Is there a difference between "lysine" and L-lysine"?

Lysine refers to a racemic mixture of both L- (levorotatory) and D- (dextrorotatory) enantiomers of the parent compound, Lysine in this case. Our bodies use only the L- enantiomer for metabolic processes therefore rendering any intake of the D- enantimer useless.

so if I understand this correctly, "Lysine" contains both "L-lysine" and "D-lysine". When we take in "Lysine", our bodies use the "L-lysine" part but not the "D-lysine" part?
