User Reviews for lysine

As soon as you feel one coming on NO LONGER TOUCH IT. Take the lysine and depending on how a severe one you would have been getting will be so much smaller and the fire or burning will be almost gone. Also your blister will be gone so much faster you will be amazed. I take 3 tablets of 1000mg. I was told you can take up to 5 tablets. Very important they are highly contageous to anyone you kiss and to other parts of your body (ladies)when taking a shower. You can get the vaginal herpies if you are not careful when you are infected with the virus. Thank God for Lysine tablets. I finally found out about Lysine about 20 years ago. I've been getting them about 50 years. I've had some really serious outbreaks as ayounger person. I didn't know about it then BUT, I know about it now and I tell anyone I see about Lysine and how great it works. The liquid on me agh, didn't do much but the tablets great. Good Luck Read More Read Less

I am so glad that I found that Lysine helps relieve symptoms of HSV. It works really well for me and I suggest before buying those expensive meds (i.e. acyclovir, valtrex) please pick up a bottle of inexpensive L-Lysine. This works wonder. Thank you nature for your natural remedies.

I started taking lysine at my daughters prompting. We have a sensitivity to acidic foods and get cold sores after eating much of them. After I started taking lysine the outbreaks were next to never. I love this stuff.

I began using Lysine 5 years ago due to a bad outbreak of cold sores. I had suffered cold sores all my life several times a year but this was one of my worst outbreaks and I had tried everything else to heal them, my pharmacist recommended L-Lysine ointment and told me others had said that taking the supplement reduced the outbreaks so I decided to try that too. The next day the ointment had cut the pain by at least 50% and in 3 days the cold sores were gone. In the 5 years I have been taking the Lysine supplement I have not had another cold sore nor have I had a cold, and I have not experienced any side effects at all. I had had 3 or 4 colds every year and numerous outbreaks of cold sores and using Lysine is the only thing I have done different that would have changed this. I told a friend about it as she had the same problem I had and she too has not had another cold sore or cold in the past 3 years and no side effects. I take 500 MG on a daily basis but when I know I have been exposed to a virus I increase the dose to 1000MG. All I can say is that Lysine has worked wonders for me and it doesn't interfer with other medications I take, which are only 2 different ones. It is easy to use and for me very effective.Read More Read Less

my sisters told me about this vitemen. ive always had cold sores. this really worked. taking 3 to 4 times a day . for 4 days. it cleared it right up. im so glad i found it.

Woke up one afternoon after feeling totally run down, with a fever blister that looked badly and keep getting worse. Family told me to use the lysine to help get rid of the fever blister faster after 2 dose started to go away!

For the first time - after taking a dosage of 3000 mg, I woke up with a red, red, red face.

Male with genital herpes. L-Lysine has Managed most of the herpes problems for me. It's all most like a cure ; I wish it was.

No sure if it helped or not?

First day of cold sore outbreak, I start taking 1,000 mg of Lysine 3-4 times a day for 5-7 days. The cold sore never progresses, itching stops by the end of the 1st day. My husband also uses it with the same protocol. I buy higher quality with no fillers...Pure Encapsulations.

I am back to report that I did find lysine to be more effective and much less expensive than valtrex. I took 3000-4000mg at signs of outbreak for 7-10 days to prevent the outbreak, but what was really my problem was Diet, I found a website that was clear on the foods that was causing me to have frequent outbreaks eventhough lysine was clearing it up faster but they were frequent because I was eatting high arginine foods that feed the virus. I has to stop eatting chocolate, peanuts,cashews, sesame seeds and almonds, brown wheat, brown rice, grapes and grape products, high sugar candies and snacks, oats, barley and granola bars, sunflower seeds, and spicy foods. Yes I had to stop eatting all of that stuff I just listed to stop the frequent outbreaks. I use a pill crusher to make a powder which is tasteless and easier to swallow. I hope this info is helpful, please change your diet and take the supplement. Many articles are criticizing natural products but they are just backed by drug companies and only interested in pushing expensive meds I can not afford. You can still eat these high arginine foods but then you have to increase your lysine intake to combat it. Change your Diet!!!!! and supplement too!Read More Read Less

Makes me relapse. I have epsteinbarr virus and fibromylagia... as far as I know.

I HAVE SHINGLES IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I TRY THIS TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP STOP THE BURNING SENSATION? IT WA RECCOMENDED BY A FRIEND & OK BY MY GP !

Taking 1000mg AM and 1000mg PM seems to prevent cold sores for me, which have been a lifelong problem, especially during times of stress.

I have to take it everyday to prevent cold sores. Works very effectively! I use Free form by Whole Foods, tried others but they were not as digestible.

I've used this treatment for 30 years, and have not had a cold sore get past the tingling stage in 20. Other amino acids can counteract the effect, especially l-arginine, so be careful if you're taking body building supplements (which often include this amino acid).

I develope styes four to five times a year. I wash my eyes daily with baby shampoo and additionally, when I knows a stye is developing, will take two tablets of L Lysine: one a.m. and one p.m. Caught early the stye does not fully develope and the inflammation is significantly reduced in 24 hours.

I have only taken this treatment for about three days but have not shown signs of improvement.. Do i need to try another type??

I start to take it for cold sore and cleared UTI!!!!!!!

upon symptoms of coldsores I take 4-5000mgs of l-lysen daily until symptoms improve. Usually within 3 days I see a significant diffrence. I have only ever had cold sores no more than 3 times in my life.
