If you pay attention to your protein intake, you will sooner or later come across amino acids. L-lysine is one of them, and a special amino acid at that: your body doesn't produce it itself, so you have to get it through diet or a supplement. This tub contains 365 tablets of 1000 mg of L-Lysine HCL, a good supply for anyone looking to supplement specifically.
L-lysine is one of the building blocks your body uses to make proteins. This happens continuously in your muscles, skin, and connective tissue. But lysine does more than just participate in building. It is also a precursor to carnitine, a substance that transports fatty acids to the energy centers of your cells. What many don't know: in some diets, lysine is a so-called limiting amino acid. It can be the weakest link in your total protein intake, especially if you consume few animal products. Grains contain little of it, while meat, fish, and dairy products are rich in it. Lysine is also a basic amino acid that shares the same transport pathway in your cells as arginine, another well-known amino acid.
L-Lysine HCL is lysine bound to a hydrochloride. This sounds technical, but here's what it means: this bond makes the amino acid stable and easy to compress into a tablet. Very convenient. Part of the weight then corresponds to the hydrochloride salt, which is why the label states 1000 mg of L-Lysine HCL, of which approximately 800 mg is actual free lysine. With two tablets a day, you thus reach 1600 mg of free lysine, an amount that is well within the usual range for supplements. In your small intestine, lysine is absorbed via its own transport proteins, and the HCL form dissolves well, which generally makes this process smooth.
Do you eat plant-based or largely vegetarian? Lysine is precisely the amino acid that can be a bit low in your diet. Legumes provide some, but grains and nuts much less. By taking lysine separately, you supplement the amino acid profile of a plant-based meal. That's why this product is vegetarian certified. For athletes, it's different: during intense training, muscle tissue is broken down and rebuilt faster, and lysine, as a building block, is directly involved.
The ingredient list is short: L-Lysine HCL and microcrystalline cellulose as a filler. No flavors, no colors. With 365 tablets, at one tablet per day you have a year's supply; at two per day, you have more than six months' supply. The tablets are simply taken with water, without measuring powder or using a shaker. Each tablet has a score line, to divide it in half if that suits you better. For those who want to use L-lysine for a long time, such a large format reduces reorders and the price per dose.
L-lysine HCL from LUTO Supplements is a clear and targeted product. An amino acid, highly dosed, in a large tub, without frills. For those who know what lysine is and want to supplement it specifically, this is exactly what they need.
Two tablets provide 2000 mg L-Lysine HCL, of which 1600 mg is free L-lysine. This is well within the common range of supplementation.
L-Lysine HCL is stable, easy to dose in a tablet, and dissolves well in the stomach.
At one tablet a day, a year's supply; at two, more than six months. This avoids reordering.
Two ingredients, nothing more. No flavors or colors. The product is certified vegetarian.

L-lysine is an amino acid that your body does not produce itself, so you get it through diet or a supplement. It is mainly found in meat, fish, dairy products and legumes. In your body, it is incorporated into proteins and used as a precursor to carnitine.
L-lysine HCL is lysine bonded to a hydrochloride. This bond makes it stable and easy to work with in a tablet. Per gram, the HCL form contains slightly less free lysine: 1000 mg of L-lysine HCL is equivalent to approximately 800 mg of free lysine. Your body ultimately absorbs the same lysine.
The recommended dose is 2 tablets per day, which is 2000 mg of L-Lysine HCL or 1600 mg of free lysine. Common supplement doses range from 1000 to 2000 mg. Follow the packaging instructions and do not exceed the dose.
At two tablets a day, they will last you over six months; at one tablet, an entire year. Stored in a cool, dry place, they keep for a long time. A large pot reduces packaging and reordering.
In your small intestine, L-lysine is absorbed via transport proteins specific to this type of amino acid. From there, it enters your amino acid pool through the blood. The HCl form dissolves well in the stomach, so lysine is already freely available before it reaches the intestine.
Lysine is relatively rare in plant-based foods. Grains and nuts contain little of it, while animal products are rich in it. Lysine can therefore be the weakest link in your protein intake in a vegetarian diet. With a separate supplement, you can specifically address this.
