Meanwhile, Phenylalanine improves your memory and your skin and Methionine has a protective effect on liver cells against poisoning. Finally, lysine helps increase calcium absorption, metabolism, and other nutrients in the body. Especially, it is produced for the appropriateness of children’s taste and it also fortifies the comprehensive development of children.
