FAQ
- What is the suggested use of the product?
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule three times daily, preferably one hour before a meal with an adequate supply of water to aid in absorption.
- Why would I want to take L-Lysine?
An essential building block for protein and the formation of collagen, which provides structure to your bones, muscles and skin, lysine can't be produced in your body on its own – you must get it from dietary sources or supplements.
Many individuals don't get enough lysine through food sources, so supplementation may be advisable for when you want extra support for your body's natural defenses.*
- Do I need to reduce arginine in my diet when taking L-Lysine?
Most people get more arginine from their diet than they do lysine. So, an arginine-restricted diet – and avoiding coffee or caffeine – may be advisable during occasional times to provide optimal support to your immune system against threats.
For everyday use, an arginine-restricted diet isn't necessary when taking L-Lysine, as simply supplementing with L-Lysine provides your body with the extra immune support it may need for routine care.*
- Is it safe to consume while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
