What Is Lysine?
Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own, making dietary or topical supplementation necessary. It plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, serving as a key building block in the collagen molecule's structure.
In skincare, lysine supports the skin's ability to produce and maintain healthy collagen. It also plays roles in calcium absorption and immune function, contributing to overall skin health.
