Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid that supports immune health and plays a key role in protein and collagen production. Found in foods such as meat, fish, dairy, and legumes, lysine is important for skin and bone health. It aids in wound healing, calcium absorption, and overall growth. Maintaining adequate lysine levels is vital for strong immunity, healthy skin, bone strength, and overall well-being.
