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

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!

Helps with cold sores

Got this to help with impetigo breakouts. And to crush up and place on the coldsore if it happens again.

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 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.

Idk if these worked or the lip clear lysine worked or both together, but I alsohave no reason to believe that they didnt work. To me personally and physically, it SEEMS to have worked for helping clear my herp blemish (which is appparently common, im not alone :^) ) so on that basis, I will recommend it. Simple pill, take it once or multiple times, or once but multiple pills.

Thought I was getting capsules, which I take and I also give to my cat for a health condition. I can take the tablets myself but prefer capsules. Didnt notice until I opened it. Ill have to order more for my cat.

Now always seems to work well.

I find this a cheap way to stop getting a cold sore if you down these immediately. No reason to buy the expensive tabs when this gets right into your system just double up on the doses when you first start taking them and doing immediately when you feel a cold sore coming on they are great and have used them for years.

I love this product - vegetarian and a great price. I take this daily to prevent cold sores. If you are looking for lysine for the same reason, please try it! I was getting cold sores weekly and that was unacceptable to me. Im a stressed out person and I get cold sores when stressed, so taking lysine daily and staying hydrated have changed my life! Highly recommended.
