Lysine is an antagonist of arginine. In the long term, it is beneficial to maintain their balance. The standard recommended dose is around 3 mg per 1 kg of body weight, raising the question of what constitutes a higher or high amount. Studies indicate that doubling the intake in healthy individuals over a shorter period (around 1 week) did not result in any detectable side effects. Therefore, do not hesitate to leverage the potential of this amino acid for therapeutic use, preferably in cycles, in order to avoid long-term disruption of amino acid balance.
