Nevertheless, people around the world are interested in both the risks and the benefits, and in knowing exactly what they are putting into their systems. So let us focus on l-lysine.

The Benefits of L-lysine

We’ll start with talking about the benefits of l-lysine supplementation. L-lysine supplementation can counter one of the most feared effects of old age, which is osteoporosis. Most of you probably already know that osteoporosis is, but who those who do not, osteoporosis is the result of the reduction in calcium density inside the bones in one’s old age. As one grows older, calcium is leached from the bones until ultimately the bones become some brittle that they break easily.

The most minor accident could result in serious fractures, and some people with advanced osteoporosis have even broken their ribs laughing. This is an extremely serious ailment, especially in older women, because children draw a lot of calcium from their mothers, first in the womb, and then later while breastfeeding.

How L-lysine benefits calcium supplementation

Now, there are other ways of increasing calcium density in the bones, firstly by calcium supplementation, and also by light weight training. However, calcium supplements alone will avail you nothing if the calcium is not properly absorbed by the body and by the bones themselves.

This is exactly where l-lysine comes in, because it helps to properly integrate calcium into the bones, and also facilitates the absorption of calcium by the walls of the stomach and the intestine.

L-lysine also has a number of other beneficial effects.

It has been known to lower levels of anxiety, as well as to lower blood sugar. It has also proved to be beneficial, especially when taken together with the other ingredients in Genf20 Plus, in enhancing muscle mass and reducing levels of excess weight. L-lysine also affects the way we experience pain, and has been extremely beneficial in reducing the effects of migraines, as well as y other painful issue that might affect a person. Instead of experiencing the pain as an unbearable condition, one experiences the pain as an indicator of an illness, and nothing more. L-lysine also considerably enhances one’s immunity, especially against herpes, and the cold sores that results from it. There are some indications that it can provide similar immunity against a host of viral infections. However, more research needs to be done in this area.

What about the side effects of L-lysine.

People are understandably concerned about the side effects that any ingredient of the supplement may pose, and Genf20 Plus is no exception. L-lysine has almost no incidence of any complications or side effects, and it is generally thought by many researchers to be due to the fact that l-lysine is one of the natural secretions of the body itself. However, it goes without saying that one cannot overdose upon any supplement, or indeed upon any substance. L-lysine is no exception to this rule, and when taken in reasonable dosages, is considered to be perfectly safe.
Extremely high doses of l-lysine should be avoided, because when present in extreme concentrations in the blood and in the urine, it can cause the formation of gallstones. However, it’s to be noted that it only occurs in extreme concentrations. Extreme concentrations have also shown some indication of being connected with Fanconi’s syndrome. Under an extreme overdose, renal failure can also occur. Generally speaking, as l-lysine affects the urinary system, or rather the blood filtration organs, if you’re suffering any ailment of the kidney, you should consult your doctor.

Similarly, if you suffer from any issues, connected with the liver, you should consult your doctor before taking the supplement. However, most researchers agree that all the indications are there that l-lysine is perfectly safe.
