NutriStack
Collagen Peptides and L-Lysine, a synergy.
Lysine is a key amino acid in collagen and, in its hydroxylated form, is required for the cross-links that give collagen tensile strength, complementing collagen peptide supplementation.

Synergy
What is happening. Lysine is a key amino acid in collagen and, in its hydroxylated form, is required for the cross-links that give collagen tensile strength, complementing collagen peptide supplementation.
Mechanism. Lysine residues in collagen are enzymatically hydroxylated to hydroxylysine and then cross-linked, a process essential for mature collagen fiber stability, so lysine availability supports collagen matrix formation.
Recommendation. Can be taken together to support collagen-related goals; ensure adequate vitamin C as well for the hydroxylation step.
