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