Your nutrient deficiencies play a contributing role in your nutritional health and wellbeing.
Discovering where you are lacking nutrients is the first step to getting your energy and health on track. You can then choose the right diet and supplements to support your everyday health. Lysine, for one, is a nutrient that has been linked with deficiency concerns.
What is lysine?
Lysine is a building block for protein - an essential amino acid, which means that your body cannot make it and therefore you need to obtain it through food and supplementation.
How can lysine help?
Although associated with skin health, bone and connective tissue support, this essential protein plays a significant role in building your immune system and is used extensively in lip care and support. While a combination of lifestyle stress and ongoing busyness also plays a contributing factor in both skin and immune health, it is comforting to know that nutrients like lysine can support your overall immune health and wellbeing.
What else does lysine do?
Lysine can help absorb calcium into the body and plays an important role in the formation of collagen, for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendons, and cartilage. It does so much more than just support healthy immune system function.
How can I get more lysine?
A rundown immune system can impact lip health and this can be a source of embarrassment. To support those with lip health concerns from the inside and outside, here are two lysine products:
Good Health Viralex Lysine tablets offer a combination formula, providing the immune benefits of both lysine and olive leaf extract for extra support. Lysine supports your immune system, while olive leaf provides an antioxidant benefit to naturally boost immune defences and support your recovery process.
Viralex Lysine ointment is a nourishing treatment for lip health. Using a formulation of potent herbs, combined with lysine and zinc and in a base of beeswax, shea butter and lanolin, it naturally protects and soothes dry and cracked lips.
Always read the label and take as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. Good Health, Auckland. TAPSPP8163.
