NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I need Lysine every day and this supplement works for me.

Great to take if you get shingles.

great stuff

They are easy to swallow and hopefully they will work.

My kids and I love this supplement. It seems kind of funny to review something like this since it is simply a staple in our house (and has been for years). My kids and I have a tendency towards canker sores (otherwise known as mouth ulcers). When we are consistently taking this everyday, no canker sores! My teen daughters are not great about consistently taking vitamins every day, but when they begin to develop a canker sore, they start taking L-Lysine and the canker sores go away. My younger daughter has a pretty intense orthodontic appliance in her mouth, which can easily cause sores on her cheeks. I think it is only because of consistently taking L-Lysine that she has been able to make it through this orthodontic process. This supplement is very inexpensive, odorless, and effective. All pros and no cons as far as our household is concerned.

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!

I take it for my immune system cause I have RA

Prevents fever blisters

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.

Ive been taking L-lysine once a day along with my vitamins for years now. These work great for keeping cold sores at bay, healing chapped lips, and helping me stay healthy. I really like this brand of L-lysine, it works very well. If Im out in the sun too long and my lips start feeling chapped I take three before bed and chapped lips are gone by morning. If I start feeling a cold sore coming in I take a few before bed and more often than not it will never show, or if it does I take one three times a day and it shortens the severity of the sore and heals it faster. Nice size easy open bottle too.
