User Reviews for lysine

I have used Lysine for a week and it cleared up my outbreak without it turning into a blister. I felt the tingle on my lip, but it never developed.

after asking a nurse how I could prevent those nasty little blisters in the corner of my mouth, she said 'get some L-Lysine'. I did and it worked, later applied to outbreak of fever blisters, or cold sores on my lips. The very moment I felt one starting, I took lysine and it would kill it. But if you wait too long to use it, it's not near as effective. I have Sjogrens Syndrome where I get ulcers inside my mouth and on my tongue. Taking Lysine soon enough will ward off this painful condition or make it go away. I've also been carrying with me, Lysine ointment to soften and soothe lips. I can't stress enough the fact that L-Lysine is wonderful! There are two strengths, 500 and 1000. I quit messing with the lower dose. Lysine also helps to relieve skin conditions, itchiness and rashes.Read More Read Less

no more canker soars

Was having horrible, painful apthous ulcers (canker sores - NOT herpes, not blisters, but ulcers) in my mouth 2 times a year (fall and spring) that would last for 2-3 months. My dentist suggested a lysine supplement, and the duration has greatly decreased.

Taking for chest pain and discomfort. Eliminates symptoms.

My vet told me to give my cats/kittens 250 milligrams a day to help them build immunity to feline herpes of the eye.So far its working.

After taking Lysine for a couple of weeks, I noticed that my outbreaks were less. I take it on a daily basis to avoid any more outbreaks.

I take 1000mg of L-Lysing am and pm, if taken eairly enough symptoms go away without sores. If taken after sores are present, they go away usually in a day or so. Reduces number of sores. I have found that cantalope or peanut butter brings on outbreaks.

I use Lysine daily with Acyclovir and it works great to prevent outbreaks. I've taken this for about 6 months and have been outbreak free with a few rashes here and there. If i up the lysine to 1500 mg (i usually take 1000 mg) during a rash it goes away within a day or two. I take this with Echinacea and Vitamin C daily
