L-Lysine is an amino acid that works as a building block in your body. It is vital for cell growth, tissue repair, and the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. 

Your body cannot make L-Lysine. As an essential nutrient needed for your body to grow and function, it is super important to obtain a proper amount from foods or supplements. 

Here are the 3 main health benefits of L-Lysine!

1. May Stop & Reduce Viral Infection

Studies have shown L-Lysine may block viral replication that happens within your body. When a virus enters the bloodstream it needs certain amino acids to replicate and grow stronger.

 For example, the herpes simplex virus (HSV) needs an amino acid called arginine to grow. L-Lysine works by blocking these amino acids, Therefore, stopping the virus from replicating. This can drastically reduce the duration and severity of a cold or infection (1), (2), (3).

In a 12-month trial, 26 people prone to recurring cold sore breakouts were given 1,000mg of L-Lysine per day. In conclusion, these people had a reduction in the length of their cold sore breakouts along with a reduction in the total number of cold sore breakouts (4).

Some food for thought, if L-Lysine could block other viruses from replicating, could it block the COVID-19 cells from getting the proper essential amino acids needed to grow in the human body? If possible, L-lysine would be a promising treatment for the coronavirus by potentially reducing the duration and severity of infection as it does with cold sores.

As COVID-19 is still a relatively new infective agent, there have not yet been studies done on L-Lysine and its effect on coronavirus. However, we definitely think there is some merit here!

2. May Reduce Anxiety 

Numerous trials have shown L-Lysine to be effective in blocking receptors responsible for creating stress, thus making it a promising treatment for chronic anxiety.

In a one-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, one hundred eight healthy Japanese adults were given L-Lysine on a daily basis. The trial concluded that L-lysine lowered both stress-induced anxiety and levels of a stress hormone called cortisol (5).

In another study, L-lysine was added to wheat flour in a Syrian village. After three months, the lysine-enriched flour reduced cortisol levels in women and lowered the anxiety scores in males (6).

If you are feeling stressed out L-Lysine is definitely a great all-natural option to promote a calm mood!

3. Promotes Collagen Production In The Body 

L-Lysine, a major building block for protein, is required in the formation of collagen. 

Collagen is responsible for 25% to 35% of the body’s total protein content. It makes your skin look youthful, gives your bones/muscle structure, and makes them tough and flexible (7). As the body gets older and slows down on collagen production, L-Lysine in supplement form is a great way to make up for the loss. 

L-Lysine is also known to help speed up the wound repair process by acting as a binding agent. It increases the number of new cells and blood vessels at the site of an injury (8),(9).
