lysine

lysine plays a number of homeostatic, generative and regulatory roles in the body, but what i need to point out is that it is a precursor for carnitine, which i will likely need to supplement for, given that i am either removing red meat or reducing it severely. i have set very low rdis for carnitine (which exists in dairy, avocado & eggs, mostly, in my diet) based on data for actual absorption rates because excessive dietary carnitine is probably bad for cardiac health; even so, i'm likely going to struggle to meet those low requirements and will need to tap into lysine to make up for it. for the fruit bowl, that's not the issue (due to the avocados) that it is likely going to be in the other two bowls, but we'll have to see how it stabilizes, in the end.

lysine can also be catabolized to coA, providing yet another compliment to b5.

raspberry - ?. raspberries have very low amounts of amino acids, low enough that nobody bothered measuring it, or that it couldn't be measured. i have not been able to find data, but it's minimal across the board.
