One Nutrition L-Lysine

L-lysine monohydrochloride, in a 60-capsule jar. Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids. Essential, in nutrition, has a specific meaning: the body has no way of making it, so the entire supply has to come from what you eat. Where lysine comes from in the diet Lysine is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy. Among plant foods it is most concentrated in legumes — beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas and soy. Cereal grains are comparatively low in it. That is why lysine is the amino acid most often discussed in relation to grain-based and plant-based diets, and why it is the one people ask about when they are eating less meat. What’s in the capsule L-lysine monohydrochloride. How to take Take 1–2 capsules per day with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
