NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I am a 28 year old male, who has had canker sores since I can remember. I seem to always get them whenever I binge on sugar (candy/soda) and sometimes will get them 2-3 at a time and they would last for weeks. I have tried all of the home-remedies over the years, some work better than others but nothing has really been my cure. I read online that Lysine helps some people with canker sores, so I figured I would give this a shot since nothing else seems to work. I actually purchased this bottle almost a year ago and have been testing it out since then. I take these pills maybe 1-2 times a week just normally, but the moment I feel a canker sore coming on, I take 3 capsules a day for a few days and every time the canker sore goes away without fully developing! You canker sore people know the drill, you get that feeling in your mouth of a canker sore coming on, and within a few days its a full-blown pain in your mouth for weeks to come. This has worked for me about a half dozen times now where the canker sore just doesnt develop! If you have tried everything else but Lysine, then I recommend trying out this solution. It may not be your cure-all, but I never thought I would find mine until stumbling on Lysine and am so relieved that I did.

My son used to get fever blisters (a lot) that I’d treat with expensive creams and ointments. I researched so much until I found this! He’s 10 years old thus can’t swallow a pill yet so I open the capsule and put it in his morning smoothies, oatmeal, even yougurt. Now then, he still gets a tiny fever blister (not as often) even when taking L-lysine but it only last hours and it’s GONE!

Good for your skin and immune system. If you get cold sores and such. A regimen of l-lysine is a must. I love this brand, as soon as I feel the tingle of a cold sore, I raise my dose and usually never get one, while also using a lysine based lip balm. Zinc and generally eating healthy and other good supplements for the immune system.

Lysine has no flavor so if you can’t swallow capsules you can open the capsule and sprinkle it on applesauce, yogurt, etc and take it that way. You can also apply it directly to a cold sore for great results!

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.

My doctor told me that if I was getting sick or ever thought I was getting shingles or a cold sore to take 1500mg L-Lysene twice a day -OR- 1000mg three times a day with a strong dose of vitamin C. Although I cannot be sure, I thought I was getting the shingles about 2 years ago & immediately began the L-Lysene 1500mg twice a day with vitamin C & it cleared up. Having been a nurse for many years, I have seen & heard about shingles & feel sure that is what I was getting.

I ordered this mainly to take along with my other supplements for lipedema and lower leg circulation but didnt start taking it till I felt some soreness and skin sloughing in my mouth. I thought it might be the start of an apthous ulcer, I remembered I had lysine and took them 2x/day already by the third day it was healed and nothing came of it! As a hygienist I recommend this as a natural alternative for oral lesions but never had to use it now I can say it worked for me as well. hopefully it will help repair the collagen and connective tissue in my lower legs too.

I struggled with hormonal acne and saw that this product was recommended for an off label use to treat it. I was in the middle of a nasty breakout along my chin when I started this product. Within 2 days all my active pimples started to dry up and go away. After about 10 days of use I didn’t have any break outs. I take one 500mg capsule three times a day (with every meal). This product has done an amazing job at keeping my hormonal acne away.

Great to take if you get shingles.

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.
