Description:

Now Foods L-Lysine 500mg is a dietary supplement providing the essential amino acid l-lysine in convenient capsule form. L-lysine plays a key role in protein synthesis, collagen formation, and tissue repair, and is widely used to support immune health and promote healthy skin, especially in individuals prone to recurrent cold sores (herpes simplex). This product is intended for adults seeking to support overall health, immune function, and normal recovery processes as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Indications:

• Supports general immune system function and natural defense mechanisms.
• Helps maintain healthy skin and lips, particularly in individuals prone to recurrent cold sores (herpes simplex labialis).
• Supports collagen formation, contributing to normal skin, tendon, and connective tissue health.
• Assists protein synthesis, muscle maintenance, and post-exercise recovery.
• May help support normal calcium absorption and bone health as part of overall nutrition.
• Suitable as an additional source of l-lysine for individuals with low dietary intake of lysine-rich foods (e.g., some vegetarians/vegans).
