Solgar L-Lysine 500mg Vegetable Capsules - Pack of 50 - Essential Amino Acid - Vegan, Vegetarian, Kosher

Fab for prevention of cold sores.

A very potent brand indeed; and I absolutely LOVE the glass bottle packaging. Since taking L-Lysine (which has only been a week lol) I can honestly say that I have noticed that my terrible stomach cramps have subsided tremendously. I use to have a horrible tightness in my stomach hours after I ate, and at night I HAD TO religiously drink a hot tea before bed to avoid feeling tight chested and cramping throughout the night. I'm sooooo happy to say that since taking these tablets I have not had ONE uncomfortable digestive feeling AT ALL - its as if me IBS has totally disappeared. I can't remember the last time my digestive system felt this calm, normal and full of health. Thank you soooo much Solgar for this brand of L-Lysine, I will defo be ordering a BIGGER bottle the next time. This is for me is now too good an amino (and brand) to live without. It's absolutely brilliant.I have also ordered (after discovering how amaaaazing this amino product is) a bottle of 'essential amino 75' by Solgar. It has all the essential amino's that the body needs, but cannot make itself. They contains 75mg each of L-Lysine (my favourite), L-Leucine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Valine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine and L-Threonine. I'm not sure what physical, mental or emotional differences I may find by taking this product, but I am looking forward to finding out.P.S - I have also noticed that since taking L-Lysine that my mood IS more steady, I feel a lot more clear headed and much lighter on my feet. Something tells me I must have been TOTALLY deficient in L-Lysine. If taking my amino 75 adds to this health an clarity I will have truly found my two sets of life long pills (as I will always now buy myself a bottle of Solgar L-Lysine). I still can't believe that my search for better health could now be all over.P.P.S - the way I take my amino pill(s) is at night before I go to bed on an empty stomach. I make sure I wait at least 1 to 2 hours after eating before taking, then wash it down with filtered water or green drink.I hope everyone has as great a result as I have had, and from what I have read in previous comments. I only wish I could have given this product a thousand more stars.

Very good, it works

Bought these to help me lose weight and get more healthy

This was my first ever purchase of L-Lysine so I was very interested to see if it would help with my tingling sensation I was experiencing on my 'stache area. Docs said I am developing a cold sore/herpes simplex virus/fever blisters so I rushed onto Amazon and ordered the top rated L-Lysine tablets I could find for next day delivery. I took 1-2 tablets a day for a week and I am happy to say I did not grow the nasty spot! However, I experienced numbness and a tingly feeling (had it before I took these)all over my 'stache area and after a week it went. I believe these tablets helped my immune system fight off the nasty spot so I am happy with my purchase and will buy more!Only downside is that these tablets are HUGE, so not great for people that can't swollow big things. Also, a little pricey but still I'd rather pay up than suffer from a disgusting spot.

this is an amazing product, from someone who suffered/suffers from weird cold sore type lesions on my mouth, this literally took away all source of pain. It all started in the summer of 2005/6? when in the UK we all had that crazy summer. As an Indian girl i lapped up the attention the sun was giving me, I loved every minute, and then all of a sudden i started getting tingling sensations that worsened as the summer went on. I was struck with intestinal fear as the cold sores on my face soon started to expand and become worse. Nothing could take away the scrutinising anguish I felt when the sun use to come out and i would have to hide away. All the usual commercial products weren't cutting it for me, they were making it worse. Those things don't contain true healing ingredients anyway.. so i did my research, changed my diet and found a lessening of the symptoms, but no true eradication.. anyway, back in 2013! I was going to India with my partner and mother, and low and behold, the fear came back! 2013 brought back the cold sore symptoms that the previous year’s hadn't seen for a while, although not as bad as 2005/6!.. I then found the Solgar L-Lysine product. When i purchased it I had only a few days left to receive it before I went off to my hols and I was so anxious to get it on time, and it finally arrived to such great relief. Well i never had used a product that had taken away such a tangible symptom before so rapidly. I truly rate this product, and it has made me research into l-lysine furthermore and what my body particularly needs it. I enjoyed the summer of 2013, in the 40 degrees hot Indian summer, there was no cold sore to be seen. It is my new deity!

Best lysine I have purchased.

L-lysine is an amino acid with many beneficial health effects.It may help with everything from cancer to eye health.I buy it to prevent cold sores for ever appearing. Have a jar at home as it needs to be taken with the first sign of symptoms (tingling, pain). 1gram 3x a day and the cold sore will never appear! If you don’t catch the sore from first signs take it anyways as it makes it heal faster.Now to why only 3 stars. I am very disappointed that Solgar, a reputable supplement brand, is still behind with their formulations. There is no need for these bulking and glazing agents in your supplements!The tablet is also quite large and with sharp edges so definitely not easy to swallow.If you want to stick with Solgar then I recommend buying the 500mg L-lysine as they are small capsules.I recently bought Pure Encapsulations L-lysine as it has far fever unnecessary ingredients and it’s a small capsule that is easy to take.
