NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

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.

When I start to feel a tingle on my lip, I know I’m about to get a fever blister. I hate those things! I take one of these as soon as I can and it won’t form a blister. I don’t take one every day, just when I feel one coming on. Depending on when I take it, it may have to be more than one day in a row that I take it. It totally works.

L-Lysine is an essential in my diet. If I dont take 1-2/week, I get cold sores. I take L-lysine daily during cold/flu season, and I havent been sick in years, so its a great anti-virus for me (and I work with children so Im exposed to a lot of germs). I would highly recommend L-lysine. I purchased this particular brand of L-lysine for the 500mg capsules because they are easier to swallow than a some of the brands with larger doses (1000 mg). However, I was disappointed when I ordered the smaller bottle to discover that the smaller bottle contains tablets, not capsules. I prefer the capsules for both swallowing and absorption. Sometimes when I take tablets, they dont seem as effective for the same milligrams so any of you who find the tablets to not work for you may want to consider trying the capsules instead. I removed one star just because I think they should make it more clear whether you are getting capsules or tablets, but otherwise these capsules are a good product.

I purchase many NOW products. Tried this lysine product on cats who take this supplement daily, vital for their compromised immune systems. Unfortunately, it did NOT work well, as with most other lysine brands. The cats started showing symptoms of their chronic infections a few days later. After putting them back on the other (more expensive brand) they went back to remission.... Every family member takes 2,000 mg of lysine daily, so we rather pay a little more money on a brand that works well on cats as our control group. To be fair to NOW, the fact that their lysine does not work well in cats, does not necessarily mean that it will not work well in humans -but for me, it is a semi-scientific observational indication to stay on a brand that works well in our control group

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

My son used to get fever blisters (a lot) that I’d treat with expensive creams and ointments. I researched so much until I found this! He’s 10 years old thus can’t swallow a pill yet so I open the capsule and put it in his morning smoothies, oatmeal, even yougurt. Now then, he still gets a tiny fever blister (not as often) even when taking L-lysine but it only last hours and it’s GONE!

I take two in the morning and have been able to keep away the sicknesses that everyone else seems to be getting.

Ok I love when this happens , even though it’s very rare but I feel this product working on a day 3!! I read so many reviews where people say they took stronger dose so I did the same thing ( this is not a recommendation what so ever !! I am not a doctor or anything ) but I also took one extra pill on top of a suggested dose and on a day 3, the skin condition I had was half way gone!! To everyone reading this , get this amazing thing !!! Even just as an everyday supplement , it is magical . Just google it and see how powerful it is . I hate that I’m just now hearing about it!!

Now Lysine is really good and its price point is very competitive with other brands of lysine that are on the market. I have always had a good experience with Now Lysine products and I would recommend them and I would recommend their lysine product.
