L-Lysine Reviews

Show: for
1000 MG per day... not a cure
i just watch what i eat and watch my stress levels.and take my vitamins everyday. if u take L-Lysine on an empty stomache it will nip it right in the bud. Also if u eat flounder fish helps out great!
best to take at night cause it is hard on the stomach... works pretty well as a suppresant
Working / Worked
I take 2 500mg capsules (Better Health Brand - no soy!) twice a day.
I take 1000mg everyday. It seems to work well.
I go though periods of taking this daily, when I'm stressed and if I feel the inkling of something rearing it's ugly head. Seems to help.
Time heals all wounds.
i think so, no out breaks in a month so i think its still too early to tell
Take it every day.
I am blessed to be primarily asymptomatic, but do take L-Lysine as well as vitamins to boost immune system
