L-Lysine 500mg x 90 capsules
Description
Health Leads L-Lysine provides 500mg of pure L-Lysine in a convenient vegetable capsule.
L-Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids, meaning it cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through the diet. It is naturally found in protein-rich foods including meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, legumes and certain grains.
Our formula contains 500mg of L-Lysine per capsule with only a small amount of rice flour to support accurate capsule filling and a plant-derived HPMC capsule shell. No magnesium stearate, artificial colours, artificial sweeteners or unnecessary additives are included.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
What Is L-Lysine?
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid required as one of the building blocks used to produce proteins throughout the body.
Unlike non-essential amino acids, L-Lysine cannot be synthesised by the body and must be obtained through food or food supplements.
Only the L-form of lysine is biologically active in humans. Although a D-form also exists, it is not naturally incorporated into human proteins and is not used in food supplements.
Dietary Sources of L-Lysine
L-Lysine occurs naturally in many protein-rich foods, including:
-
Meat and poultry
-
Fish
-
Eggs
-

People following vegetarian or vegan diets can obtain lysine from plant foods, although intake may vary depending on overall dietary choices.

Frequently asked questions
-
L-Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids — amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from the diet. It is found naturally in protein-rich foods including meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, legumes and some grains. As one of the twenty amino acids used to build proteins, L-Lysine forms part of many normal biological processes throughout the body. Because the body cannot synthesise it, regular dietary intake or supplementation is required to maintain adequate levels.
-
L-Lysine and D-Lysine are mirror-image forms (stereoisomers) of the same amino acid. The L-form is the biologically active form found in proteins and used by the body. The D-form does not occur naturally in significant amounts in food or the body and is not used in food supplements. When a product is labelled simply as Lysine, it is always the L-form.
-
Individuals with kidney disease or disorders affecting amino acid metabolism should consult a doctor before taking L-Lysine supplements, as impaired kidney function can affect how the body processes amino acids. If you have any medical condition, are taking prescription medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek professional advice before use.
