NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

Been using this for years... NOW is a great, reliable company. I take it occasionally when my body needs it, but mostly use it for rescue cats that need the immunity boost due to various ailments/conditions, including respiratory issues, viruses evidenced by other symptoms, lip blisters, etc. The gelatin capsule is easily separated to release the powder into wet food, liquids, etc. Great price, as well.

great stuff

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

Great for immune support. Reasonably priced.

I bought the larger count size and was going to send it back and purchase a smaller bottle. My husband takes the L-Lysine also and we both take it daily. We like the Now brand so I will not be returning it. We purchase the Now products in other supplements and would not change.

I was having severe dizzy spells, and it was NOT available in my area; so grateful I could get and it has worked.

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

In the late 1970s, I worked in a hospital laboratory. My job was computers in a white room, particulate matter, temperature and humidity controlled. After one year of eating my hospital lunch and dinner on, what I didnt know at the time, the 6AM specimen cart for a 550 bed hospital; I got a recurring cyst between my eye brows. The Pathologist directed me to the best of the best dermatologist and he shoot it every month with some liquid. It worked for about 3 weeks, and again it would appear. I researched the issue (in the medical library), and found Lysine was the answer. Months later, I told the dermatologist of how it healed it within a day or so (500 mg caps). Saw my co-worker that used the same table 20 years later, he had the exact same cyst; what I call the Lysine Flush worked within 24 hours. After 20 years, it went away. The dermatologist stated (early 1980s), nothing in the medical journals indicated that herbies viruses were detectable in either of two areas, one of which being lips. To make the long story short, the one day Lysine Flush works better than prescribed medicines, it works like a charm. Last year, the ophthalmologist noted a sudden loss of vision in one eye--I did the Lysine Flush again and on the return visit, he said he had never seen the issue disappear in his career. It was the Lysine Flush (Now Brand). I normally do not take Lysine, but believe it may work as a prophylactic against more recent viruses. The flush I use, but not being a physician, take 2000 mg per day during these special times. Works on the flu, so I figure, only as a prophylactic it might help on a daily basis to slightly reduce health risks--especially when I venture out into the outside world. Take care and be safe.

I purchase many NOW products. Tried this lysine product on cats who take this supplement daily, vital for their compromised immune systems. Unfortunately, it did NOT work well, as with most other lysine brands. The cats started showing symptoms of their chronic infections a few days later. After putting them back on the other (more expensive brand) they went back to remission.... Every family member takes 2,000 mg of lysine daily, so we rather pay a little more money on a brand that works well on cats as our control group. To be fair to NOW, the fact that their lysine does not work well in cats, does not necessarily mean that it will not work well in humans -but for me, it is a semi-scientific observational indication to stay on a brand that works well in our control group

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.
