What is lysine?

Lysine is an essential amino acid that performs various functions in the body and is involved in various metabolic processes, e.g. in the biosynthesis of collagen or carnitine.

What are amino acids and what are they needed for?

Our bodies are made up of almost one-fifth protein, which performs vital functions. Proteins contribute to muscle growth and the maintenance of healthy bones. Therefore, proteins and amino acids must be regularly consumed through our diet. Athletes and people going through growth phases require more amino acids.

A distinction is made between essential and non-essential amino acids. The body requires all essential amino acids, but cannot synthesize them itself; therefore, they must be regularly ingested through food.

In which foods is lysine found?

Meat and fish such as pork, beef, and tuna are considered particularly rich in lysine. Other animal protein sources like eggs and cheese also contain lysine. Plant-based sources of lysine include legumes such as lentils and soybeans, as well as peanuts. Other plant proteins contain little lysine, so it can be difficult to get enough lysine on a vegan diet.

What ingredients are contained in bio-apo L-Lysine plus?

Bio-apo L-Lysine plus contains 500 mg of L-lysine and 40 mg of vitamin C per daily dose (1 capsule). Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, teeth, and cartilage.

Why L-shape?

These capsules contain lysine in its naturally occurring L-form. Amino acid supplements should be administered in this form, as the body can absorb it more effectively.

Is bio-apo L-Lysine plus suitable for vegans?

Thanks to its vegan formula, bio-apo L-Lysine plus is very suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule is made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.

L-lysine requirement

The requirement depends on body weight. For adults, the requirement is approximately 10 mg per kilogram of body weight. Children during growth phases have a much higher requirement; a 10-year-old child should consume approximately 44 mg per kg of body weight through their diet.

Taking L-lysine

It is best to take L-lysine on an empty stomach and not in combination with other amino acids.

Side effects of L-lysine

No side effects are known at a dosage of 1 to 3 g of L-lysine per day in healthy adults. However, side effects cannot be completely ruled out.
