Lysine – An Important Amino Acid Lysine is an amino acid. In the body, amino acids are critical since they form proteins that are the building blocks of many body tissues including muscles. Lysine is needed for tissue repair and growth, and is utilized in the production of antibodies, enzymes and hormones.

Too little lysine in the diet may exhibit itself in kidney stones. You may also develop fatigue, nausea, dizziness, anemia and reproductive disorders. Lysine aids in the improved absorption of calcium and lessens the loss of calcium through the urine. Because of this, some researchers think it may be beneficial in preventing osteoporosis.
