Amounts of L-lysine and L-arginine amino acids in foods

L-lysine amino acid nutrient rich foods - table of content. L-lysine vs. L-arginine composition and quantity ratios in food products.

100% (1.00) amount represents equal amounts of amino acids L-lysine and L-arginine (sometimes called also L-arganine) in a food. A number above the 100% (1.00) mark means the food contains higher amount of L-lysine, therefore it is richer in l-lysine content. In contrary, any number below the 100% (1.00) mark represents higher amount of L-arginine, comparing to lysine level within that food.

Look-up the Foods Database for food items with L - Arginine - R or Arg α-amino acid, and L - Lysine - K or Lys α-amino acid nutrients break-down either by Ascending or Descending list order.

Toggle: order of foods from lowest to highest L-lysine amount.
