What is L-Lysine Aescinat?
L-Lysine Aescinat is an essential amino acid. Essential means that it is not produced by the body and therefore it must be taken in either by diet or by taking supplements. L-Lysine Aescinat is found in foods such as lentils, red meat, pork, poultry, cod fish, sardines, nuts, eggs, soy beans, brewer's yeast, and dairy products.
L-Lysine Aescinat has been used in alternative medicine as an aid to prevent cold sores around the mouth (caused by the herpes simplex virus). This product may make cold sores occur less often and may reduce the number of days a cold sore lasts. L-Lysine Aescinat is not a cure for herpes.
Other uses for L-Lysine Aescinat include treating metabolic acidosis, improving athletic performance, and helping the body absorb calcium supplements.
Not all uses for L-Lysine Aescinat have been approved by the FDA. L-Lysine Aescinat should not be used in place of medication prescribed for you by your doctor.
L-Lysine Aescinat is often sold as an herbal supplement. There are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for many herbal compounds and some marketed supplements have been found to be contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.

L-Lysine Aescinat description
L-L-Lysine Aescinat (abbreviated as Lys or K) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)(CH2)4NH2. This amino acid is an essential amino acid, which means that humans cannot synthesize it. Its codons are AAA and AAG. L-L-Lysine Aescinat 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 include acetylation. Collagen contains hydroxylysine which is derived from L-Lysine Aescinat by lysyl hydroxylase. O-Glycosylation of L-Lysine Aescinat residues in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus is used to mark certain proteins for secretion from the cell.
