L-Lysine

What is the difference between Lysine and L-Lysine?

Lysine is an essential Amino Acid which is not synthesised in our body and must be supplied by the regular diet.

L-Lysine is the biologically active form of Lysine. Lysine may help to slow down or prevent the growth of the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), which is responsible for causing Cold Sores / Fever Blisters. HSV-1 requires Arginine, which is another Amino Acid, to grow and replicate. Lysine helps prevent the body from absorbing Arginine, making it difficult for HSV-1 to grow and replicate.
