NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

When I am not taking this daily I can start to feel run down, need a nap. Seems to help my immune system.

Use this for immune support and boosting for me and my cats. Really helps us all... colds, flu, energy and allergies so duration shorter, recover quicker and can say it saved one of my cats 6 months ago when real sick. She was throwing up, couldnt keep food down and thought I was going to lose her. I increased her dose to three times a day and gave slippery elm 2 times. The combination and a lot of prayers brought her out of whatever was happening and so thankful for this product. A staple in my house and have cats on it from time they are weaned. Helps a lot for me when I am really worn down and helps shorten flu symptoms for me too.

Another excellent product from Now. I use their Niacin, Arginine/ Ornithine amino combo, and many other supplements. I am very pleased with this supplement. It is hard to find the branch chains together in high mg. I prefer to buy the separately for that reason. This product contains 500 mg of L-Lysine. Lysine is an amino acid that our bodies cant produce but that is essential for human health.L-lysine is important for proper growth and it supports other amino acids in converting fatty acids into energy and helping to decrease bad cholesterol. Some scientific studies indicate that lysine aids in calcium absorption and it is important to maintain healthy connective tissue. Lysine is especially good for athletes and is thought to help improve endurance and recovery. Many report that it has helped them with problems associated with osteoporosis. It is also recommended by many for the prevention and control of cold sores. I use this to try and increase my natural levels of HGH. I feel younger and have more energy while taking this product. I always receive high quality products form NOW, and I really trust this brand the most.

Muy buen producto

Ive been taking L-lysine once a day along with my vitamins for years now. These work great for keeping cold sores at bay, healing chapped lips, and helping me stay healthy. I really like this brand of L-lysine, it works very well. If Im out in the sun too long and my lips start feeling chapped I take three before bed and chapped lips are gone by morning. If I start feeling a cold sore coming in I take a few before bed and more often than not it will never show, or if it does I take one three times a day and it shortens the severity of the sore and heals it faster. Nice size easy open bottle too.

It boosts my immune system

L-Lysine IMO has always been SUPER large pill to swallow easily. I researched this time & came across this one. This is the CAPSULE & is decent size but SMALLER & MUCH easier to take than other L-Lysine pills Ive taken.

Im fighting with herpes on my lips and even on the nose for decades. The only remedy is Acyclovir, and lately I had to take 800 mg twice a day to stop it when Im getting sick, or treat when I missed it starting. After Ive bought L-lysine, Im taking 500 mg of it twice a day for a month now. First few days I took one pill only to see how Ill react to it. No side effects, but I felt that a cold sore healed faster. Then for several weeks I had to continue Acyclovir, but slowly decreased the dose, and now I take only one 800 mg pill occasionally, even after I had bronchitis treated with antibiotics (which guarantees cold sores after). It definitely works. A bottle is huge, 250 capsules. I have almost 200 left, it is enough for 3 more month. Ill add to this review how things will be going after another month or two. If I can get away from Acyclovir, Ill be very happy. It is damaging for joints if you have arthritis.

I purchase this for times when I get a fever blister or a mouth ulcer. At the first signs I take several of these throughout the day. The 1000 mg are huge tablets and I have major trouble swallowing them. These are capsules that are only 500 mg but I just double up on the amount I take. It works. I started taking them on advice of a friend and have been happy I took her advice. After buying these someone told me you can take the 1000 mg huge tablets and put in your smoothie in the Vitamix. I may do that next, but for the time being, these are easy to swallow. Yes they do float, but that is OK. You just hold your head down and swallow instead of throwing your head back like with a pill that sinks. That way if floats into the back of your throat and is easy to swallow.

I was picking up every cold in the world for several months; my doctor recommended taking 500 mg of Lysine and 500 mg of Vitamin C. Ive gone for two months now and havent even picked up the slightest cold, even with 9 kids in the house who have had colds. Now thats quite a feat, considering I also have a newborn and dont always get my sleep. So its great for the immune system, which I did not know. Its also great for removing warts. My husband had quite the colony of plantars warts on the bottom of his feet and after taking 1000 mg of this for 2 months they all disappeared. He had spent TONS of money on the acid and day after day digging (ew, sorry if TMI) and burning the guys; if he had known it was so easy to get rid of them just by popping a natural pill, then he would have done it long ago. Highly recommend these!
