L-Lysine Hydrochloride is an essential amino acid commonly low in equine diets, supplying 78% elemental Lysine. Lysine plays a fundamental role in normal protein synthesis and is found in a wide variety of tissues, hormones, and cells throughout the body.
Lysine is a key component of myosin and other muscle proteins, and is required for the normal production of collagen and elastin proteins that make up bone matrix, tendons, skin, and articular cartilage. Keratin protein in the hoof and hair also requires lysine, making it an important amino acid for normal hoof and coat health.
