L-Lysine 500 mg – Immune Support & Collagen Boost | Essential Amino Acid for Skin & Tissue Health | – 60 Capsules
L-Lysine 500 mg – Immune Support, Collagen, and Tissue Health
Mt. Angel Vitamins L-Lysine 500 mg is a clean, single ingredient amino acid supplement created to support healthy immune function, collagen production, and overall skin and tissue health. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that your body cannot make on its own, so it must come from food or supplements. For many people, diet alone does not reliably provide optimal lysine intake, especially during times of stress, recovery, or increased physical demand.
Each capsule delivers 500 mg of pure L-Lysine HCl in a non GMO, gluten free, dairy free, soy free formula that fits easily into a daily wellness routine.
Why L-Lysine 500 mg matters for immune support, skin, and collagen
L-Lysine plays several well established roles in human health. It is a key building block for proteins, supports healthy tissue repair, and is required for normal collagen formation in skin, tendons, and connective tissue. Research and expert overviews note that lysine is involved in hormone production, energy metabolism, calcium handling, and immune function, which is why it often appears in immune and recovery protocols.
- Essential amino acid for daily health: Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids that must be supplied by diet or supplementation.
- Collagen and skin support: L-Lysine is required for the normal formation of collagen, which helps maintain firm, resilient skin, healthy gums, and strong connective tissue.
- Immune and stress support: Clinical and educational resources highlight lysine’s importance for immune function and healthy stress response , making it a smart choice in an immune support stack.
- Bone and tissue recovery: Lysine supports normal calcium utilization and tissue repair, which is helpful during growth, physical training, or recovery.
Science backed perspective on L-Lysine
Modern reviews and clinical discussions describe lysine as a central player in protein synthesis, collagen formation, and immune system function. For example, an in depth review in 2024 summarized lysine’s role in growth, tissue repair, skin health, and immune support, while also reviewing its long history of safe use in dietary supplements at a wide range of doses.

How to use L-Lysine 500 mg
Follow the directions on the bottle or use as recommended by your healthcare provider. L-Lysine is often taken daily for foundational support of immune, collagen, and tissue health.

- Take with water, with or without food, based on personal comfort.
