Lysine is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of protein amino acids. For humans, lysine is an exogenous amino acid, meaning it must be supplied with food as part of a properly balanced diet, as the human body is unable to synthesize it on its own. Rich sources of lysine include, but are not limited to: fatty fish (eg halibut, salmon, cod, mackerel, tuna, sardines, herring), eggs, yellow cheese and cottage cheese, dairy products, red meat and poultry (chicken and turkey), liver and soy products. It is also present in cocoa, wholemeal bread, almonds, buckwheat, green peas, red beans, parsley and sesame.

Swanson AjiPure L-lysine 500 mg dietary supplement packaging contains 90 vegetarian capsules, which are sufficient for up to 90 days of recommended adult supplementation.
