NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Ive ordered these easy-to-swallow capsules L-Lysine from Amazon for several years. I am thankful to be able to depend upon Amazon to provide this great value pack for me. Thank you.

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.

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

Great to take if you get shingles.

I take it for my immune system cause I have RA

L-lysine is a great supplement that a lot of people dont even know they should be taking. Ive taken Lysine supplements off and on for several years, recently I kept getting weird sores in my mouth so I bought these Now Foods Lysine supplements and within about a week or so they were gone and havent returned after several months. Lysine is good for several things in your body, its an essential amino acid, its great for your skin among other things. Now Foods have always been a great dependable brand with low prices, I know I can trust almost any of their supplements.

good value

I was turned onto Lysine-L supplements by my hygienist and its been life-changing. Basically never get them anymore after suffering from them my whole life. Make sure to get this capsule version--there are tablets out there but they dont go down as easily. Ive taken two capsules a day for a few years and have had no adverse side effects or changes to my annual blood work.

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.
