Does lysine supplementation (3000mg/day) cause nafld liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!: Lysine is an essential amino acid, a pure protein that has many health benefits. See http://www.md-health.com/L-Lysine-Benefits.html Very high doses may increase risk of gallstones but 3000 mg/day is unlikely to do this. There is no evidence Lysine causes NAFLD, in fact it likely is beneficial as it can lower blood sugar. The main cause of NAFLD is excess carbs. See http://tinyurl.com/jmyzvnr
