NOW Supplements, L-Lysine (L-Lysine Hydrochloride) 500 mg, Amino Acid, 250 Tablets

I have not had a cold for 5 years, since I started taking this.

Taking these for shingles. Not sure if they’re working but good price for them anyway.

I’ve been using L-Lysine for years and I like the Now brand and this is the best price I have found.

Ive been taking L-Lysine since 1968 and dont get sick. Getting scheduled vaccines and a good diet also help.

2 a day keeps the cold sores away. No need to take anything Dr. prescribed. Very effective.

I buy a large quanity of these to take if I begin to feel a cold sore coming on. I take a few high mg. tablets to stop the feel of it beginning. Which is a tender area with maybe a little raised lump. I take a few throughout the next few days to reverse it and make it go away. Catch it quick and keep on hand. BAM!

I recommend.

As somebody who suffers from cold sores on my lips, this stuff is a life saver. I always buy one bottle of the 250 count, 500mg tablets and one bottle of the 100 count, 1000mg tablets at the same time (repeat customer here). I take one 500mg tablet every morning as preventative maintenance and I barely ever get the cold sores anymore. But of course mother nature always comes through during times of high stress (when you want a cold sore the least) and I can always tell when Im about to get one. Thats when I start popping the 1000mg tablets; Ill take about 6 of them throughout the day in place of the daily 500mg tablets. I only have to do this for 2-3 days and the cold sore never gets the chance to rear its ugly head. I guess I should post a little disclaimer here: Im no medical expert and I have no idea how much L-Lysine is safe to take on a daily basis. Im not necessarily recommending you take the same amount of this medication as I do when you get a cold sore, Im only telling you what works for me. For all I know its entirely safe, but I would recommend doing some research or talking to your doctor before taking a large amount of anything (of course).

I have been taking Lysine for many years. This product is the same, but less expensive than most. The capsules are fairly large, but I have no difficulty swallowing them.

Bought to treat shingles. Results in 2 days. Also works for mouth sores (canker sores). Recommend this and tea tree oil/and neem oil topically to clear shingles.
