Lysine causes kidney problems?

Post Number:#1  Post by bluemustang » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:29 am

This website says that Lysine side effects can cause renalliver failure and kidney inflammation, is that true?

https://www.rxlist.com/consumer_lysine/ ... _of_lysine
https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingre ... 237/lysine - reports kidney disease in a report linked to lysine supplemental use.

please help thanks

no
Ive used lysine and eggwhites for 20 years
why would protein hurt normal functioningkidneys?


A common criticism of high protein intakes/diets is the concern that they are damaging to the kidneys. This belief seems to stem from the fact that, in individuals with preexisting kidney damage, protein intake often has to be reduced to prevent further development of the disease. Incorrectly, this has been turned around to suggest that high-protein intakes are damaging to the kidneys (1).

There is at best a weak case to be made for a risk of high protein intakes on kidney function; quite in fact, some research suggesting a beneficial effect of higher protein intakes on kidney function (2). Simply put, the adaptations to kidney function that are often cited as indicating ‘strain’ or damage are more likely to simply be normal adaptive effects of varying protein intake (1)

Isnt Lysine an amino acid not a protein? Thanks for the reply, I want to add it to the sodium ascorbate, but all this stuff is scary when you want to take it, then all you see for side effects is that "kidney renal failure is a side effect, liver problems.. etc"..

Proteins are composed of amino acids. Your body breaks down the proteins you eat into amino acids during digestion. Your body then builds human proteins (e.g. collagen) inside our cells from the amino acids. If you simply eat amino acids, you avoid the digestive process (and any issues there.)

As far as being scary, I hope you are kidding. There are no lethal dosages for vitamin C, and I'm not sure about lysine, but you probably cannot kill a lab animal with high amounts of either nutrient. Vitamin C is safer than water at high dosages.

On the other side of the coin, heart disease, cardiovascular disease, is the leading cause of death in the United States. That seems pretty scary to me, unless you don't mind having your chest cut open and replacing your heart arteries with veins from your legs.

In my experience, most renal/kidney problems are due to medications - toximolecular substances that the kidneys are not familiar with and cause damage. The drug companies would love to blame this toxicity on orthomolecular substances, such as vitamin C and lysine, but our experience doesn't support this idea. If you are taking medications, even OTC NSAIDS, you risk damaging your kidneys (and livers).
