Need Lysine

[Source]

Ok so i eat a pretty balanced diet, but my hair is thinning a bit and I've narrowed it down to lack of Lysine as the cause. I have every other nutrient, vitamin, and essential amino acid in my diet except for Lysine.

I keep searching for lysine rich foods and all i find are animal products with like 5000 mg/oz with the occasional fruit or something with like 50 mg/oz.


I need Lysine, can someone suggest to me a good vegan source that I can get my daily value's worth from?

Hi, have you seen the list of lysine sources on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine ? Quite a few legumes on it - am I missing something?

To state the obvious perhaps, hair loss isn't necessarily diet-related: I think genes and hormones have a lot to do with it.

Hi Source,
have you tried to Google vegan lysine sources?

By goodness, had I known about lysine earlier ... now you tell me that's why my hairline is receding...

Best regards,

Yes, I think Mr Harpy would have liked to have known about it too - 30 years ago

It looks like it's all about the legumes

That's just crazy talk!
