NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

I take 1500(3) day before I go to sleep along with other Amino Acids. It’s considered an antiviral.

Another excellent product from Now. I use their Niacin, Arginine/ Ornithine amino combo, and many other supplements. I am very pleased with this supplement. It is hard to find the branch chains together in high mg. I prefer to buy the separately for that reason. This product contains 500 mg of L-Lysine. Lysine is an amino acid that our bodies cant produce but that is essential for human health.L-lysine is important for proper growth and it supports other amino acids in converting fatty acids into energy and helping to decrease bad cholesterol. Some scientific studies indicate that lysine aids in calcium absorption and it is important to maintain healthy connective tissue. Lysine is especially good for athletes and is thought to help improve endurance and recovery. Many report that it has helped them with problems associated with osteoporosis. It is also recommended by many for the prevention and control of cold sores. I use this to try and increase my natural levels of HGH. I feel younger and have more energy while taking this product. I always receive high quality products form NOW, and I really trust this brand the most.

I struggled with hormonal acne and saw that this product was recommended for an off label use to treat it. I was in the middle of a nasty breakout along my chin when I started this product. Within 2 days all my active pimples started to dry up and go away. After about 10 days of use I didn’t have any break outs. I take one 500mg capsule three times a day (with every meal). This product has done an amazing job at keeping my hormonal acne away.

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..

When I am not taking this daily I can start to feel run down, need a nap. Seems to help my immune system.

Guess its working. Dont see visible results.

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

I’ve never heard of this brand before, but it seemed to look pretty decent for the price. I definitely wouldn’t buy this brand for say calcium or iron. I’d buy a reputable brand for that. This was recommended to me for cold sore prevention and I didn’t see much of a difference. L-lysine is supposed to aid I’m immune health in turn helping with cold sores. So why did I give three stars? Other than the effectiveness against my problem, I can’t really give a bad review for it not working for me. This isn’t making any “claims” for what I wanted to use it for. HOWEVER the bottle cap just pops off to open. Not really safe for someone who has kids, or someone with mental disabilities. Obviously this isn’t going to hurt you, but it’s a choking hazard. I’d like it to at least have a twist off cap. Maybe some think I’m too cautious, but still.

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 vocal therapist put me on this to strengthen the vocal chords as I have some inflammation and weak chords. Ive noticed improvement but one thing I didnt expect was this stuff actually has helped reduce my general anxiety. I am a big fan of the quality and price point of NOW Foods supplements and will continue using this. Especially after I learned the body needs this supplement but cant produce it naturally so you either need to get it from foods or through supplements. The more you know!
