NOW Foods L-Lysine 500 mg – 250 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods L-Lysine 500 mg provides a pharmaceutical-grade essential amino acid in convenient vegetable capsules, in a value-size bottle built for a consistent daily routine. Because the body cannot produce lysine, it must be obtained through food or supplementation. Each capsule supplies 500 mg of L-Lysine from 637 mg of L-Lysine hydrochloride to support protein production, collagen synthesis, and healthy immune system function. L-Lysine is required for maintaining collagen and elastin, important structural proteins found throughout connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones. It also serves as a precursor to carnitine, a compound involved in normal fat metabolism and cellular energy production, and it helps maintain cardiovascular wellness as part of a balanced lifestyle. Each bottle contains 250 vegetable capsules and provides 250 servings, making this a value-focused choice for long-term amino acid support. The formula is vegan, vegetarian, non-GMO, halal, and kosher, and is also dairy free, egg free, soy free, nut free, and made without gluten.
