Will taking lysine for a long time lead to precocious puberty?

Some parents always believe that taking lysine for a long time will lead to precocious puberty. In fact, this is not the case. Precocious puberty requires examination to determine what factors are causing it. Lysine is a very beneficial substance. It is an important substance for synthesizing protein. It can help children improve their immunity and physical fitness. Therefore, parents can use lysine with confidence, but they also need to follow the doctor's instructions.

What are the effects of taking lysine?

Protein is the main component of human cells, and amino acids are the basic substances for synthesizing protein. Lysine is a basic amino acid and one of the eight essential amino acids for the human body (physiologically necessary but the human body cannot synthesize it and must be obtained from food). It plays an important role in maintaining the nitrogen balance of the human body and is one of the important indicators for measuring the nutritional value of food. After the protein in food enters the human body, it is first broken down into amino acids after digestion. The human body uses these amino acids to synthesize new human proteins. Among various amino acids, lysine is the most important one. Without it, other amino acids will be restricted or cannot be utilized. Therefore, scientists call it the first essential amino acid for the human body. The latest research shows that lysine helps height growth and plays an important role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Lysine is a key substance that helps protein be fully absorbed and utilized by the human body. Supplementing with sufficient lysine can improve the absorption and utilization of protein, achieve balanced nutrition, and promote growth and development. Its main functions are:

1. Improve intelligence, promote growth, increase height and weight. Runfeng Jinkang

2. Increase appetite, enhance physical fitness and improve malnutrition.

3. Help produce antibodies, hormones and enzymes, increase hemoglobin, enhance immunity and reduce the chance of infection.

Children are in the growth and development period and should supplement lysine. At present, most of us take rice, flour and other cereal foods as our staple food. The lysine content in this type of food is the lowest. It is far from enough to get lysine from food alone every day, so additional supplementation is needed. The required dosage for adults, children, and infants (calculated per kilogram of body weight) is 12 mg, 60 mg, and 103 mg respectively. Roughly speaking, add 0.5 g per day for children under 7 years old and 1 gram per day for children over 7 years old. Adding 1 gram of lysine hydrochloride to food can increase 10 grams of available protein. If added to food or rice, noodles, flour, corn, it can be added at 0.2%-0.3% of the dry raw materials, that is, add 0.2-0.3 grams of lysine hydrochloride to 100 grams of rice, stir well and then eat. Or like MSG, you can add it directly to vegetable soup, milk, or take it with warm water after a meal. But two points should be noted: 1. Do not overheat after adding to food. 2. After adding it to food with high sugar content, it should not be left for a long time, and should be eaten immediately after adding it. Beans are rich in lysine, so cereals, corn and soybeans can also make up for the lack of lysine in protein. In daily diet, pay attention to the reasonable combination of food, so that the types and quantities of essential amino acids can complement each other, make them closer to the needs of the human body, and ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition.
