It is needed for proper growth and bone development in children; it helps calcium absorption and maintains a proper nitrogen balance in adults. This amino acid aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes and helps in collagen formation and tissue repair. Because it helps to build muscle protein, it is good for those recovering from surgery and sports injuries. It also lowers high serum triglyceride levels. It is also useful for fighting cold sores and herpes viruses. Taking supplemental L-Lysine with acidophilus and vitamin C can effectively fight and or prevent herpes outbreaks, especially if foods containing the amino acid arginine are avoided. L-lysine is an essential amino acid and cannot be manufactured in the body. Deficiencies can result in anemia, bloodshot eyes, enzyme disorders, hair loss, inability to concentrate, irritability, lack of energy, and weight loss.
