•AMINO ACIDS: Proteins are made from long chains of 20 smaller molecules known as amino acids. Working alongside other amino acids, lysine amino acid helps the body to build protein. Lysine, one of the essential amino acids, has an important role in the immune system. Not all amino acids are created equal. In fact the amino acid arginine can feed viruses, causing us to fall ill more easily when our immune system is low.

Lysine supplements such as this UKHealthHouse's lysine 1000mg tablet can help. Lysine has antiviral effects by blocking the activity of arginine. L-Lysine is Arginine’s arch enemy because it blocks Arginine activity. This process can help us to defend against illnesses such as ear infections.
