Lysine Supplements

Lysine is an amino acid and a protein building block within the body. We are not able to produce lysine naturally in our bodies, so getting the right amounts via our diet are essential. You can get your intake of lysine by eating foods such as fish, meat, dairy products like milk and cheese, eggs, soy and green vegetables. Lysine is used to treat cold sores, diabetes and boosting athletic performance, and can also be effective in reducing growth of the herpes virus.
