NOW Foods L-Lysine, 500mg – 100 tablets

Each tablet in this 100-tablet pack delivers 500mg of L-Lysine, an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through food or supplementation. L-Lysine is naturally present in a range of protein-rich foods and plays a role in the body’s production of proteins, including collagen — the structural protein found in skin, tendons, and bone — as well as carnitine and various enzymes.

The tablets are unflavoured and straightforward to take, making them a sensible addition to the routine of those who may not consistently meet their lysine requirements through diet alone. This could include people following plant-based or low-meat diets, where lysine-rich animal proteins are less prevalent.

At 500mg per tablet across 100 tablets, the pack represents good value for those looking to supplement with a single, well-established amino acid in a simple, no-additives tablet format.
