Some symptoms and signs of a Lysine Deficiency are Mood Changes, Fatigue, Poor Growth, Loss of Appetite, Hair Loss and Anemia.

Lysine is an essential amino acid that your body needs to maintain proper growth and development.

Adults should consume 12 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of lysine each day from supplements or food sources, which include red meat, potatoes, milk, fish, beans and certain soy-based products.

So make sure you get the proper amount of Lysine and if you think you have a Lysine Deficiency you should see your doctor because it can lead to serious health issues.
