NOW Foods L-Lysine, 1000mg – 100 tablets

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid — one the body cannot produce on its own, making dietary intake or supplementation the only way to obtain it. Each tablet delivers 1000mg of L-Lysine, derived from 1270mg of L-Lysine Hydrochloride, in a straightforward one-tablet daily format. The 100-tablet pack provides a generous supply for those looking to keep this amino acid consistently in their routine.

As an essential building block, L-Lysine plays a role in the body’s natural production of proteins, including collagen — the structural component found in skin, tendons, and bone — as well as carnitine and various enzymes. It is also involved in calcium metabolism, making it a well-regarded ingredient in sports nutrition and general wellness circles.

These tablets are well suited to those following plant-based or low-protein diets, where lysine intake from food alone may be limited, as well as athletes and active individuals who want to ensure their amino acid intake is well covered. Compact and easy to store, the format requires no mixing or preparation.
