NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

My rescue cats all have FHV, and require daily lysine to control it. I have been extremely happy with their other products, especially the lysine. Most important to me is consistently high quality products at a reasonable price. Ive had problems with other brands, and I can immediately tell because my cats symptoms come back--Ive never that had that happen with NOW.

This has done WONDERS for clearing up my skin! Im a 30 y/o female and have been dealing with some very persistent hormonal acne, particularly tiny white bumps/inflamed pores all over my face. Id tried everything for getting rid of it, short of taking oral medications, and had been to the dermatologist twice, which was no help. This is the ONLY thing that made any difference for me and now I want to tell everyone I know about it. Interesting note: at the time I began taking these pills to treat my acne, I was coincidentally in the middle of an outbreak of hand, foot, mouth disease that I had caught from my toddler. This dried all of my uncomfortable lesions from the virus up within a matter of a couple days! As far as for my facial complexion, I noticed an improvement within about 2 weeks.

This helps so much with fighting viruses. I cant tell if it helps with colds or not, but anything in the herpes family, it helps a lot. I cant have nuts or the CMV (cytomegalovirus, similar to mono) comes back, but if I counter-balance with this lysine, Im fine. It also has helped in treating shingles, which is unbelievably painful, and in preventing outbreaks. Someone gave me biscotti with only a few walnuts in it, and boom, shingles starting. Since using these with ANY arginine-rich foods, Ive been able to avoid getting any more. If anyone else is looking for shingles help, or anything in the herpes family, here is what has helped me the very most: 1. Lysine to compensate for arginine in foods. I use this brand and its perfect. 2. Durhams bee propolis supplement 3 times a day during an outbreak (but only if youre not allergic to bee stings). Or the queens delight, which contains propolis. 3. Vitamin C (I use this same brand in 1,000mg time release tablets) combined with green or black tea. Vitamin C on its own does not help. Tea on its own may or may not help. But when you combine the two, they help a LOT. If you feel the tingling of an outbreak looming, if you do enough tea & C quickly enough, the lesion will never even form! 4. Durhams wonder salve stops lesions from spreading and reduces pain and itching on existing lesions. 5. Vitamin C serum - yes the same kind people use for wrinkles and anti aging - apply this directly to the lesion. I may stop using the wonder salve, as the vitamin C serum seems to work faster. I had an especially stubborn lesion on my ankle that was not responding to the propolis salve (wonder salve), so on a whim, I tried the vitamin C serum I normally use on my face to prevent wrinkles. That stubborn lesion/scar had been itching and burning for weeks after the lesion appeared healed. The C serum cleared it the rest of the way in a few days. I hope this information helps someone else. This particular product (Now Foods Lysine) and their time-released vitamin C are invaluable tools in my Arsenal to fight any viruses in the herpes family, all of which stay with you for life.

L-Lysine is an essential in my diet. If I dont take 1-2/week, I get cold sores. I take L-lysine daily during cold/flu season, and I havent been sick in years, so its a great anti-virus for me (and I work with children so Im exposed to a lot of germs). I would highly recommend L-lysine. I purchased this particular brand of L-lysine for the 500mg capsules because they are easier to swallow than a some of the brands with larger doses (1000 mg). However, I was disappointed when I ordered the smaller bottle to discover that the smaller bottle contains tablets, not capsules. I prefer the capsules for both swallowing and absorption. Sometimes when I take tablets, they dont seem as effective for the same milligrams so any of you who find the tablets to not work for you may want to consider trying the capsules instead. I removed one star just because I think they should make it more clear whether you are getting capsules or tablets, but otherwise these capsules are a good product.

They are easy to swallow and hopefully they will work.

When I search for NOW L Lysine 1000 mg it quickly comes up with a bottle that says 1000 mg. But when you click on it, it goes to the writing and it is changed into L Lysine 500 mg. I had this on auto ship but now have cancelled that order. I tried 2 times to talk to technical assistance and thought I had this corrected. But I got caught again. I do like the 1000 as that is the dosage the doctor had recommended for us. So for the price, it is more expensive because you are getting just half of what you think you are getting. If you want 1000 mg, you must take 2 tablets instead of just one.

I take 1500(3) day before I go to sleep along with other Amino Acids. It’s considered an antiviral.

My son used to get fever blisters (a lot) that I’d treat with expensive creams and ointments. I researched so much until I found this! He’s 10 years old thus can’t swallow a pill yet so I open the capsule and put it in his morning smoothies, oatmeal, even yougurt. Now then, he still gets a tiny fever blister (not as often) even when taking L-lysine but it only last hours and it’s GONE!

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 bought these for my husband after reading reviews that they can help to limit the frequency of heroe outbreaks. We are really not sure if they work or not. He takes one pill each day along with Vitamin C and echinacea to boost his immune system. He had began to have much more frequent outbreaks (during a stressful time) so I researched and read quite a few positive things about L-Lysine. It definitely didnt make matters worse so I would recommend these to anyone suffering from symptoms or outbreaks. He seems to be in a phase of much less outbreaks now and still takes the one capsule each day.
