General Statements: All Other Content

L-lysine is an essential free-form amino acid, which acts as a precursor for other amino acids, including L-carnitine (needed for fat metabolism). L-lysine is crucial to the formation of collagen, a major part of the body's connective tissues. L-lysine also contributes to energy production when converted to acetyl coenzyme A, one of the principle fuels for the Krebs Cycle.
