NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I use this product to protect my cat family from sinus infections and it works very well. The product is well priced and promptly shipped. Thank you

I have had cold sores for my entire life. I have usually taken only Acyclovir 800mg once a day. With only that, Id get cold sores about once every two to three months. Since Ive been taking L-Lysine 2000 - 3000 mg a day at night, I havent had a cold sore for over 6 months. So, at night, Id take 4 of these and then another 2 in the morning. No issues or side affects. These are capsules and are very easy to swallow. If youre looking to buy L-Lysine, dont get the hard pills, they are very hard and scrape on their way down when taken. Also, When Ive felt sores coming on, I usually take 2 to 4 of these and use Abreva and Acyclovir and bingo, they either dont show up or Ive actually seen the bumps simply go away. WOW! its worth every penny!!!

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.

Great to take if you get shingles.

I was sick of paying 17 bucks for the smallest tube Ive ever seen of Abreva to treat my cold sores. I needed another solution and I just searched and searched. Then this amino acid popped up and I gave it a shot. Im very glad I did. I take it ever single day. Ill take 1000 mg everyday and when days that I feel a cold sore coming or a big event Im nervous about is happening Ill take 2-3000 mg for 3 days straight. It works amazing. I would get cold sores one after the other after the other. Maybe one a month. Thats awful and it looks bad. I get maybe 3 a year now more like two and they last very very short amount of time. Now if I actually see a cold sore coming in I will using L lysine plus which is a very inexpensive cold sore medicine along with this. other than that the cold sores are so reduced since taking this that I cant recommend it enough. OH and dont buy the 1000 mg pill is like a horse pill and terrible to try to get down. Get these take two and thank me later.

The size and consistency of these are so easy to swallow and absorb and no stomach upset even on an empty stomach and they work. I take them whenever I bite the inside of my mouth or get a sore mouth or even a sore throat. It is gone within a day or two.

When I start to feel a tingle on my lip, I know I’m about to get a fever blister. I hate those things! I take one of these as soon as I can and it won’t form a blister. I don’t take one every day, just when I feel one coming on. Depending on when I take it, it may have to be more than one day in a row that I take it. It totally works.

Did some internet research concerning rosacea. My understanding is folks deal for years with this often without much success. That was pretty much my story. Part of my wanderings on the net suggested that there was a rosacea link with deficiencies in zinc and Lysine. I ordered the 22mg solgar zinc picolinate tablets and the NOW Foods L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules. I chose these because other reviewers said both were well absorbed by the body and well tolerated. I started taking one each tablet a day with food. My order arrived 5 June 15. As of today (20 July 15), it has almost totally cleared my rosecea up. If I scored a 10/10 on a roseacea scale before, Im probably a 1/10 or 1.5/10 now. Im posting this same recommendation on the Now foods site also.

good value

I was turned onto Lysine-L supplements by my hygienist and its been life-changing. Basically never get them anymore after suffering from them my whole life. Make sure to get this capsule version--there are tablets out there but they dont go down as easily. Ive taken two capsules a day for a few years and have had no adverse side effects or changes to my annual blood work.
