Let me start this off with every person is different. I'm assuming this will work similar with other people as it has with me though.<br />Ok, now to the review. I have gotten cold sores since... well since as far back as I can remember. I'm almost 21 years old now and I am very self-conscious about having cold sores. It gives me such bad anxiety and I get panic attacks and blehh... it's not good. Frankly, it makes me want to hide away and just never go out ever again. I used to get cold sores every month or so, and sometimes 2+ times a month in the winter. It devastated me. I heard about lysine from my doctor because I couldn't afford to keep up the prescribed stuff and he said that Lysine would be better because it's preventative and still helps get rid of them when happen to get a cold sore. I ordered this quite a while ago and started taking 1 pill twice a day. I didn't have any cold sores. At all. When winter first started this year, I went to visit family in california and got sick from them. I was stressing out about a lot of things (the possibility of getting a cold sore was one of the main stressors), so of course, I got a cold sore. I started taking 2 pills 3 times a day. I'm sure if it was possible to overdose on this, I would have. The cold sore went through its normal cycle, but a lot quicker. Winter isn't over yet, so I've been taking 2 pills twice a day and I haven't had one again (yet). I really owe so much to L-Lysine.<br />I know this was a long review, but I hope it helps someone. And I really hope that L-Lysine will help you like it has me. You don't even have to buy it from this seller. (I just did because it was cheaper haha) Good luck and Godspeed!!

Stress causes &#34;cold sores&#34; or herpes simplex outbreaks for me on my corneas. So far, I have had to have two cornea transplants, because the scaring renders me blind. I have tried several products, but this one is the best. I have experienced extreme stress during the last month (my beloved mother died, etc.) and I had no outbreak. Thank you for your fantastic product!!!!

If you take 2000mg a day of this stuff, you will never get a cold or flu ever again. But you do have to take it every day. I would say it's worth it since I've been taking it over 10 years and have never been sick!

L-lysine is an important and indispensable component of proteins. As previously mentioned, it plays a role in the production of carnitine and collagen. Its benefits include:<br />Promotes normal growth and development by increasing collagen formation<br />Supports the production of other proteins like enzymes, antibodies and hormones<br />Promotes bone health by increasing calcium absorption; prevents osteoporosis or weak bones by reducing bone loss<br />Helps convert fatty acids to energy, aiding in weight reduction<br />Helps lower bad cholesterol levels, thus reducing the risk for heart disease<br />Promotes skin health through increased collagen formation<br />May be used to treat viral infections like herpes simplex, cold sores, shingles,human papilloma virus (HPV) infection such as genital warts, and genital herpes<br />Can relieve migraines and other types of pain and inflammation<br />When taken with other nutrients like vitamin C, it can reduce chest pains (angina) related to heart disease<br />Helps in muscle building, when taken with other amino acids like arginine

This product has protected my immune system for as long as I've been taking it. My friends come down with colds and respiratory infections on a regular basis, but, even after having been around them, I'm still in good health. I am a very young 85 and have lots of energy. I read a lot and have always tended to get styes but I notice now that the sty may start but within a day, the itching is gone. I would not be without my L'lysine and my 1000mg vitamin C.

I have been taking Lysine for years for cold sores. It has never failed that taking 2000 mg immediately stops the cold sore and I end up with just a scab within 24 hours. My daughter first started taking this product and kept breaking out with more cold sores. I didn't think much about it until about 3 days ago, when I started getting a cold sore. I took 2 tablets (2000 mg) and 24 hours later it was not improved. Took another 2 tabs and waited another 24 hours. Still no change. Took a 3rd dose and no effect. This is not Lysine or at the very least not the amount described on the bottle. Edit to add, cold sore finally is clearing up, but as I said above, not as effective as other Lysine products I have purchased in the past.
