Lysine is one of the eight essential amino acids in the human body. As an amino acid, it is an essential component of protein. Protein plays an important role in the proper growth and development of the body.
Lysine cannot be naturally synthesized in the human body, it must be obtained through daily diet and nutritional supplements. It is called the first essential amino acid by scientists. Lysine is an important component of the key substance "growth hormone" that controls human growth, and plays an important role in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system of the human body.
It is an important part of the production of carnitine. Carnitine is responsible for converting some unsaturated fatty acids into energy and also helps to lower cholesterol levels. In the body lysine has other functions: together with other nutrients form collagen. Collagen plays an important role in connective tissue, bones, muscles, tendons and articular cartilage. In addition, lysine also helps the body absorb calcium.
1. Improves intelligence, promotes growth, and enhances physical fitness.
2. Increase appetite and improve malnutrition.
3. Improve insomnia and improve memory.
4. Helps produce antibodies, hormones and enzymes, improve immunity and increase hemoglobin.
5. Helps calcium absorption, treatment prevents osteoporosis.
6. Reduce blood triglyceride levels to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Symptoms of lysine deficiency include fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of appetite, stunted growth, and anemia.
It plays an important role in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Lysine is one of the precursors of peptide hormones and coenzymes. It can promote the metabolism of pyruvate in the body, further oxidize it to form acetyl-coenzyme A, which is conducive to the synthesis of acetylcholine in nerve tissue, promotes the metabolism of neurotransmitters and excites the nerve center, activates the function of the nerve center, and improves the level of intelligence.
Proper supplementation of lysine can promote the growth and development of children, while long-term lack of lysine will cause children to grow stagnant, react indifferently, look pale, have dry skin, loose muscles and reduced resistance, and in severe cases, it will also affect intellectual development!
