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

Great product

Ive taken Lysine everyday for nearly 25 years. Not sure if there is any science behind this, but if I dont take them regularly I tend to get bad canker sores (they hurt!). But if Im consistent in taking lysine, then everything seems to be fine. These are a great supplement and easy to order from Amazon.

I am taking this with other Supplements to not catch Covid....Thanks

I love the Now brand. I prefer capsules, but these work well.

As somebody who suffers from cold sores on my lips, this stuff is a life saver. I always buy one bottle of the 250 count, 500mg tablets and one bottle of the 100 count, 1000mg tablets at the same time (repeat customer here). I take one 500mg tablet every morning as preventative maintenance and I barely ever get the cold sores anymore. But of course mother nature always comes through during times of high stress (when you want a cold sore the least) and I can always tell when Im about to get one. Thats when I start popping the 1000mg tablets; Ill take about 6 of them throughout the day in place of the daily 500mg tablets. I only have to do this for 2-3 days and the cold sore never gets the chance to rear its ugly head. I guess I should post a little disclaimer here: Im no medical expert and I have no idea how much L-Lysine is safe to take on a daily basis. Im not necessarily recommending you take the same amount of this medication as I do when you get a cold sore, Im only telling you what works for me. For all I know its entirely safe, but I would recommend doing some research or talking to your doctor before taking a large amount of anything (of course).

Ok

take daily

It works well for me. It could be a bit smaller and easier to swallow, but it is doable.

L-lysine is my go to for any mouth issues whatsoever and this stuff helped me through a late-in-life removal of tonsils and follow up throat treatments. Putting this on subscription to make sure there is always some around.

I am incredibly prone to cold sores (especially during the start of a cycle - because yes Im that lucky.) I dont just get a tiny little cold sore thats a minor irritation. These suckers spread across my entire lip, they itch like mad crazy, blister like someone lit my face on fire and take a good 10+ days to heal. Then one of my friends mentioned that taking Lysine helps reduce the duration of time it takes for a cold sore to go away. So when Id get one, Id pound the lysine and sure enough, the cold sore would either go away or shrink down to a tiny little thing that was barely noticeable. Once I realized it was working, I decided to take Lysine regularly, and I no longer get cold sores. YAY!
