How L-lysine Extra works
L-lysine is an essential amino acid and an important building block of immune cells. It occurs naturally mainly in meat and hard cheeses, which is why it is often sought out by vegetarians and vegans. In the capsule, it is complemented by Echinacea purpurea extract and vitamin B6, which contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system.

Frequently asked questions
What is L-lysine?+
L-lysine is an essential amino acid – the body cannot produce it on its own, so we must obtain it through food or dietary supplements. It is a building block of proteins and contributes to the production of hormones, enzymes, antibodies and immune cells.
Why do vegans and vegetarians seek out L-lysine?+
L-lysine occurs naturally mainly in animal foods, such as meat and hard cheeses. Intake is often lower on a plant-based diet, so supplementation in the form of a 100 % vegan capsule is a practical solution.
What does one capsule contain?+
One capsule contains 350 mg of L-lysine, 40 mg of Echinacea purpurea extract and 10 mg of vitamin B6 (714 % of the nutrient reference value).
How should I take L-lysine Extra?+
The recommended dosage is 1 – 4 capsules daily on an empty stomach. Take the capsule with plenty of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Why take the capsules on an empty stomach?+
During absorption, L-lysine shares transport pathways with other amino acids from food. Taking it on an empty stomach, with plenty of water, is therefore preferable to taking it with a substantial meal.
What is the difference between L-lysine and echinacea?+
L-lysine is an amino acid – a building block of proteins, antibodies and immune cells. Echinacea purpurea is a plant whose extract has a beneficial effect on the body's natural defences. In L-lysine Extra, their effects are complemented by vitamin B6.
Can I take L-lysine Extra if I am prone to herpes?+
A slight tingling or discomfort on the lips may indicate a weakened immune system, which can lead to a herpes infection. L-lysine Extra contributes to strengthening the immune system. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, consult a doctor.
Is L-lysine Extra suitable for children?+
Yes, it is suitable for children aged 8 and over. It is not intended for children under 8 years of age. We recommend consulting a doctor or pharmacist about dosage for children.
Is it suitable for vegans and people with coeliac disease or diabetes?+
Yes. L-lysine Extra is 100 % vegan, gluten free, lactose free, soy free and also suitable for people with diabetes.
Can I combine L-lysine Extra with other supplements?+
Generally, yes, but monitor your total vitamin B6 intake from all the supplements you take. If you take medication, have an autoimmune disease or are allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family, consult a doctor before use.
