single-ingredient piece that fits beside the rest of a plan. Because Pure Encapsulations ties it to arginine production, I keep an eye on Pure Encapsulations l-Arginine in the same plan rather than guessing. It is directed between meals, so it is easy to place around the other items in the day.
