Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infections: L-lysine has been studied for its potential role in managing herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, including cold sores (oral herpes) and genital herpes. Some research suggests that L-lysine supplementation may help reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of herpes outbreaks by interfering with the replication of the virus. L-lysine may compete with another amino acid, arginine, for entry into cells, and high levels of L-lysine relative to arginine may inhibit viral replication. However, the evidence on the effectiveness of L-lysine for HSV infections is mixed, and more research is needed to confirm its efficacy.
Bone Health: L-lysine is involved in collagen synthesis, which is essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and connective tissues. It helps support bone mineralization and may play a role in preventing osteoporosis and reducing the risk of bone fractures. L-lysine supplementation may help improve bone density and bone strength, particularly when combined with other nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium.
Immune Function: L-lysine plays a role in immune function and may help support the body's defense against infections and diseases. It is involved in the production of antibodies, which are proteins that help identify and neutralize foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. L-lysine may also have anti-inflammatory effects and help modulate immune responses. L-lysine supplementation may be beneficial for individuals with compromised immune function or those at risk of infections.
Collagen Synthesis: L-lysine is a critical component of collagen, the most abundant protein in the body and a key structural protein in skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and other connective tissues. L-lysine is required for the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues in collagen synthesis, which stabilizes collagen molecules and contributes to the structural integrity and elasticity of connective tissues. L-lysine supplementation may help promote wound healing, support skin health, and reduce the signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin.
Anxiety and Stress: Some research suggests that L-lysine may have potential benefits for reducing anxiety and stress levels. L-lysine is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation and stress response. L-lysine supplementation may help increase serotonin levels in the brain, promoting a sense of calmness and well-being. It may also help modulate the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's stress response.
Carnitine Synthesis: L-lysine is involved in the synthesis of carnitine, a compound that plays a crucial role in fatty acid metabolism and energy production. Carnitine is required for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy. L-lysine supplementation may help support energy metabolism and physical performance, particularly during periods of increased energy demands such as exercise or recovery from illness.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
| Taxonomy | Rank | Effect | Citations | Notation |

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
