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

I didnt notice tablets (didnt even know it came in tablet form) so will not work for sprinkling on cat food. I will take it myself and get capsules for my cat. As for the L-Lysine, all my cats have loved it on their food. A vet recommended it years ago for respiratory and immune system support for my one purebred who came to me with an incurable respiratory condition which the vet expected would kill him (my cat, not the vet). He lived to be 14 - the oldest lived cat Ive ever had (except for his litter-mate brother who is still alive and in good health). Its impossible to know if the L-Lysine was directly responsible for his long life but it certainly didnt hurt.

I normally like the NOW products because they are well made and natural. However, this batch has problems with the capsules (not tablets) leaking the powdered interior of L-Lysine. When I take some capsules out I can see inside the clear capsule shell where some of the powder fell out. Some are full and some are 3/4 full. About 1/4 of the capsules are missing the interior powder. However, I do notice the health benefits of the L-Lysine and will order again to see if it arrives in better condition. As I said, I have never had an issue with other NOW products, so I will keep you posted after a new batch of L-Lysine arrives.

Like it,good for health

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 have a tendency to get fever blisters if I get a sneezing spell or a mild fever, almost anything like a cold or a bug of sometime, I usedd to take Lysine when that happened to try and fight those pesky cold sores and fever blisters at bay, I have now started taking one of thesse Lysine daily with my other supplements aand it seems to be helping more then just the taking of them when it a;pears I may be at risk, I am not sure one kind is better thhen the next but these are reasonably priced and easy too swallow, will buy again when I run low, I purchased these from Amazon as I have started buuying all my supplements thru them as it is super convenient and evven with shipping as cheap as regular retailers, I love my Prime membership now and that gets things her fast and no shipping, as well as thier other benefits.

Received as promised. I buy NOW supplements because they are soy, gluten & dairy free and very reasonably priced. L-lysine was recommended by my naturopath to boost my immune system after being diagnosed w/ Epstein-Barr Virus reactivation. I trust that it us helping. Starting to feel a lot better. I buy NOW vits/supp. whenever possible.

3 pack purchase made it worth the price. NOW Food quality has always been good and I am pleased with their products.

Id rather swallow 2 500mg tablets like these than a larger 1000mg one. Theyre coated making them smoother.

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.

This arrived on time, good size pills, and pills are not too big for me to take. They glide down the chute well.
