NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I have been using Lysine for over 20 years to prevent cold sores. I eat a lot of sunflower seeds and it seems they can cause sores. It could be coffee and tea also. While I don’t know the complete reason for my cold sores Lysine helps. I take it at night. I like the capsules. They are easier to swallow than the larger regular pills.

I use lysine to prevent cold sores. This brand did not prevent and taking many mg, it did not reduce severity as others brands have…

I have recurrent aphthous stomatitis triggered by tomatoes and this has made me never have a trigger again (when I do not forget). I take one of these every morning and have not had a trigger when I remember. I occasionally forget, eat something with tomatoes (its hard to avoid them), and will get a trigger. When I do have an outbreak I take 3 of these a day and it seems to decrease the time I have an outbreak. I hope these reaches someone with RAS well, it took me 19 years to find a solution.

Did some internet research concerning rosacea. My understanding is folks deal for years with this often without much success. That was pretty much my story. Part of my wanderings on the net suggested that there was a rosacea link with deficiencies in zinc and Lysine. I ordered the 22mg solgar zinc picolinate tablets and the NOW Foods L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules. I chose these because other reviewers said both were well absorbed by the body and well tolerated. I started taking one each tablet a day with food. My order arrived 5 June 15. As of today (20 July 15), it has almost totally cleared my rosecea up. If I scored a 10/10 on a roseacea scale before, Im probably a 1/10 or 1.5/10 now. Im posting this same recommendation on the Now foods site also.

I ordered this mainly to take along with my other supplements for lipedema and lower leg circulation but didnt start taking it till I felt some soreness and skin sloughing in my mouth. I thought it might be the start of an apthous ulcer, I remembered I had lysine and took them 2x/day already by the third day it was healed and nothing came of it! As a hygienist I recommend this as a natural alternative for oral lesions but never had to use it now I can say it worked for me as well. hopefully it will help repair the collagen and connective tissue in my lower legs too.

We have used L-Lysine for years at the first tingling of an on coming canker soar I take 2 or 3 and never come to a full soar, if I dont catch it right away it starts then gotta keep after the L-Lysine for a couple of days till its goes away it is also very good for your skin I am 72 and I get lots of compliments on my skin.

Lysine has no flavor so if you can’t swallow capsules you can open the capsule and sprinkle it on applesauce, yogurt, etc and take it that way. You can also apply it directly to a cold sore for great results!

I take l-lysine to help with the really painful canker sores i used to get quite frequently. Since Ive been taking it Ive noticed a pretty significant decrease in the number of sores i get. A lot of times even when i do feel one starting to form, it will go away in a day or 2 with minimal pain, as opposed to lasting for a week or more.

I was picking up every cold in the world for several months; my doctor recommended taking 500 mg of Lysine and 500 mg of Vitamin C. Ive gone for two months now and havent even picked up the slightest cold, even with 9 kids in the house who have had colds. Now thats quite a feat, considering I also have a newborn and dont always get my sleep. So its great for the immune system, which I did not know. Its also great for removing warts. My husband had quite the colony of plantars warts on the bottom of his feet and after taking 1000 mg of this for 2 months they all disappeared. He had spent TONS of money on the acid and day after day digging (ew, sorry if TMI) and burning the guys; if he had known it was so easy to get rid of them just by popping a natural pill, then he would have done it long ago. Highly recommend these!

It boosts my immune system
