About this ingredient
L-Lysine HCl (L-Lysine Hydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt form of the essential amino acid L-Lysine. Lysine is required for normal protein synthesis and contributes to several biological processes, including collagen-related protein formation and carnitine metabolism.
L-Lysine HCl is commonly used in capsules, tablets, powders, amino-acid blends, nutritional products and sports-nutrition formulations. Because it is a salt form, the molecular weight differs from free L-Lysine, so product labels should specify the actual amount of L-Lysine provided.
