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

The package arrived safely and I was able to intercept UPS before it was left in the heat. For those in warmer climates delivering vitamins, etc. leave a cooler for UPS to drop off temperature sensitive items like these. Its too early for results on the Lysine, was taking extra lysine to recover from surgery.

It works

I am incredibly prone to cold sores (especially during the start of a cycle - because yes Im that lucky.) I dont just get a tiny little cold sore thats a minor irritation. These suckers spread across my entire lip, they itch like mad crazy, blister like someone lit my face on fire and take a good 10+ days to heal. Then one of my friends mentioned that taking Lysine helps reduce the duration of time it takes for a cold sore to go away. So when Id get one, Id pound the lysine and sure enough, the cold sore would either go away or shrink down to a tiny little thing that was barely noticeable. Once I realized it was working, I decided to take Lysine regularly, and I no longer get cold sores. YAY!

These tablets are a good fit for me and work!

I have a tendency to get fever blisters if I get a sneezing spell or a mild fever, almost anything like a cold or a bug of sometime, I usedd to take Lysine when that happened to try and fight those pesky cold sores and fever blisters at bay, I have now started taking one of thesse Lysine daily with my other supplements aand it seems to be helping more then just the taking of them when it a;pears I may be at risk, I am not sure one kind is better thhen the next but these are reasonably priced and easy too swallow, will buy again when I run low, I purchased these from Amazon as I have started buuying all my supplements thru them as it is super convenient and evven with shipping as cheap as regular retailers, I love my Prime membership now and that gets things her fast and no shipping, as well as thier other benefits.

Great supplement for the price!

I normally like the NOW products because they are well made and natural. However, this batch has problems with the capsules (not tablets) leaking the powdered interior of L-Lysine. When I take some capsules out I can see inside the clear capsule shell where some of the powder fell out. Some are full and some are 3/4 full. About 1/4 of the capsules are missing the interior powder. However, I do notice the health benefits of the L-Lysine and will order again to see if it arrives in better condition. As I said, I have never had an issue with other NOW products, so I will keep you posted after a new batch of L-Lysine arrives.

I have been taking L-Lysine for almost 2 years and I have gone from having the most horrible cold sores above my lip (several times a year, that last for weeks no matter what I put on it.) to not having any, well I did have one, but it was very small and was gone within 3 days. I read about this and gave it a try and SOOOOOOOO glad I did. Hope you have the same miracle Ive had.

Pill to large

I have had oral herpes since I was a little girl and I’m in my 70s now. I have been using this product for many many years and if I take it on a daily basis I do not have the breakouts that I used to get. If you feel a tingle on your lips or nose take several of these and the sore will not come out.
