Pharmacology and Toxicology of Lysine Hydrochloride Granules

Lysine (Lys) is an alkaline amino acid with two amino groups in its molecule. It is one of the essential amino acids for the human body and is particularly important among the eight essential amino acids for maintaining the body's nitrogen balance. It is one of the important indicators for measuring the nutritional value of food, especially during the developmental period of children, the recovery period after illness, and the pregnancy and lactation period, when the need for lysine is higher. Due to its low content in foods such as rice and corn, it is easily deficient in the human body and is called the "first deficient amino acid." Lysine deficiency can cause growth retardation, loss of appetite, weight loss, negative nitrogen balance, hypoproteinemia, dental maldevelopment, anemia, decreased enzyme activity and other physiological dysfunctions. Lysine is widely present in various proteins. Its content is relatively high in meat, eggs, milk and other proteins, about 7% to 9%, and as high as 13% in chicken egg protein.
