Vitakruid L-Lysine 1000mg with Vitamin CL-Lysine is an essential amino acid and a precursor to L-carnitine.
L-Lysine is classified as an essential amino acid, meaning our body cannot produce it from other amino acids. Therefore, for adequate L-lysine levels, we are entirely dependent on intake through diet. This can pose a problem especially for vegetarians and vegans. The essential amino acid is mainly found in animal proteins; meat and dairy are the primary sources. So, if you adhere to a lifestyle with little to no animal products, L-lysine supplementation can be a valuable addition to your diet!
Furthermore, L-lysine is the direct precursor to the semi-essential amino acid L-carnitine, meaning our body can only partially produce this nutrient from food. L-carnitine is also primarily found in animal products, making those who abstain from meat and dairy susceptible to inadequate levels.
Most bioavailable form of L-lysine
As the name suggests, for L-Lysine 1000, we exclusively use the L-structure form of lysine. From a biochemical perspective, the multifunctional amino acid has two forms: the L-structure form and the D-structure form. The body only recognizes the L-structure form (levorotatory form) as natural. The mirrored form, the D-form, does not occur in living material and is therefore referred to as synthetic. The L-structure form guarantees that our L-lysine is one hundred percent natural and also has the highest bioavailability.
A high dosage of 1000 mg per tablet
In addition to the quality of the nutrient, the dosage is, of course, also important. A higher dosage simply provides more active ingredients and thus more effect. Most L-lysine supplements contain between 250 and 500 mg per tablet. Research shows that these dosages are too low for an adequate effect. That is why our L-Lysine 1000 contains no less than 500 mg extract per capsule, and we advise taking up to two capsules per day; a well-substantiated dosage!
Addition of Vitamin C
However, an insurmountable problem with this nutrient is that we are not able to produce the vitamin ourselves. Therefore, we are completely dependent on our diet for an adequate vitamin C level. Taking a good supplement can then be a welcome addition. Moreover, vitamin C ensures better absorption of L-lysine.
User-friendly due to tablet form
Furthermore, we offer L-Lysine 1000 mg in tablet form. Most people consider supplementation in tablet form user-friendly; there is no fumbling with water, stirring, and mixing. So, if your preference is for supplementation in tablet form, L-Lysine 1000 is an excellent choice!
