From a cellular, epigenetic level, there isn’t anybody who couldn’t benefit from Lysine C. With the body’s inability to produce vitamin C like animals, its consumption is pivotal for meeting daily requirements.
COLLAGEN PRODUCTION and CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
One of Vitamin C and Lysine’s main functions in the body is their role in manufacturing collagen. Without enough vitamin C the body cannot manufacture healthy, normal quantities of collagen. Collagen is like the glue that holds cells together, including heart cells (just like mortar is needed for bricks).
With vitamin C’s ability to build collagen, it is crucial for cardiovascular health by supporting healthy endothelial lining of the heart vessels and heart tissues. Coronary arteries closest to the heart receive the greatest pressure, and without enough Vitamin C, the collagen weakens, which impacts heart health.
Adequate levels of lysine in the body are critical for supporting normal levels of plaque in the arteries, and for promoting healthy vessels of the heart.
Vitamin C also helps the body make CoQ10, a nutrient also important for heart health.
Healthy collagen levels also support healthy teeth, gums, cartilage, bones, skin, connective tissue, and wound healing.
IMMUNE HEALTH:
For immune health, the Lysine and
vitamin C combination promotes immune function and provides support for the normal healing of sores and wounds.
INNATE RESISTANCE TO PATHOGENS:
It’s thought lysine blocks another amino acid called arginine, which therefore supports lip health. Lysine supplements influence the immune system by supporting the body’s innate resistance to pathogens.
