NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

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!

I was doing research online to see what I could take to help with the canker sores I would constantly get. All the articles pointed to taking L-lysine. Since I have been taking these pills by Now supplements I rarely ever get canker sores anymore. I take two every morning with my breakfast. These pills are not too big so they are easy to swallow. They also do not have any taste it after taste to them. If do get sores in my mouth I will up my dosage for a few days and the sores will quickly heal. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who gets lots of canker sores. Note - my 12 year old daughter also gets canker sores and I have given this to her and it has helped her as well. I have found it is best to take 2 pills daily in order to keep from getting sores.

This helps so much with fighting viruses. I cant tell if it helps with colds or not, but anything in the herpes family, it helps a lot. I cant have nuts or the CMV (cytomegalovirus, similar to mono) comes back, but if I counter-balance with this lysine, Im fine. It also has helped in treating shingles, which is unbelievably painful, and in preventing outbreaks. Someone gave me biscotti with only a few walnuts in it, and boom, shingles starting. Since using these with ANY arginine-rich foods, Ive been able to avoid getting any more. If anyone else is looking for shingles help, or anything in the herpes family, here is what has helped me the very most: 1. Lysine to compensate for arginine in foods. I use this brand and its perfect. 2. Durhams bee propolis supplement 3 times a day during an outbreak (but only if youre not allergic to bee stings). Or the queens delight, which contains propolis. 3. Vitamin C (I use this same brand in 1,000mg time release tablets) combined with green or black tea. Vitamin C on its own does not help. Tea on its own may or may not help. But when you combine the two, they help a LOT. If you feel the tingling of an outbreak looming, if you do enough tea & C quickly enough, the lesion will never even form! 4. Durhams wonder salve stops lesions from spreading and reduces pain and itching on existing lesions. 5. Vitamin C serum - yes the same kind people use for wrinkles and anti aging - apply this directly to the lesion. I may stop using the wonder salve, as the vitamin C serum seems to work faster. I had an especially stubborn lesion on my ankle that was not responding to the propolis salve (wonder salve), so on a whim, I tried the vitamin C serum I normally use on my face to prevent wrinkles. That stubborn lesion/scar had been itching and burning for weeks after the lesion appeared healed. The C serum cleared it the rest of the way in a few days. I hope this information helps someone else. This particular product (Now Foods Lysine) and their time-released vitamin C are invaluable tools in my Arsenal to fight any viruses in the herpes family, all of which stay with you for life.

When I received this I started taking 2-3 a day to help my immune system. After a week or so, I started breaking out badly - deep big zits on my chin. I looked it up and zits on your chin can indicate kidney imbalance and a side effect of L-lysine is kidney failure. So please take with caution and lots of water. Once I stopped taking it, my zits cleared up within a week.

I ordered these after reading a peer reviewed article discussing the benefits of taking L-Lysine along with iron or vitamin D. I had bariatric surgery over twenty years ago and I struggle to maintain my iron and D levels. I started taking these as soon as the shipment arrived and last month, my labs showed a remarkable improvement! I am going to continue my regimen and see what my next lab report shows. I am just amazed that after spending so much money on a variety of supplements, to discover that all I needed was to add L-Lysine to my regimen!

My doctor told me that if I was getting sick or ever thought I was getting shingles or a cold sore to take 1500mg L-Lysene twice a day -OR- 1000mg three times a day with a strong dose of vitamin C. Although I cannot be sure, I thought I was getting the shingles about 2 years ago & immediately began the L-Lysene 1500mg twice a day with vitamin C & it cleared up. Having been a nurse for many years, I have seen & heard about shingles & feel sure that is what I was getting.

I am a 28 year old male, who has had canker sores since I can remember. I seem to always get them whenever I binge on sugar (candy/soda) and sometimes will get them 2-3 at a time and they would last for weeks. I have tried all of the home-remedies over the years, some work better than others but nothing has really been my cure. I read online that Lysine helps some people with canker sores, so I figured I would give this a shot since nothing else seems to work. I actually purchased this bottle almost a year ago and have been testing it out since then. I take these pills maybe 1-2 times a week just normally, but the moment I feel a canker sore coming on, I take 3 capsules a day for a few days and every time the canker sore goes away without fully developing! You canker sore people know the drill, you get that feeling in your mouth of a canker sore coming on, and within a few days its a full-blown pain in your mouth for weeks to come. This has worked for me about a half dozen times now where the canker sore just doesnt develop! If you have tried everything else but Lysine, then I recommend trying out this solution. It may not be your cure-all, but I never thought I would find mine until stumbling on Lysine and am so relieved that I did.

So i tried the same brand 1000 mg tablet and have choked every time I try to take it. I will happily go back to these capsules! I can double up if I’m having an outbreak, or I can open the capsule and put it in milk if my child is having one. It doesn’t hurt. It’s wonderful. It really cuts down on fever blister and shingles healing time.

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.

Product is as advertised and arrived on time in good condition. We use two of these capsules every day so find the large size convenient.
