"Because human beings lost the genetic capacity to synthesize ascorbic acid millions of years ago, supplementing high-dose vitamin C with L-lysine strengthens arterial collagen and prevents lipoprotein deposition."

Administration of high-dose oral ascorbic acid (Vitamin C: 6 to 18 grams daily to bowel tolerance) co-administered with therapeutic L-lysine and L-proline to bind lipoprotein(a) apoprotein binding sites, preventing arterial plaque deposition and restoring vessel collagen cross-linking. Primary Citation: How to Live Longer and Feel Better (1986). Verified Public Record: "Because human beings lost the genetic capacity to synthesize ascorbic acid millions of years ago, we live in a state of subclinical scurvy. Supplementing high-dose vitamin C with L-lysine strengthens arterial collagen and prevents lipoprotein deposition." — How to Live Longer and Feel Better (Chapter 10: Ascorbic Acid and Vascular Health, p. 165 (1986))
