User Reviews for lysine

I have had this condition for about 9 years, and discovered the lysine pills about 5 years ago. They work great! I take 500 mg every morning for suppresion. Since the pills are so large i always take them with a thicker liquid like a smoothie or V8 juice, and that works awesome. The only time i ever feel an outbreak come on, is when i have forgotten to take the lysine. I highly reccomend this! Its such a lifesaver.

After almost 20 years of using Valtrex to reduce the outbreak length I recently tried Lycine and was shocked and how much better it worked than the prescription alternative. Not only was the outbreak nice and short but the flu like symptoms were 90% reduced and I had the energy to carry on my normal life.

The pills are kind of large. (1000 mg.) Is there a soft gel L-Lysine.. and what's the name of the cream?? Is the cream more effective on herpes or is the pills.?

When I feel a colds sore coming on I take 1,000mg twice a day and it never develops into a sore. After about 2 days it is completely gone. Amazing cold sore treatment. Take it when you first feel a tingling and it works

I was taking acyclovir for prevention of cold sores. I get them monthly and have are all over my lips and up into my nose. Acyclovir is very expensive. When I read L-lysine is helpful in preventing cold sores, I switched. It works wonderfully. If I forget to take L-lysine for two days or so - wham - I get one.

helped sometimes but when they finally got you they were worse than ever - will never use again

Easy and effective. .

After I take lysine to prevent it I get them. Lys one caused me to get them. And they take even longer to go away now.

I take this for depression and it has made a marked difference. I take between 4 and 5 thousand milligrams a day, sometimes more. I cry a lot more when I dont take it. Doesnt seem plausible, but I have noticed a correlation over a number of years, so I believe its valid.

There is nothing more effective than lysine for fever HSV fever blisters. It can literally halt an outbreak if taken upon the first sensation of an outbreak. Iv'e been following the herpes diet based on lysine (good) and arginine (bad) and outbreaks for the past 10 years have been near nonexistent. previously I had an outbreak of fever blisters every month at least.

I had hpv and genital warts. Doctor told me to take this after she treated my warts. So far, wart free. How effective is this item, I really don't know. Its not back by a study, so can't say. But for me, I feel that it works. I've been using it for 6 months or so.

Lysine changed my life. I've been getting bad cold sores for the last 6 years. I started taking Lysine a year ago, and have not got one since. I take 1 pill in the morning everyday with vitamins..awesome!

You can try taking a daily supplement to prevent outbreaks. I think the recommended amount is 1000mg daily. Some people take a much higher dose during outbreaks up to 3000-4000mg. My experience has been that one daily supplement reduces the severity of the outbreaks. But everyone reacts differently so it's best to try different amounts to see what works best for you.

Wow all I have to say I had herpes for 4years now. I startedx taking lysine and vitamin c in july I can't believe this I haven't had a outbreak I even had skipped days of taking it. I only take 1000 grams of lysine and 500grams of vitiaman c a day never up my dosage I even forget to take them but when I'm about to start my period I make sure I take them everyday cause that's when I usually get a outbreak please try this if it dosent work keep taking it u might have to boast you.protien levels up everybody body is different . Its October 1 I haven't had a outbreak thank u lord God is good nothing like taking healthy stuff to help uRead More Read Less

I take one 1000mg tablet a day and never have an outbreak. It's awesome and I will continue to spread the word! People might think that it doesn't work cause it's non prescription or just a simple vitamin, but it works wonders!
