    L-Lysine, an essential amino acid which may alleviate and/or reduce the duration and severity of painful shingles or cold sore outbreaks.

    L-Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids in humans required for growth and tissue repair. Lysine is supplied by many foods, especially red meats, fish, and dairy products. L-Lysine seems to be active against herpes simplex viruses and may aid in the production of antibodies.

    Lysine may help to slow down or prevent the growth of the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), which is responsible for causing Cold Sores / Fever Blisters. HSV-1 requires Arginine, which is another Amino Acid, to grow and replicate. Lysine helps prevent the body from absorbing Arginine, making it difficult for HSV-1 to grow and replicate.

    • May alleviate the painful symptoms of shingles.
    • Possesses an anti-herpes effect.
    • Inhibits herpes.
    • Plays a natural role in building connective tissue and healing wounds.

     

    Suggested use: Take one tablet, three times a day for therapeutic use or one tablet daily for prophylactic use (as a preventative), or as directed by your Health Professional.

  • Genologix L-Glutamine - 120 VegCaps

    Genologix L-Glutamine – 120 VegCaps

    N$185.25

    L-Glutamine is a real gem, with fantastic fitness applications as well as great nootropic benefits, a real two-in-one.

    L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, serving as a protein building-block in our bodies, amongst many other critically important uses.

    L-Glutamine can raise human growth hormone (HGH) levels, lead to muscle gain, improved energy levels and an increase in resting metabolic rate. There is also evidence that it assists with reducing fatigue in-workout, and improving muscle recovery time after a workout. Long workouts have been shown to dramatically reduce levels in the body, making this a very useful post-exercise supplement.

    Our immune systems rely heavily on L-Glutamine as a critical fuel source for our immune cells. These include our intestinal cells, which use it during their normal growth and maintenance cycle. Our intestinal cells play a core role in our overall immune health

    As a nootropic, Glutamine is the main precursor to the excitatory neurotransmitters glutamate and aspartate, and the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. Optimal glutamate and GABA levels positively affect alertness, focus, mood and memory. When you balance L-Glutamine levels in your brain, you feel calm and have a reduction in cravings for sugar and alcohol.

     

    • Reduces workout fatigue
    • Improves workout recovery time
    • Increases muscle gain
    • Multiple nootropic benefits
    • Reduces cravings
    • Big contributor to overall immune health
