lysine

Vyvanse is d-amphetmine bound to lysine, turning it into a prodrug (which means your gut chemically cleaves off the lysine and, conveniently, you're left with d-amp sitting in your gut).

A person will eventually starve from lysine deficiency if they eat nothing but wheat, rice, millet, most grains really.

Rice protein is high in the sulfur-containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine, but low in lysine.

My understanding is that rice protein comes up short with the amount of Lysine present.

Not sure if Lysine shows up in other ingredients at high enough levels to compensate.

I've seen enough information that I believe it's worth noting glycine and lysine and tryptophan intake for this reason.

Beans are full of lysine and, for ovo-lacto vegetarians, so are eggs.

There's a nutritional reason why pea protein should have been there - by taking out their lysine source, Soylent just got nutritionally less complete.

I don't recall anyone being up in arms at the time about how the prosecutors didn't fully understand the lysine industry.

Based on wikipedia`ing [1] it, Lysine is produced exlusivly in plants.

It's essentially dexedrine with a lysine attached (new side group=new patent).

That might be why bread and rice is so often paired with beans; beans are rich in lysine and the combination covers all the bases.

You therefore get "complete protein" up to the amount of lysine available.

When I saw this it immediately reminded me of the "lysine contingency" from Jurassic Park, where they genetically alter the dinosaurs to be dependent on lysine supplements to prevent their ability to survive outside the park.

Lysine gets clobbered by the Maillard reactions.
