Description
L-Lysine Powder 100g
Lysine is an amino acid found in the protein of foods such as beans, cheese,
yogurt, meat, milk, brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, and other animal proteins. Proteins
derived from grains such as wheat and corn tend to be low in lysine content.
The bioavailability of lysine is reduced with food preparation methods, such
as heating foods in the presence of a reducing sugar (ie, fructose or glucose);
heating foods in the presence of sucrose or yeast; and cooking in the absence of
moisture at high temperatures. The average 70 kg human requires 800 to 3,000 mg
of lysine daily.
Suggested uses
