1. lysine

   Lysine is an essential amino acid that is crucial for human health but cannot be produced naturally by the body. It must be consumed through diet. Lysine aids in protein synthesis, hormone production, immune function, and the absorption of calcium. It can be commonly found in foods such as meat, eggs, soy, and legumes. Lysine is often used in supplements to prevent or treat cold sores and improve athletic performance, although scientific research on these uses is not conclusive.

1. Lysine

   Lysine is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(CH2)4NH2. It is an essential amino acid for humans. Lysine's codons are AAA and AAG. Lysine is a base, as are arginine and histidine. The ε-amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding and as a general base in catalysis. Common posttranslational modifications include methylation of the ε-amino group, giving methyl-, dimethyl-, and trimethyllysine. The latter occurs in calmodulin. Other posttranslational modifications at lysine residues include acetylation and ubiquitination. Collagen contains hydroxylysine, which is derived from lysine by lysyl hydroxylase. O-Glycosylation of hydroxylysine residues in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus is used to mark certain proteins for secretion from the cell.

   I realize they’re different, but I tried it anyway given that it appears to be safe and that other preventative measures haven’t worked for me, i seem far more prone to cankers sores when I’m really stressed or sick, so I’m extra vigilant about lysine supplementation at those times. And for me, it appears to be effective.
