This dietary supplement is a quality product. . It blends easily into smoothies as well as Kozy Shack's tapioca pudding that I love so much. I recently had a respiratory infection that caused rosacea (PR), a viral rash. Medicine knows little about PR except that it is viral (non-infectious) and goes away on its own, usually in 6-12 weeks (but can take much longer - years). They think it might be related to the varicella zoster virus. The reason I bought this product is to try to relieve the intense itching of a PR rash as L-lysine acts on the herpes virus associated with chicken pox, shingles etc. Lysine appears to prevent the growth of the herpes simplex virus. Once I think I have it under control (itching bearable) I seem to relapse so I don't know if it's wishful thinking or common sense as I've only taken two doses of L-lysine that I've had one feel some relief. Some additional benefits of taking L-lysine that most people can benefit from include: (1) Cholesterol management. In the liver, L-lysine is converted into carnitine, which helps the body burn fat. Because of this ability to burn fat, studies have shown that dietary lysine can lead to lower LDL (or bad) cholesterol levels. (2) bone health. Everyone knows that calcium is crucial for strong bones. L-lysine helps the body absorb calcium and reduces calcium excretion. Some studies also show that L-lysine can increase the activity of cells that build bone and collagen. Reducing calcium loss and increasing bone building activity can slow down age-related bone loss. (3) Prevention of herpes. L-lysine can act as an antiviral by blocking the production of the herpes simplex virus. Studies show that a lysine-rich diet (or taking a lysine supplement) can prevent genital herpes outbreaks and herpes virus-related outbreaks, although it does not cure the virus. L-lysine may also help cold sores heal faster. (4) Correct height. L-lysine is one of the main components of proteins. Hence, it is crucial for proper body growth, especially in children. Because it helps your body absorb calcium, L-lysine is also crucial for the growth of bones and other tissues. Low lysine levels can lead to stunted growth due to protein deficiency. (5) Reduced anxiety and stress. In 2004, the National Academy of Sciences reported that lysine supplements could reduce stress and anxiety in a population that eats very few L-lysine-rich foods. (6) Redemption from pebbles. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox in children. Shingles causes a painful rash in adults, usually located on one side of the body along one of the major spinal nerves. Although L-lysine is not a cure for shingles, it may help reduce the duration or intensity of the condition. (7) Pain Relief: Studies are ongoing to determine if L-lysine acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. If this happens, you may be able to relieve pain with an adequate intake of this amino acid. (8) heart health. Finally, L-lysine may be effective in reducing some of the symptoms associated with angina. Although the mechanism of action is unknown, lysine appears to have some effect when combined with vitamin C.
