Main Applications
L-Lysine is a basic essential amino acid that cannot be synthesised by the body and must be obtained from the diet. It is indispensable for protein synthesis and plays an important role in growth, tissue repair and muscle maintenance; it also supports calcium absorption and serves as a precursor in the biosynthesis of carnitine, thereby contributing to fatty acid metabolism. These functions underpin its utilisation in sports nutrition products aimed at growth support and muscle repair. In animal nutrition, L-Lysine is one of the highest-volume feed-grade amino acids in animal nutrition
