NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Even though theyre not small (they are 1 inch by 5/16ths) these capsules wash down very easily with a swallow of water. I dont have dysphagia, but I do get freaked out when I have to swallow large tablets. Another advantage, Im guessing, is these capsules can be assimilated faster than the tablets, which have the potential for just passing through the GI tract, unabsorbed. Taking six daily, Ive already staved off a herpes simplex outbreak on my lip since receiving these just a week ago.

My doctor told me that if I was getting sick or ever thought I was getting shingles or a cold sore to take 1500mg L-Lysene twice a day -OR- 1000mg three times a day with a strong dose of vitamin C. Although I cannot be sure, I thought I was getting the shingles about 2 years ago & immediately began the L-Lysene 1500mg twice a day with vitamin C & it cleared up. Having been a nurse for many years, I have seen & heard about shingles & feel sure that is what I was getting.

Muy buen producto

Did some internet research concerning rosacea. My understanding is folks deal for years with this often without much success. That was pretty much my story. Part of my wanderings on the net suggested that there was a rosacea link with deficiencies in zinc and Lysine. I ordered the 22mg solgar zinc picolinate tablets and the NOW Foods L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules. I chose these because other reviewers said both were well absorbed by the body and well tolerated. I started taking one each tablet a day with food. My order arrived 5 June 15. As of today (20 July 15), it has almost totally cleared my rosecea up. If I scored a 10/10 on a roseacea scale before, Im probably a 1/10 or 1.5/10 now. Im posting this same recommendation on the Now foods site also.

I have been taking this for years and not gotten one single cold sore.. where I used to get them all the time.. If you are bothered with constant cold sores this is the remedy for you.. only wish the capsules were a little smaller..

I used to get cold sores at least every other month but after discovering l-lysine i have not not got them in six months this is what works for me and i do it every single day 1- 1000mg tab at 12am 1-1000mg tab at 12 pm 1-500mg tab before i brush my teeth when getting ready for work If i am at work 1-500mg tab every 2 hours If i am at home 1-500 mg tab every three hours I am not sure if this is safe (since i have no medical background) but this works for me i was tired of getting cold sores and this really works for me

My vocal therapist put me on this to strengthen the vocal chords as I have some inflammation and weak chords. Ive noticed improvement but one thing I didnt expect was this stuff actually has helped reduce my general anxiety. I am a big fan of the quality and price point of NOW Foods supplements and will continue using this. Especially after I learned the body needs this supplement but cant produce it naturally so you either need to get it from foods or through supplements. The more you know!
