NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I take two in the morning and have been able to keep away the sicknesses that everyone else seems to be getting.

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.

I trust NOW products and have quite a few of their supplements. Using this for the maintenance of collagen and elastin.

Long story short, I’ve been taking this L-lysine for about 8-9 months only once a day and sometimes I’d skip a day when I forgot. I went to the doctor for my bloodwork a little over 4 months ago and it came back that I have high cholesterol. That’s very weird for me because we have no family history of this in my family, I’m a good weight, exercise and eat a pretty healthy and balanced diet. After researching and then calling my doctor with the news, I stopped taking L-lysine because I found that it can raise your bad cholesterol and it should only be taken 3-4 weeks MAX. It’s been a little over 4 months now and I’m happy to say that my cholesterol is now back to normal, the only change I made was I stopped taking the L-lysine supplement. I’m sure it can help people, but I do warn you to only take it for up to a month and then take a long break in between. Hopefully, no one has this happen to them and hopefully I have no permanent damage or issues later on because of it. God bless!

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

Ive ordered these easy-to-swallow capsules L-Lysine from Amazon for several years. I am thankful to be able to depend upon Amazon to provide this great value pack for me. Thank you.

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 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.

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.

Ok I love these.. as a cold sore sufferer myself I found that taking these pills do help... but here’s another thing.. I made my own paste to put on top of my cold sore as well and it worked unbelievably. Here’s my concoction... grab one or two of the pills.. get a small medicine cup, open the pills and pour in the cup, put a few drops of tea tree oil, and a few drops of peroxide, and some sea salt... voila... works sooo good! I leave it on all night or for an hour or so when I have time. This is the only thing that has actually brought my cold sore down dramatically. Do try!! As well as taking these pills too.
