NOW Supplements, L-Lysine (L-Lysine Hydrochloride) 500 mg, Amino Acid, 250 Tablets

Lysine helps my mouth, generally. I take extra when I have chapped lips or if I have a cut in my mouth...it really seems like things heal a little faster when I take this supplement. I've been taking this supplement for many years and have noticed no side effects at all. I had previously used this same brand of Lysine in 1000mg format, but the individual pills were just too big for me. I love the 500mg size, they are much easier to swallow and work just as well.

I would really enjoy if manuf. made pills smaller, with less filler, meaning, yeah, they'd have to have more accurate quality to ensure enough desired material was in each pill... but Im ready for that. I would pay 10-20% more, for a smaller pill.A pharmasict explained, by US rules (look it up for your own edification), in order to meet certain standards, each pill can be slightly differently effective, even in the same bottle. There is a permitted range of active ingredients allowed, meaning one pill could have less, another could have more. And also, some pills can not be recommended to be split, because of the literal location in the pill which the ingredients are dispersed. ... ha, "the more you know", right?Seems to be effective for my needs.There is a light sheen / gloss to them, so they're not slick, and dont disolve immediately on your tongue, which is good... just dont delay swallowing it!Interesting hinge lid design. I think i like it. Snaps shut with not much effort.... like a butter dish lid idea.

Good source of amino acids

Effective feels good.

I take lysine to prevent cold sores when I’ve eaten something I know causes them, or to make them not get big and to go away quickly if I do feel one coming.These are tablets though which are harder to swallow for me. I ordered because it said capsules. They’re not.I’ve used NOW brand often and these were packaged nicely and received quickly.

Good quality

Great product. Feel great

Take every day to prevent blisters around mouth. The strength is perfect. Easy to swallow with no taste.
