NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Overall health

We have used L-Lysine for years at the first tingling of an on coming canker soar I take 2 or 3 and never come to a full soar, if I dont catch it right away it starts then gotta keep after the L-Lysine for a couple of days till its goes away it is also very good for your skin I am 72 and I get lots of compliments on my skin.

I was surprised when the Doctor suggested this supplement for small flat bumps that were appearing on my fingers. This doesnt seem like the primary use of this supplement. But one a day has kept the bumps away. Buying through Amazon has meant I could buy in quality and got me the best price.

I take 3 pills 3x/day per Girondas advice for nitrogen retention. Ive noticed better pumps in the gym and all around better vascularity. On workout days I take 3 pills pre workout with my protein and maltodextrin shake and 3 pills after with my whole meal. Ive noticed this also helps with blood sugar control and hunger. Im not as ravenous throughout the day and my workouts have been getting tougher with a higher intensity threshold. Its a cheap supplement, so I definitely recommend it to add it your arsenal.

I take the powderout of the capsules and add one to each of my cats dinner dishes, then mix it with the food. My vet advised me to do this because they both have eye herpes, for which there is no cure. The L-Lysine helps support their imune system. They dont taste it at all if you mix it well with the food.

Product is as advertised and arrived on time in good condition. We use two of these capsules every day so find the large size convenient.

Whatever youre taking Lysine for, these 500 mg CAPSULES by NOW are much smoother and easier to swallow then the 1000 mg. TABLETS. Just take two of these if you want 1000 mg dose; if not, take one. Also these work well for opening the capsule and sprinkling the powder into applesauce or fruit juice if you or a loved one--or pet--cant swallow capsules or tablets. Lysine works well for so many things, especially for preventing Shingles outbreaks, cold sores, or Herpes outbreaks.

Great for immune support. Reasonably priced.

L-lysine is a great supplement that a lot of people dont even know they should be taking. Ive taken Lysine supplements off and on for several years, recently I kept getting weird sores in my mouth so I bought these Now Foods Lysine supplements and within about a week or so they were gone and havent returned after several months. Lysine is good for several things in your body, its an essential amino acid, its great for your skin among other things. Now Foods have always been a great dependable brand with low prices, I know I can trust almost any of their supplements.

I think it would be nice if the capsules had a color, even 1 side. Since it seems all the supplements are clear capsules hard to portion them into a pill box and knowing that youve got all you need...lysine looks like the magnesium/potassium and the biotin as well, and even the brain stuff.
