NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

This works very well for us, keeps cold sores from developing or helps so much if they do. I am prone to shingles so taking this product everyday helps keep that under control. I gave 4 stars only because I ordered a bottle on Oct. 28 and have not received it, was not in the box with other items. Havent been successful in getting another sent so Im re-ordering as we dont want to be without it.

I have been taking one a day for about a month. Last week a had a pretty severe cold and knew i was going to end up with at least one cold sore. Sure enough, two started to develop so I upped my lysine to 3 or 4 day day. The cold sores went away within TWO DAYS! Those of you that suffer from cold sores know that they would normally last a week or two. I am so happy! I know that lysine works to help your body fight viruses like cold sores, and it really showed. Both of my cold sores began to die and shrink before they even got to the scabbing phase.

I struggled with hormonal acne and saw that this product was recommended for an off label use to treat it. I was in the middle of a nasty breakout along my chin when I started this product. Within 2 days all my active pimples started to dry up and go away. After about 10 days of use I didn’t have any break outs. I take one 500mg capsule three times a day (with every meal). This product has done an amazing job at keeping my hormonal acne away.

This maybe a miracle! Ive had cold sores for years and I hate them. I tried otc and prescribed ointments, but they still last for a week and look gross. Im totally sel-conscious. Now that I have kids, Ive become overwhelmed trying to make sure I dont infect them. This led me to explore any alternative I could find on the internet. I tried many things, but L-lysine is the first product that should immediate and remarkable improvements. Now as soon as I feel the tingle, I double the dose. Sores barely become noticeable and last for a day it two!!! Its amazing. I cannot recommend this product enough!

I take 1500(3) day before I go to sleep along with other Amino Acids. It’s considered an antiviral.

I was doing research online to see what I could take to help with the canker sores I would constantly get. All the articles pointed to taking L-lysine. Since I have been taking these pills by Now supplements I rarely ever get canker sores anymore. I take two every morning with my breakfast. These pills are not too big so they are easy to swallow. They also do not have any taste it after taste to them. If do get sores in my mouth I will up my dosage for a few days and the sores will quickly heal. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who gets lots of canker sores. Note - my 12 year old daughter also gets canker sores and I have given this to her and it has helped her as well. I have found it is best to take 2 pills daily in order to keep from getting sores.

Been using this for years... NOW is a great, reliable company. I take it occasionally when my body needs it, but mostly use it for rescue cats that need the immunity boost due to various ailments/conditions, including respiratory issues, viruses evidenced by other symptoms, lip blisters, etc. The gelatin capsule is easily separated to release the powder into wet food, liquids, etc. Great price, as well.

Muy buen producto

They are easy to swallow and hopefully they will work.

I purchase many NOW products. Tried this lysine product on cats who take this supplement daily, vital for their compromised immune systems. Unfortunately, it did NOT work well, as with most other lysine brands. The cats started showing symptoms of their chronic infections a few days later. After putting them back on the other (more expensive brand) they went back to remission.... Every family member takes 2,000 mg of lysine daily, so we rather pay a little more money on a brand that works well on cats as our control group. To be fair to NOW, the fact that their lysine does not work well in cats, does not necessarily mean that it will not work well in humans -but for me, it is a semi-scientific observational indication to stay on a brand that works well in our control group
