Product description
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone. L-Lysine is also a precursor to L-carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production, which can support good health. In addition, L-Lysine supports a healthy immune system helping to fight cold sores. This double strength 1000mg tablet is ideal for tougher and recurring cold sore sufferers, and those dealing with more serious concerns of bone health and family history of osteoporosis. Our NOW natural and organic Supplements are an effective way to ensure you and your loved ones are getting essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients for daily optimal health. Since 2000, the NOW brand has been supporting Canadians with a mission to provide products that empower people to lead healthier lives. 70% of the NOW products in Canada are made or packaged in Guelph, Ontario, employing hundreds of Canadians from coast to coast. NOW performs 31,000 quality tests every month to ensure you get the highest quality supplements at the best price possible. Our promise - what is on the label, is precisely what is in the bottle.

I personally found that it worked great and effectively every time. It helped ease my cold sores. The pills aren't the easiest to swallow. But for the amount you get of say it's good value.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2023Verified PurchaseI knew the pills were going to be big but didn’t think it would be an issue. The first one gave me anxiety so I broke the second day dose in half. It got stuck in my throat half way down and took a couple of gulps of water to completely swallow it. That freaked me out quite a bit. I decided, I needed to order a pill crusher, and chewed todays dose. I was expecting a super bad taste, but nothing. They have no flavour. I took the pill crusher out of my cart lol I just chased with some OJ. No issues.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2025Verified PurchaseVery large pills. Be careful. Since taking them I’ve had a loss of appetite. I’m still eating just get full fast.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 18, 2022Verified PurchaseThis works to prevent and treat recurring herpes simplex, AKA “cold sores”. Taking this regularly makes them go away 3X faster (one week vs. three) AND helps prevent them. I’ve had herpes simplex since I was a kid and used to have an outbreak several times a year with colds. Now I get them 1-2, less severe and goes away faster. Usually when I get one I realize I haven’t been taking it regularly and start up again. I sometimes use it with a lysine topical ointment. Don’t waste your money on ABREVA anything. I tried it years ago and the only thing it helped was the drug company’s profit margin. I’ve also been prescribed VALTREX as once or twice sores have migrated near my eyes and can cause blindness. VALTREX can be hard for the body to process and hasn’t worked any better for me than the lysine regimen. So, I choose a more natural remedy in this product I highly recommend.

Easy to swallow but it's a big pill. It seems like it's good quality and effective. Good value for the price.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2024Verified PurchaseI used to buy Webber which was big tablet, but this one is huge. I choked twice on it with barely bit of air for breathing. It scared me an awful lot. Now to scared to take them. I started cutting them in two. Bit easier to swallow but that scare did it for me. Price was reasonable compared to others.
