NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I was surprised when the Doctor suggested this supplement for small flat bumps that were appearing on my fingers. This doesnt seem like the primary use of this supplement. But one a day has kept the bumps away. Buying through Amazon has meant I could buy in quality and got me the best price.

I need Lysine every day and this supplement works for me.

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.

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.

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.

Overall health

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

I used to get cold sores at least every other month but after discovering l-lysine i have not not got them in six months this is what works for me and i do it every single day 1- 1000mg tab at 12am 1-1000mg tab at 12 pm 1-500mg tab before i brush my teeth when getting ready for work If i am at work 1-500mg tab every 2 hours If i am at home 1-500 mg tab every three hours I am not sure if this is safe (since i have no medical background) but this works for me i was tired of getting cold sores and this really works for me

I like taking this product. I purchased this mainly for my skin. I read online the benefits of taking lysine for battling against fine lines and wrinkles as well as clearing acne and for cold sores. I thought wow this would be awesome to take since I have developed cystic acne recently. I started taking this almost two weeks ago for 3 times a day and I can see a change in my skin as I do not get as much cystic acne as before and my skin is a little more clear. Im not able to rule out this product as the cause of having less acne issues because I was also taking IntestinePro, Bioschwartz colon cleanser and the Mario Badescu buffering lotion. Maybe all the combinations of medicine and detoxing helped. Im not sure but I will continue taking this product since Lysine has many other benefits. The price is so convenient as it is only $10 and the bottle is huge consisting of 250 capsules. Worth the money.

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.
