L lysine

L-lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning it must be obtained from food or supplements. It contributes to protein synthesis and helps form structural cross-links within collagen.

• Scientific identity: L-Lysine; classification: Essential, cationic amino acid.
• How it works: Must come from the diet: Humans have no synthesis route, and it is the limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets. Absorbed by a shared transporter: It crosses the gut wall on the cationic amino-acid transporter, which it shares with arginine.
• Primary function: It supports normal protein formation, connective-tissue structure and the body's production of carnitine.
• What it supports: L-Lysine provides an essential protein-building block to support collagen structure, normal tissue maintenance and everyday recovery.
• Important consideration: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation.

CARPEDIEM selected L-Lysine for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It supports normal protein formation, connective-tissue structure and the body's production of carnitine.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM Hair Skin Nails.
• Works alongside: L-Lysine complements Copper to support a more coordinated functional-nutrition approach.
• Meaningful contribution: L-Lysine provides an essential protein-building block to support collagen structure, normal tissue maintenance and everyday recovery. Contributes to the structural cross-linking processes involved in collagen formation.
• Quality and scientific context: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
