+ large dose in a single tablet (1000mg)+ completely neutral taste and no aftertaste+ 2 months supply for a bargain price+ convenient and compact container- large size of the pill (9x9x23mm)Not very well known but crucial amino acid for growing kids and everyone with an active lifestyle, whether it's doing sports or working in physically demanding occupations. Recommended daily dose (from meals and supplements combined) is 30-35mg for every kg of body weight so 1000mg in a single tablet is a great help in supplementing your diet.Approx. £6 for 2 months supply (for 1 person) if pretty cheap and included container really convenient but these tablets are among the biggest I've encountered: 9x9x23mm may make them difficult to swallow for non-adults.To summarize, for all the active people taking care of their health this product will help deal with tough psysical tasks, building and repairing muscles, even speeding up the recovery after injuries. True all-rounder for everyone burning through calories at full speed. Highly recommended.Protip: Lysine works best when combined with vitamin C so either supplement it as well or include citrus fruits in your daily menu.

So I don't usually write reviews on here but this product works so well this is my 4th buying it so I thought I might as well just review it. It's gonna be long tho.I used to suffer from cold sores from the moment my mom gave them to me and it has always been a struggle. They would show up often enough to be a real problem but not too often so I never figured out a way to fight them in time. I tried all sorts of stuff from creams and patches to literal cloves of raw garlic pressed against my lip. I don't know how I got to try lysine but I read somewhere it helps so I got it and oh my god. Not a single sore in years!If you are a regular sore enthusiast then you know the tingly, warm feeling you get when one is about to appear. This is exactly when you take a pill! And if I do something super adventurous like (god forbid) eat one spicy wing, then I act double the strength and take one of them pills + put some sores cream. I keep a case in my pocket anywhere I go. Works wonders. I know it might not work like that for everyone, but try cause it might work like that for you. Also lysing helps absorb calcium so even if you still end up with a sore, you will have bones strong like a horse.And yeah, the pills are quite big but you can break them into smaller bits if you're prone to choking.

Absolutely fantastic. I’m prone to cold sores and rely on lysine to prevent and shorten outbreaks. These tables are fantastic and are a lot cheaper than most brands. Ive ordered these about 4 times now and wouldn’t use anything else.However, the tablets are HUGE in size which makes no difference to me, but they could be cut in half if you struggle.

i got these because i heard they can treat coldsores - taking "health food Guru's" advice on here, he/she states:Lysine is the amino acid that stops the herpes simplex viruses dead in their tracks.You need 6g of lysine plus 50mg zinc gluconate (must be gluconate) at the first sign of a cold-sore, or HSV2, coming. 6g stops the virus dead in its tracks. Zinc boosts the immune system.If you’ve already broken out, the same dose, every day until it’s gone, works very well. Obv better to stop it at the first tingle. The zinc helps heal damaged skin. Then 1-2g lysine a day as a maintenance dose, but the poster who said one 1g in the morning and 1g later in the day to get rid of an attack is misinformed. 2g won’t stop an attack from breaking through if it’s already giving you warning signs. It’s 6g to get rid of, or stop, an attack of herpes, whether it’s cold-sores or the other type. 1-2g a day as a maintenance dose, 6g a day (in one dose) to kill it off.so i take 6 ! of these at first sign of a cold sore with Zinc and it certainly stops it in its tracks. Very large and hard to swallow but take your time and it will be ok.

I have a life before lysine with constant cold sores on a loop. Then I have a life after lysine without any cold sores. These work, but point to note, you have to take them at least 3 times a week, EVERY week for them to be effective.I’m constantly kicking myself when I have a cold sore due to my own negligence. If you suffer with cold sores and take these pills 3 times a week you will never have a cold sore again.I’ve since set a reminder that goes off each night to remind me to take it.If you’ve been in cold sore misery for months or years, try this amino acid. It really does work. ‘Transformed my life after suffering for years. I know it sounds melodramatic, but lysine has improved my quality of life year-on-year when I no longer have cold sores.I’m not a scientist, but I understand lysine is derived from pork. I’m not sure how much pork you would need to eat to absorb enough lysine to prevent the sores. I do not eat meat, but have done in my early life, however, always disliked pork.Taking these tablets is so much easier. Kiss cold sores goodbye and have the confidence to kiss anyone you want to (if they let you) without a scabby lip…!

Good

Taking 1 whilst my cold sore was in full on nasty gunky mode, definitely helped. The next day it was significantly smaller, like it had healed considerably overnight.However, the physical and mental torment that came with swallowing such a massive pill is hard to contend with. It really is huge. I felt it go down my throat and then briefly get stuck there as I had to swallow it down harder. It was, as I say, mentally just as horrid as it was physically, to feel it stuck there. You could not pay me any amount of money to take these tablets as a preventative measure on the off-chance that I’d get a cold sore without them. They are too big. But they do work against cold sores even when they’re at their worst.
