NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

My kids and I love this supplement. It seems kind of funny to review something like this since it is simply a staple in our house (and has been for years). My kids and I have a tendency towards canker sores (otherwise known as mouth ulcers). When we are consistently taking this everyday, no canker sores! My teen daughters are not great about consistently taking vitamins every day, but when they begin to develop a canker sore, they start taking L-Lysine and the canker sores go away. My younger daughter has a pretty intense orthodontic appliance in her mouth, which can easily cause sores on her cheeks. I think it is only because of consistently taking L-Lysine that she has been able to make it through this orthodontic process. This supplement is very inexpensive, odorless, and effective. All pros and no cons as far as our household is concerned.

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.

I take it for my immune system cause I have RA

When I search for NOW L Lysine 1000 mg it quickly comes up with a bottle that says 1000 mg. But when you click on it, it goes to the writing and it is changed into L Lysine 500 mg. I had this on auto ship but now have cancelled that order. I tried 2 times to talk to technical assistance and thought I had this corrected. But I got caught again. I do like the 1000 as that is the dosage the doctor had recommended for us. So for the price, it is more expensive because you are getting just half of what you think you are getting. If you want 1000 mg, you must take 2 tablets instead of just one.

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 an almost-two year old pup that recently contracted warts (thanks, dog park!). in her mouth and around her gum line. They were AWFUL looking and we were told by our vet that we would need to let her ride it out (as long as she was still eating/drinking regularly) so that she could build up antibodies to fight them off - otherwise there was the potential they could come back again. We did some research and found that Lysine could be a great way to help build up antibodies, and cut down on the recovery time (which ranges anywhere from one month to six months). When we received these, we opened the capsule and sprinkled one pill (500 MG) in her breakfast, and one pill during her nightly meal (we were using a wet food, so this was easier to make sure she didnt spit it out). Within five weeks, she was completely wart-clear, so we were so grateful to have come across this resource.

I have been taking this for years and not gotten one single cold sore.. where I used to get them all the time.. If you are bothered with constant cold sores this is the remedy for you.. only wish the capsules were a little smaller..

I bought this for a friend who had cold sores and he took some at the beginning of an outbreak and he says it went away in 3 days before blowing up to uncontrollable proportions. This is great. I have seen his bad days adn they are pretty bad. The situation usually doesnt go away for like 3 or 4 weeks but with this it went away in 3-5 days max. Since taking these he has also felt more hope and started a new diet. You have to take away l-arginine from your diet some way to help with the cold sores. So he has reduced this , you cant eliminate it completely because the arginine is an essential amino acid and your body needs it. The lysine, decreases arginine Ive read so it helps keep the cold sores at bay. Im glad it helped my friend, he was going through some tough times because of it. Try it, you never know. He has reported no side effects.

I like taking this product. I purchased this mainly for my skin. I read online the benefits of taking lysine for battling against fine lines and wrinkles as well as clearing acne and for cold sores. I thought wow this would be awesome to take since I have developed cystic acne recently. I started taking this almost two weeks ago for 3 times a day and I can see a change in my skin as I do not get as much cystic acne as before and my skin is a little more clear. Im not able to rule out this product as the cause of having less acne issues because I was also taking IntestinePro, Bioschwartz colon cleanser and the Mario Badescu buffering lotion. Maybe all the combinations of medicine and detoxing helped. Im not sure but I will continue taking this product since Lysine has many other benefits. The price is so convenient as it is only $10 and the bottle is huge consisting of 250 capsules. Worth the money.

So far so good, I bought it to help with acne and treat it a more natural way, I was on antibiotics for years and it would work on and off. So I did my research about supplements that directly help with skin and work from the inside, Im giving this a 4/5 starts because Ive only been on it for 2 weeks and my skin as been clearling up however, I cant directly say its from l-lysine. I believe it helps with in combination with some other vitamins Im taking
