What is L-lysine?
L-lysine is an essential amino acid that can be found in small quantities in a variety of foods. Getting it from your diet can be expensive and time-consuming, so we’ve created a convenient powder to increase your lysine intake, that can be added to your daily smoothie or shake.
As it can be difficult to get exact amounts of lysine from food, supplementing with L-lysine is the super-convenient way of boosting your daily levels.
What are essential amino acids?
Amino acids occur naturally in protein, which helps to build and repair new muscle.1 There are 20 different amino acids, with only nine classed as essential as they can’t be made by the body.
The nine essential amino acids we must get from our diet are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

cold sore relief
Until I discovered L Lysine I got cold sores regularly. Now I take 1/4 teaspoon (measuring spoon) of lysine every day in water, on an empty stomach. The virus never leaves your body, but lysine helps prevent the virus from becoming active. The 250g pouch lasts a year! It doesn't mix easily, but it is tasteless, so that doesn't matter.
Report this reviewimmune support
It's freezing outside and my immune system is keeping up. When other people get sick, I just up my dose and will be OK. The powder itself won't mix well and the taste is unpleasant (weak taste but I don't like it). BTW, you should add to every amino acid description on the site that amino acids shouldn't be used in protein shakes. Individual amino acids need to be takes separatelly from other amino acids/protein because they compete for absorption.Goes Well With:with NOT protein
Report this review"If you suffer from cold sores then L-Lysine is indeed essential. Herpes thrives on some aminos which can be found in high levels in oats, whole wheat, caffeine, chocolate etc, so don't be surprised if you're suffering more on your bodybuilding diet.\n\nLuckily L-Lysine suppreses levels these other aminos and if taken at a high enough dose (approx 1250mg/day) you'll find this dramatically reduces the number of outbreaks you suffer from."
Report this review100% L-Lysine
Packet is easily delivered, e.g. if we are out of house. I trust from the nutritional science that it is effective in complementing a (nearly) vegetarian dietm supplying the one "essential" amino acid that is in short supply in plant-based proteins. Therefore pulses, nuts, grains can be raised to first-grade protein by adding Lysine. That's what I ahve been given to understand anyway! I calcualted that 2.5 grams per day will make a full day's protein intake for an active athlete.Goes Well With:HEMP protein powder - its slightly salty, savoury tase makes the HEMP taste better. It could be sprinkled on any hot meal instead of salt.
Report this review"In addition to keeping your immune system topped up against viruses, adding a small scoop of lysine to your rice protein powder is a simple way to make the amino acid profile complete. The main limiting amino acid in rice protein is lysine."
Report this reviewGood product
I haven't been taking this product long enough to see the full effects it has on my body, but so far so good. I take the product first thing in the morning and use it to wash down my other vitamins, in a quarter- full cup of water. It mixes relatively well and is completely tasteless, which is great!Goes Well With:Water
