NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Ordered these on recommendation from a client. She’s a personal trainer and heavily into healthy choices. Helps to boost your immune system and is essential for healthy skin. Easy to take, no stomach issues. If you are prone to cold sores, this is a natural way to recover from outbreaks.

I take the powderout of the capsules and add one to each of my cats dinner dishes, then mix it with the food. My vet advised me to do this because they both have eye herpes, for which there is no cure. The L-Lysine helps support their imune system. They dont taste it at all if you mix it well with the food.

I was sick of paying 17 bucks for the smallest tube Ive ever seen of Abreva to treat my cold sores. I needed another solution and I just searched and searched. Then this amino acid popped up and I gave it a shot. Im very glad I did. I take it ever single day. Ill take 1000 mg everyday and when days that I feel a cold sore coming or a big event Im nervous about is happening Ill take 2-3000 mg for 3 days straight. It works amazing. I would get cold sores one after the other after the other. Maybe one a month. Thats awful and it looks bad. I get maybe 3 a year now more like two and they last very very short amount of time. Now if I actually see a cold sore coming in I will using L lysine plus which is a very inexpensive cold sore medicine along with this. other than that the cold sores are so reduced since taking this that I cant recommend it enough. OH and dont buy the 1000 mg pill is like a horse pill and terrible to try to get down. Get these take two and thank me later.

Im fighting with herpes on my lips and even on the nose for decades. The only remedy is Acyclovir, and lately I had to take 800 mg twice a day to stop it when Im getting sick, or treat when I missed it starting. After Ive bought L-lysine, Im taking 500 mg of it twice a day for a month now. First few days I took one pill only to see how Ill react to it. No side effects, but I felt that a cold sore healed faster. Then for several weeks I had to continue Acyclovir, but slowly decreased the dose, and now I take only one 800 mg pill occasionally, even after I had bronchitis treated with antibiotics (which guarantees cold sores after). It definitely works. A bottle is huge, 250 capsules. I have almost 200 left, it is enough for 3 more month. Ill add to this review how things will be going after another month or two. If I can get away from Acyclovir, Ill be very happy. It is damaging for joints if you have arthritis.

In the late 1970s, I worked in a hospital laboratory. My job was computers in a white room, particulate matter, temperature and humidity controlled. After one year of eating my hospital lunch and dinner on, what I didnt know at the time, the 6AM specimen cart for a 550 bed hospital; I got a recurring cyst between my eye brows. The Pathologist directed me to the best of the best dermatologist and he shoot it every month with some liquid. It worked for about 3 weeks, and again it would appear. I researched the issue (in the medical library), and found Lysine was the answer. Months later, I told the dermatologist of how it healed it within a day or so (500 mg caps). Saw my co-worker that used the same table 20 years later, he had the exact same cyst; what I call the Lysine Flush worked within 24 hours. After 20 years, it went away. The dermatologist stated (early 1980s), nothing in the medical journals indicated that herbies viruses were detectable in either of two areas, one of which being lips. To make the long story short, the one day Lysine Flush works better than prescribed medicines, it works like a charm. Last year, the ophthalmologist noted a sudden loss of vision in one eye--I did the Lysine Flush again and on the return visit, he said he had never seen the issue disappear in his career. It was the Lysine Flush (Now Brand). I normally do not take Lysine, but believe it may work as a prophylactic against more recent viruses. The flush I use, but not being a physician, take 2000 mg per day during these special times. Works on the flu, so I figure, only as a prophylactic it might help on a daily basis to slightly reduce health risks--especially when I venture out into the outside world. Take care and be safe.

My rescue cats all have FHV, and require daily lysine to control it. I have been extremely happy with their other products, especially the lysine. Most important to me is consistently high quality products at a reasonable price. Ive had problems with other brands, and I can immediately tell because my cats symptoms come back--Ive never that had that happen with NOW.

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 has done WONDERS for clearing up my skin! Im a 30 y/o female and have been dealing with some very persistent hormonal acne, particularly tiny white bumps/inflamed pores all over my face. Id tried everything for getting rid of it, short of taking oral medications, and had been to the dermatologist twice, which was no help. This is the ONLY thing that made any difference for me and now I want to tell everyone I know about it. Interesting note: at the time I began taking these pills to treat my acne, I was coincidentally in the middle of an outbreak of hand, foot, mouth disease that I had caught from my toddler. This dried all of my uncomfortable lesions from the virus up within a matter of a couple days! As far as for my facial complexion, I noticed an improvement within about 2 weeks.

Updated to say that sweet Curly did not improve and had to be put down. Various antibiotics did not work for him and whatever illness he contracted in the Ohio wilderness. Rest easy, Sweet Curls. ****** I am giving my sick cat one capsule in each can of cat food for his stubborn upper respiratory kitty cold. He seems to maybe be improving, but he is already on 2 kinds of antibiotics. I will also take this myself if I get a recurrence of shingles.

I have had cold sores for my entire life. I have usually taken only Acyclovir 800mg once a day. With only that, Id get cold sores about once every two to three months. Since Ive been taking L-Lysine 2000 - 3000 mg a day at night, I havent had a cold sore for over 6 months. So, at night, Id take 4 of these and then another 2 in the morning. No issues or side affects. These are capsules and are very easy to swallow. If youre looking to buy L-Lysine, dont get the hard pills, they are very hard and scrape on their way down when taken. Also, When Ive felt sores coming on, I usually take 2 to 4 of these and use Abreva and Acyclovir and bingo, they either dont show up or Ive actually seen the bumps simply go away. WOW! its worth every penny!!!
