NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Went through a 10 year span where I was getting one cold sore after another. I purchased a bottle of this product to see if it would give me any relief. I took one-a-day til the bottle was empty and never got another cold sore. Once the bottle ran out and I failed to replenish my supply, the cold sores returned. I wont make that mistake again..

We have used L-Lysine for years at the first tingling of an on coming canker soar I take 2 or 3 and never come to a full soar, if I dont catch it right away it starts then gotta keep after the L-Lysine for a couple of days till its goes away it is also very good for your skin I am 72 and I get lots of compliments on my skin.

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.

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.

I have taken 1000 mg of NOW L-Lysine capsules ever since my accident on Sept. 2012. I am a left handed person and was hit from behind by a kid who was not paying attention to my car stopped at the intersection. The tendon in my back was so badly damaged that I was forced to use my right hand for 7 months (that was no easy feat)! I was going to my chiropractor every day and also working with obvious limitations. I like to heal naturally, if possible, so I did some research online and was encouraged to try taking L-Lysine to help me. I like the NOW brand of supplements and take several of them daily, so I ordered them from Amazon (just ordered more because my dbf is now taking them). I credit these capsules (along with the hard work of my chiropractor) with my speedy recovery. My tendon has healed back up and my left hand is back in charge! I still take it every day and will continue to take it. I did not suffer any side effects from it whatsoever - it just helped my body to heal at a faster rate.

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.

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.

I have been taking one a day for about a month. Last week a had a pretty severe cold and knew i was going to end up with at least one cold sore. Sure enough, two started to develop so I upped my lysine to 3 or 4 day day. The cold sores went away within TWO DAYS! Those of you that suffer from cold sores know that they would normally last a week or two. I am so happy! I know that lysine works to help your body fight viruses like cold sores, and it really showed. Both of my cold sores began to die and shrink before they even got to the scabbing phase.

When I received this I started taking 2-3 a day to help my immune system. After a week or so, I started breaking out badly - deep big zits on my chin. I looked it up and zits on your chin can indicate kidney imbalance and a side effect of L-lysine is kidney failure. So please take with caution and lots of water. Once I stopped taking it, my zits cleared up within a week.
