Lysine is an essential amino acid which means it partially makes up protein.
It is required to promote bone growth in children, helps maintain the correct nitrogen balance, maintains lean muscle mass, and helps in absorbing calcium.
It is used to produce enzymes, collagen, antibodies, and repairs tissue. It helps to build muscle protein, which is very useful for bodybuilders and people recovering from injuries and surgeries.
What If I Don’t Get Enough?
Like with many essential amino acids, it is rare to not get enough. This is because it is found in so many protein foods. So you have nothing to worry about if you getting enough protein.
The symptoms include :
# Anemia (A blood disorder)
# Lack of energy
# Weight Loss

Vegetarians and vegans eating grains as their only source of protein usually don’t get enough of this essential amino acid.
What If I Take Too Much?
It is unknown how much you have to take to take too much. Diarrhea and stomach cramps occur in high doses.
What Foods Contain It?
Some good sources of food that contain this essential amino acid are :
# Cheese
# Eggs
# Lima Beans
# Potatoes
# Milk
# Meat
Overview
I suggest taking supplements with all essential amino acids. Also add eggs to your diet as well because they contain high amounts of essential amino acids.
