Re: L-lysine/l-arginine combo.This stuff works!!

Hello Ellalouise,

Thanks a lot for sharing. I am very much interested in this protocol, but do have some questions to which I'm not able to find the answers. Perhaps you would be willing to share your thoughts on the following?;

1) It indeed seems the 'L-lysine/L-arginine'-combo is what is usually recommended (as opposed to taking solely L-lysine OR L-arginine). However, anxiety is apparently related to L-lysine deficiency. Why shouldn't one just supplement on L-lysine then? (This confuses me the most..)

2) Looking at the foods that are high in L-lysine and those that are high in L-arginine it seems rather unlikely one would develop some kind of deficiency in either one. (I know at least for myself that I am consuming a lot of foods on both ends of the spectrum; and even if I would be deficient in any, it would more likely be L-arginine than L-lysine.. ~since I largely avoid wheat and gluten. Still, I do experience quite some anxiety/stress issues)
What could be the reason that people develop a deficiency/imbalance in these amino acids?

3) Any thoughts on side-effects and possible long-term negative effects?

Looking forward to your thoughts :-) Tweet
