Scitec Lysine 90 Capsules

One container of Scitec Nutrition Lysine 90 Capsules contains 90 capsules.
Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the human body cannot produce it and it must be obtained through food or supplements. It is a physiological building block for proteins in the body and is present in large quantities in muscle tissue.
Lysine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, which is essential for tissue growth, repair, and maintenance. A deficiency in lysine can impair protein synthesis. Furthermore, lysine is important for the formation of collagen, a key structural protein in skin, bones, and connective tissue, and promotes collagen cross-linking, resulting in strong connective tissue. It also supports immune function by promoting the production of antibodies necessary to fight infections. Lysine can also improve calcium absorption in the intestines and reduce calcium excretion, contributing to bone health.

Scitec Nutrition Lysine capsules are recommended to be taken three times daily with a glass of water before meals. An alternative dosage recommendation is to take one capsule three times daily before training, before a meal on an empty stomach, or before bedtime. There are no specific warnings for particular groups of people beyond the general recommendations for dietary supplements, such as keeping the product out of the reach of children. However, it is generally advised that dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle and are not recommended for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women. Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or who are taking medication should also exercise caution.

L-lysine plays a fundamental role in the body's own synthesis of L-carnitine, as it is one of the two necessary protein building blocks for its production. The body synthesizes L-carnitine in the liver and kidneys from the essential amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine, with L-lysine serving as the starting material for the incorporation of specific groups that ultimately lead to the formation of the active carnitine molecule. Sufficient availability of L-lysine is therefore a limiting factor for the body's own carnitine production. With regard to the product Scitec Lysine, supplementation contributes to meeting the daily lysine requirement, which can ensure the capacity for this biosynthesis. The additional support for the absorption of minerals such as calcium and iron is based on L-lysine's chemical property of forming chelate complexes with these divalent cations. This complex formation increases the bioavailability of these minerals in the gastrointestinal tract, which, particularly in the case of calcium, leads to improved intestinal absorption and can promote the effectiveness of mineral absorption from food by taking Scitec Lysine capsules.

People following a purely plant-based diet benefit from supplementation, as lysine is an essential amino acid found primarily in meat and eggs and is often present in lower amounts in a vegan diet. However, the capsule shell of Scitec Nutrition Lysine capsules is made from bovine gelatin and is therefore not vegan, while the active ingredient itself contains no animal-derived components.
