BRI Nutrition L-Lysine 180 Servings Per Bottle - Super 500mg Veggie Capsules

An amazing product! I use it if I get a cold sore on my lip. It literally cuts the heal time in half! I have used other l-lysine suppliments and this one is by far the best!

The product itself is fine. The company selling these is fine. People should know, however, that Lysine can have side effects. The following is from Medical News Today: There are reports of an association between lysine supplements and kidney problems, and studies in animals suggest that lysine supplements may increase the risk of gallstones and higher cholesterol. My LDL cholesterol reading in 2021 was 24 points higher than a previous test in 2019 after taking Lysine. There could certainly be other things contributing to the elevation of my LDL level, but as I researched side effects of the new supplements I began since the previous cholesterol test the information on Lysine and cholesterol came up in a search. I will have to stop taking it.

I need L-lysine for when I feel a fever blister start coming on. Before this product I could not find it in a small enough size to swallow. Finally, now I can take L-lysine without fear of choking. I assume it will work like any other L-lysine Ive taken - Im always amazed that an amino acid can stave off a fever blister! I only take it when I feel a fever blister starting and will take about 3 capsules twice a day. It seems to work.

Ive always heard that if you take Lysine every day it can help stop cold sores before they start, so Id been wanting to try it. I get them occasionally. My aunt takes it every day and says she doesnt get them any more. But I couldnt bring myself to do it, because every brand I tried the pills were HUGE and pretty angular, and I nearly choked every time Id try to swallow them. So it was a choice between feeling like I was risking my life and just putting up with cold sores. THESE I can take! Theyre capsules, and fairly normal-sized, and are all very rounded and go down easy! Im taking them every day now. I cant say anything about the results as of yet, since its only been a week, but Im hopeful. If you have been looking for a smaller size lysine supplement, try this, because I suck at taking pills.

So far so good. This pill is easy to swallow and I haven’t had any issues with it so far. Seems to be working for me. The only issue I have is with the bottle. I feel that it should have a locked cap for child safety instead of twist cap. Very easy for someone to open it up. although children should not be around pills it’s better to be safe than sorry. It’s important to have the correct lock lid so kids are not able to open it under any circumstance. (Still worth the purchase and happy I did) seems to be a great purchase!!

I like that I can split the larger dose into two pills, or take a smaller dose with just one. Lysine often comes in huge pills that are hard to swallow.

My background is, Im 72, 58 200 lbs. and work out each day (heavy) in the gym and then play three hours of Pickleball. Im also a SUP (standup paddleboard) racer that competes in 50 + category. Each morning AFTER breakfast I take a lot of supplements which include: Aspirin, Cinnamon, Amino HD 1000 BCAA, L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, Lysine, L-Carnitine, Taurine, Tribulus, Creatine Monohydrate and Prenatal DHA. I have noticed when I dont take my supplements I feel lethargic. I cant truthfully say which ONE supplement keeps me in a good frame of mind or makes me stronger, but this combination works for me.

Decent price not a giant pill, easier to swallow than most pills of this kind

Easy to take. Repairs skin, especially chapped lips. Took this during chemo to avoid mouth sores. Never suffered from those, which are very common for breast cancer patients.

This is a high grade supplement and it is fairly priced.
