Since it is naturally abundant in protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, beans, and vegetables, those most likely to suffer from a deficiency are vegetarians and vegans who eat diets low in vegetables and high in grain-based foods.\nOne of the most common uses of L-lysine supplementation is for the prevention of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It serves this purpose in three ways: by preventing infection with the virus, reducing the risk of developing cold sores in those infected with the virus, and speeding recovery after the onset of cold sores. Lysine inhibits the replication of the herpes virus, which causes the visible warts and the pain, itching, and lesions around the lips. It prevents the absorption of the amino acid arginine, which is necessary for the replication of the herpes virus. Without arginine, the virus cannot fully function, allowing the body to heal faster and reducing the risk of recurrence.\nLysine is also useful for bodybuilding and muscle mass development and helps maintain carnitine levels, an important factor in energy production and aging. Lysine promotes bone health by ensuring proper calcium absorption and helping to form collagen, which makes up bone cartilage and connective tissue. Finally, lysine supplementation has been shown to reduce mood imbalances and even cortisol levels in people who consume low amounts of lysine.\nAOR's L-Lysine provides a safe and effective dose of pure, high-quality L-lysine.\n","brand":"AOR","offers":[{"title":"150 Capsules","offer_id":41635686088875,"sku":"l-lysine-aor-150-capsules","price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/products\/AOR04056-L-Lysine-Front-08-31-2021.png?v=1749236928"},{"product_id":"l-lysine-pure-encapsulations","title":"L-Lysine","description":"\nHelps reduce the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection\nProvides lysine, an essential amino acid that maintains good health\n\n\nProvides lysine, an essential amino acid that maintains good health. The essential amino acid L-lysine cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet. It is best known for its ability to reduce the recurrence of infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes. Since HSV requires arginine to replicate, lysine plays an important role in maintaining the health of gums and lip tissue. Lysine competes with arginine for transport into cells and reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing arginine excretion. It also stimulates the activity of arginase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down arginine. Studies suggest that lysine supplementation significantly reduces the frequency of HSV recurrences, including cold sores. Additionally, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that lysine reduces the occurrence, severity, and healing time of recurrent infections.","brand":"Pure Encapsulations","offers":[{"title":"90 Capsules","offer_id":41635686809771,"sku":"l-lysine-pure-encapsulations-90-capsules","price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/products\/EnergiePLP-Produits_PureEncapsulations_0000s_0062_l-Lysine.jpg?v=1749236770"},{"product_id":"xymobolx-citron","title":"XymoBolX","description":"\nPost-workout sports nutrition supplement\nSource of amino acids contributing to muscle protein synthesis\nHelps build lean muscle mass in conjunction with regular exercise and a healthy, balanced diet\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nThe amino acid (AA) formula that includes XymoBolX has been meticulously developed and studied by internationally renowned researchers in the fields of muscle metabolism, aging, and longevity.

This means that lysine must be consumed in adequate amounts through the diet and cannot be synthesized from other amino acids in the body.\nLysine is required by the body for many functions, including the synthesis of various connective tissues such as skin, collagen, elastin, and bones.\nLysine is also required for the synthesis of carnitine, a non-essential amino acid that aids in the conversion of fatty acids into energy.

It forms a thick gel that lubricates and protects joints and is essential for joint mobility. It acts as a shock absorber, reducing friction, facilitating movement, and nourishing joints. As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, leaving bones vulnerable due to a lack of substance to cushion and lubricate them, leading to friction, inflammation, pain, and potentially arthritis. Studies have shown that the hyaluronic acid content of osteoarthritic cartilage is significantly reduced, and that hyaluronic acid supplementation reduces pain and improves mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.\nLysine and vitamin C are two nutrients whose role in the body is to aid in the formation of collagen and connective tissue. These tissues, along with hyaluronic acid, are necessary for the formation of the fluid that protects and lubricates joints. They also give skin its elasticity and help keep nails and hair strong and supple. Collagen is the fundamental building block of our tissues, which is important for wound healing and scarring, and for preventing wrinkles and sagging skin. Hyaluronic acid, lysine, and vitamin C each play a role in collagen production and promote healthy, youthful skin.\nAOR Lysine, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid combines these three nutrients in a unique formula for arthritis pain relief, improved mobility, and collagen support. Unlike many other hyaluronic acid products, AOR's Lysine, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid formula is completely vegan and wheat- and corn-free.\nAOR Lysine, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid offers a unique and highly effective combination of natural ingredients to support and preserve healthy joint function. This product contains a superior vegetarian source of hyaluronic acid with a lower molecular weight and high potency. This lower molecular weight means the molecules are smaller, making it easier for the body to absorb the product. Vitamin C and lysine provide additional support for improved collagen formation and joint repair.\n","brand":"AOR","offers":[{"title":"60 Capsules","offer_id":41612933890219,"sku":"lysine-vitamine-c-et-acide-hyaluronique-aor-60-capsules","price":48.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 Capsules","offer_id":45513784328363,"sku":"lysine-vitamine-c-et-acide-hyaluronique-aor-120-capsules","price":65.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/products\/image_904cd1f3-6a5d-40ac-be87-ded5eec7cbe4.png?v=1749236338"},{"product_id":"lysine-500","title":"Lysine 500","description":"\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"va-product-function\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelps reduce the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections (e.g., cold sores)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row va-product-code\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"row product-content-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 product-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003eEssential amino acid for the maintenance of good health.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHelps in the formation of collagen.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHelps reduce the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections (e.g., cold sores).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Vita Aid Professional","offers":[{"title":"84 Capsules","offer_id":42267958771883,"sku":"lysine-500-84-capsules","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/products\/VA016_20Lysine_20500_20400x400.png?v=1749235352"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.unytii.com\/en\/collections\/lysine.oembed","provider":"Unytii - Suppléments et Produits Naturels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
