Description

NOW Foods L-Lysine 500mg is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone.

L-Lysine is also a precursor to L-carnitine, which is needed to support healthy fat metabolism and energy production. In addition, L-Lysine may help to support a healthy immune system and normal cardiovascular function. Natural colour variation may occur in this product.

Reviews

easy to swallow

"An easy to swallow tablet that is not too big. Usually I would try to get Lysine in a capsule as large tablets are very hard to swallow, but these are the exception. I highly recommend them."

— Nicola (5/5)

My L-lysine preventer

"This is what i take most days, to prevent cold sores. On the rare event i forget, and one pops up. I do take a stronger one, but for this price, it's a great reliever"

— Gemma F. (5/5)

Excellent

"I've tried many products, this one works & can be taken on empty stomach. I take it in tandem with Blackmore's Lypsine which is available here. Together they have stopped outbreaks and healed ones quickly. (make sure you stop eating chocolate & nuts when tingling starts). Unexpected bonus was they make me feel better. Lysine is an essential amino acid which carries out many functions so makes sense."

— Diana H. (5/5)

Does the trick

"Most effective lysine I've found to date. Stops them in their tracks. Or don't even happen. 👍"

— Justine (5/5)

Lysine

"This product is great, I find that taking Lysine daily helps to stop me getting Shingles, which I have had repeated bouts of over the last 6 years."

— Dianne C. (5/5)

Excellent

"I take 2 or 3 when run down, or get a tingle - nothing eventuates when usually it would have. I also cut out dark chocolate and nuts, as that helps. Highly recommend."

— Diana H. (4/5)

Disappointed

"While NOW Lysine is a much smaller tablet and therefore easier to swallow it is only 500mg and did nothing at all to lessen a cold sore break out. Even taking 3 a day made no improvement. Back to the other brands and bigger tablets!"

— Rose L. (1/5)
