NOW L-lysine 500 mg, 250 Capsules

When I received this I started taking 2-3 a day to help my immune system. After a week or so, I started breaking out badly - deep big zits on my chin. I looked it up and zits on your chin can indicate kidney imbalance and a side effect of L-lysine is kidney failure. So please take with caution and lots of water. Once I stopped taking it, my zits cleared up within a week.

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.

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.

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.

use this for my cats eyes, relieves any symptoms of dry irritated red eyes. If she does not have this she squints, eyes draining. worked also for my white cats eyes which are goopy with crusty eyes. her eyes are beautiful and clean with this. I open one capsule/day between the morning and evening, sprinkling the contents of this one capsule and mix into moist food. averaging 250 per cat per day per cat internist. a must for their eye health. recently I have started taking again for myself daily cant hurt

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.

We have used L-Lysine for years at the first tingling of an on coming canker soar I take 2 or 3 and never come to a full soar, if I dont catch it right away it starts then gotta keep after the L-Lysine for a couple of days till its goes away it is also very good for your skin I am 72 and I get lots of compliments on my skin.

Long story short, I’ve been taking this L-lysine for about 8-9 months only once a day and sometimes I’d skip a day when I forgot. I went to the doctor for my bloodwork a little over 4 months ago and it came back that I have high cholesterol. That’s very weird for me because we have no family history of this in my family, I’m a good weight, exercise and eat a pretty healthy and balanced diet. After researching and then calling my doctor with the news, I stopped taking L-lysine because I found that it can raise your bad cholesterol and it should only be taken 3-4 weeks MAX. It’s been a little over 4 months now and I’m happy to say that my cholesterol is now back to normal, the only change I made was I stopped taking the L-lysine supplement. I’m sure it can help people, but I do warn you to only take it for up to a month and then take a long break in between. Hopefully, no one has this happen to them and hopefully I have no permanent damage or issues later on because of it. God bless!

Good for your skin and immune system. If you get cold sores and such. A regimen of l-lysine is a must. I love this brand, as soon as I feel the tingle of a cold sore, I raise my dose and usually never get one, while also using a lysine based lip balm. Zinc and generally eating healthy and other good supplements for the immune system.

great stuff
