Lysine help the hair to grow?

Lysine in an amino acid your body needs, but doesn’t produce. Foods and supplements provide lysine, which helps ensure proper physical growth, calcium absorption, energy production and hair health. One cause of hair loss, according to Jack Norris, a registered dietitian and co-author of “Vegans for Life,” is lysine deficiency. If you develop hair loss as a result of lysine deficiency, improving your intake can help stimulate hair growth. While most people reap enough lysine from foods, vegans who do not eat legumes and athletes are at heightened risk for deficiency. Top food sources include meat, cheese, cod, sardines, nuts, eggs and soybeans. Adults should aim for 12 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day.
