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.

Now Lysine is really good and its price point is very competitive with other brands of lysine that are on the market. I have always had a good experience with Now Lysine products and I would recommend them and I would recommend their lysine product.

Great to take if you get shingles.

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

This works very well for us, keeps cold sores from developing or helps so much if they do. I am prone to shingles so taking this product everyday helps keep that under control. I gave 4 stars only because I ordered a bottle on Oct. 28 and have not received it, was not in the box with other items. Havent been successful in getting another sent so Im re-ordering as we dont want to be without it.

Guess its working. Dont see visible results.

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.

I have been taking one a day for about a month. Last week a had a pretty severe cold and knew i was going to end up with at least one cold sore. Sure enough, two started to develop so I upped my lysine to 3 or 4 day day. The cold sores went away within TWO DAYS! Those of you that suffer from cold sores know that they would normally last a week or two. I am so happy! I know that lysine works to help your body fight viruses like cold sores, and it really showed. Both of my cold sores began to die and shrink before they even got to the scabbing phase.

I gave this to my dog per vets advice. He was on medication which brought down his immune system and caused some other issues. We have since gotten him off the other medication and have been giving him 1000mg/day for 3 weeks and his issues have cleared up. I have also been able to start giving this to our puppy who is having issues as his immune system has not fully developed yet. My puppys issues have cleared up as well within 2 weeks of starting this.

I use this product to protect my cat family from sinus infections and it works very well. The product is well priced and promptly shipped. Thank you
