L Lysine is chemically known as 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid. Lysine is an essential amino acid. Since the content of lysine in cereals is very low, and it is easily destroyed during processing, it is called the first limiting amino acid.
Lysine is one of the essential amino acids for humans and mammals. It cannot be synthesised by the body itself and must be supplemented from food. Lysine is mainly found in animal foods and legumes, and the lysine content in cereals is very low. [2] Lysine has positive nutritional significance in promoting human growth and development, enhancing immunity, anti-virus, promoting fat oxidation, and alleviating anxiety, etc. It also promotes the absorption of certain nutrients, and can work synergistically with some nutrients, so as to better fulfil the physiological functions of various nutrients.
Xi'an Huawave Biotech Co., Ltd. is a professional L-Lysine manufacturer and L-Lysine supplier . We are committed to providing customers with professional research and development, production and sales, as well as OEM and ODM processing services.
     
Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that the human body cannot synthesise lysine on its own and must obtain it through the diet. Lysine performs a number of important physiological functions in the human body and has a wide range of applications in medicine, nutrition and the food industry. Below are some of the main effects and applications of lysine:
Effects:
Protein synthesis: Lysine is one of the basic components of protein and is very important for the growth and development of the body.
Calcium absorption and bone health: Lysine helps to promote calcium absorption, which is useful for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis.
Immune function: Lysine may be helpful in maintaining the normal functioning of the immune system.
Antiviral: Studies have shown that lysine may help reduce the incidence and severity of herpes simplex virus infections, such as herpes orofacialis.
Collagen synthesis: Lysine is one of the key components of collagen synthesis, which is important for the health of connective tissues such as skin, tendons and ligaments.
Food Industry:
Used as a food additive to fortify infant formula, special dietary products, etc.
Used in the production of functional foods or supplements to meet the needs of specific groups of people, such as athletes, the elderly or people recovering from illness.
Pharmaceutical industry:
Used as a pharmaceutical ingredient in the treatment of certain diseases, such as malnutrition or disorders of amino acid metabolism.
Used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals to help improve the stability and absorption efficiency of drugs.
Nutraceuticals:
To make health care products, especially for specific groups such as immunity deficiency, children during growth and development, and the elderly.
Used as nutritional supplements to enhance physical fitness or to assist in the treatment of some diseases.
Animal feed:
Lysine is also widely used in livestock and poultry feeds to improve the growth rate and meat quality of animals.
