NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Prevents fever blisters

This maybe a miracle! Ive had cold sores for years and I hate them. I tried otc and prescribed ointments, but they still last for a week and look gross. Im totally sel-conscious. Now that I have kids, Ive become overwhelmed trying to make sure I dont infect them. This led me to explore any alternative I could find on the internet. I tried many things, but L-lysine is the first product that should immediate and remarkable improvements. Now as soon as I feel the tingle, I double the dose. Sores barely become noticeable and last for a day it two!!! Its amazing. I cannot recommend this product enough!

I purchase many NOW products. Tried this lysine product on cats who take this supplement daily, vital for their compromised immune systems. Unfortunately, it did NOT work well, as with most other lysine brands. The cats started showing symptoms of their chronic infections a few days later. After putting them back on the other (more expensive brand) they went back to remission.... Every family member takes 2,000 mg of lysine daily, so we rather pay a little more money on a brand that works well on cats as our control group. To be fair to NOW, the fact that their lysine does not work well in cats, does not necessarily mean that it will not work well in humans -but for me, it is a semi-scientific observational indication to stay on a brand that works well in our control group

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.

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.

I bought this for a friend who had cold sores and he took some at the beginning of an outbreak and he says it went away in 3 days before blowing up to uncontrollable proportions. This is great. I have seen his bad days adn they are pretty bad. The situation usually doesnt go away for like 3 or 4 weeks but with this it went away in 3-5 days max. Since taking these he has also felt more hope and started a new diet. You have to take away l-arginine from your diet some way to help with the cold sores. So he has reduced this , you cant eliminate it completely because the arginine is an essential amino acid and your body needs it. The lysine, decreases arginine Ive read so it helps keep the cold sores at bay. Im glad it helped my friend, he was going through some tough times because of it. Try it, you never know. He has reported no side effects.

I ordered these after reading a peer reviewed article discussing the benefits of taking L-Lysine along with iron or vitamin D. I had bariatric surgery over twenty years ago and I struggle to maintain my iron and D levels. I started taking these as soon as the shipment arrived and last month, my labs showed a remarkable improvement! I am going to continue my regimen and see what my next lab report shows. I am just amazed that after spending so much money on a variety of supplements, to discover that all I needed was to add L-Lysine to my regimen!

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.

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.

Updated to say that sweet Curly did not improve and had to be put down. Various antibiotics did not work for him and whatever illness he contracted in the Ohio wilderness. Rest easy, Sweet Curls. ****** I am giving my sick cat one capsule in each can of cat food for his stubborn upper respiratory kitty cold. He seems to maybe be improving, but he is already on 2 kinds of antibiotics. I will also take this myself if I get a recurrence of shingles.
