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

Pill to large

I much prefer the capsules but I forgot that I once ordered the wrong kind and accidentally re-ordered them. They are fine, but the capsules are a little easier to swallow and I think they work better (maybe easier for the body to absorb).

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!

got this for my cat to offset frequent eye/congestion , works well when I can get him to take it

Ok

Been taking L-Lysine for years and could trust Now Supplements products. It really helps with cold sores. 500mg is easy to swallow.

Arrived quickly, no gross taste, inexpensive and does the job.

not flavored and difficult to swallow

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.

These pills work well for any cold sore or canker sore. Take at the first sign of burning (cold sore) or tenderness (canker sore). For me, I see results within a couple of hours. Been taking lysine for the past 25 years.
