    GlossaryL-Lysine (Lys)

    essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and tissue repair

    L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it and it must be obtained through diet. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, tissue repair, and the production of hormones and enzymes. For hair health, L-Lysine is important because it helps in the absorption of calcium and the formation of collagen, which can strengthen hair and potentially reduce hair loss.
