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

I didnt notice tablets (didnt even know it came in tablet form) so will not work for sprinkling on cat food. I will take it myself and get capsules for my cat. As for the L-Lysine, all my cats have loved it on their food. A vet recommended it years ago for respiratory and immune system support for my one purebred who came to me with an incurable respiratory condition which the vet expected would kill him (my cat, not the vet). He lived to be 14 - the oldest lived cat Ive ever had (except for his litter-mate brother who is still alive and in good health). Its impossible to know if the L-Lysine was directly responsible for his long life but it certainly didnt hurt.

I have a problem with biting my gums when I eat and get mouth ulcers from it. This helps me.

Ive battled fever blisters forever, since I was a little kid. In doing some research I came across people saying that Lysine can help prevent them. At first sign of feeling one coming on, or even if I just know that Im feeling run down and I might have one pop up as a result, I take four of these. I havent had but maybe one fever blister since, and I was breaking out regularly for a while. Glad I found this.

I take two pills a day, and I havent had any canker sores since I started. If I forget to take them for a day or two, they start coming back. I gag easily on large pills, and these are very easy to swallow.

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.

Probably placebo

not sure why, but the tablets dont seem to work as well as the capsules

One a day, no more cold sores.

Like it,good for health

I take one of these a day for canker sores (sores inside the mouth) lysine plays many significant roles in the human body. It is crucial for the proper absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract. It also helps in conserving calcium. It facilitates the production of enzymes, hormones and antibodies and assists in the formation of muscle protein. Lysine aids in the synthesis of collagen, an important constituent of bones and connective tissues. Besides this, L-lysine benefits involve stimulating the production of creatinine, which is responsible for converting fatty acids into energy. In the process, the level of cholesterol, especially the harmful LDL cholesterol, reduces in the body. An elevated level of LDL cholesterol is associated with the increased risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries due to deposition of fats inside the arterial wall).
