Unlocking the Secrets of L-Lysine for a Healthy Lifestyle

9. Supports Gut Function

The anti-inflammatory properties of lysine are especially helpful in regulating the digestive system and reducing the effects of leaky gut, characterized by an increased intestinal permeability; it is a digestive condition in which bacteria and food particles "leak" through the intestinal wall. This causes food sensitivities, low energy, joint pain, autoimmune diseases, and thyroid disease. A specific form of lysine, poly-L-lysine, has specific anti-inflammatory effects on the lining of the stomach and intestines. Regular consumption can ease the inflammation from leaky gut and other conditions such as IBS.
