Lysine has a net positive charge, which makes it one of the three basic (by charge) amino acids. Lysine plays a role in the production of antibodies and lowers triglyceride levels. Lysine is needed for proper growth and bone development in children and to maintain a proper nitrogen balance in adults. Lysine helps in the absorption and conservation of calcium and plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a component of cartilage and connective tissue.
