Natures Aid L-Lysine 1000mg Supplement – 60 Tablets

These tablet I read about on a post on Facebook and had high hopes and I can honestly say they do not disappoint they have helped my partner soo much when he has an out break of cold sores. They are big but easily swallowed and very effective and a definite a value for money I would highly recommend for those who struggle with cold sores

I woke up yesterday to the familiar feeling of a tingling lip and looked in the mirror to see a big, swollen blistery mess. I have previously taken L-lysine but haven't taken it for a while and couldn't find my them. So just crossed my fingers and hoped this was as bad as it would get. This morning it had grown and was so painful. I ordered these along with a few other items to ensure I'd get them today ~ they arrived at 6pm, I immediately took two - I had to cut them up because like the other ones I had- they're BIG. It is now 1am and the swelling has Gone and the blistering is almost flat and there is no pain at all. I just wish they weren't so big. Other than that, I forgot how much of a "life saver" they are for cold sores. I definitely recommend.

These are brilliant. Really help reduce cold sores.

Found these to be very effective at nipping sores in the bud and reducing impact and duration. The only thing I don't like is they are the size of a horse pill. No after taste, just bug when taking two at a time. Very good price.

Excellent product! For someone who recently started to suffer from cold sores I was recommended this product would help with keeping them at bay. I used to get 2 cold sores a year but since taking one of these tablets a day I’ve not had one all year and I believe it’s down to this product! Amazing!! Highly recommended!

Big tablets, not easy to swallow. But works well for cold sore prevention. Hasn't had one since using them. 4 months now and normally would get once a month.

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.

I decided to write this review for the benefit of others thinking of purchasing it. I purchased this along with MSM (also made by Nature’s Aid and sold by Amazon) for my hair, since there is published research (conducted on humans) confirming benefits for hair growth and thickness (check it out!). Hair is a massive thing for me, and I always look after it. Before purchasing, I checked the reviews to see if anyone mentioned hair. They didn’t, but cold sores were repeatedly mentioned. This intrigued me, I occasionally get them, they can be quite nasty, and I have tried all the usual creams, patches etc. I have only been taking L-lysine (one per day) for about 6 days, when I woke up with what promised to be a HUGE cold sore. Except this was different. I had not noticed a tingle in the night as I had slept well, AND importantly, whilst there was a swelling, there was no sign of blisters forming. This is VERY significant, because it’s the horrid blister and scabbing that make for cold sores being so miserable. Also, pain was significantly reduced, especially given the huge size of it. I had read that with a cold sore outbreak, take 3 of these tablets (otherwise, only take one). So I immediately took three tablets. I write this the very next day, and the cold sore is massively improved, with only a faint red mark visible on my lip, a tiny amount of swelling and no blisters I have now learned that you should ideally take the three tablets at a dose of one tablet, 3 times daily rather than take them all at once. If you can, also take them with zinc and vitamin C, that is the recommendation. So that is what I will do today. These tablets are horse tablets, it’s true. However, it’s easily dealt with. I crush mine in a pestle and mortar, and pour the crushed tablet onto a desert spoon of natural yoghurt, so that I can eat it quickly and all in one go. Otherwise, eat it with a little bread and butter. It’s not delicious, but it’s perfectly acceptable like that, and well, well worth it, in my view, for the benefits. I was intrigued to note that another reviewer has checked the origin of manufacture (with companies house etc) in order to be confident in the ingredient and manufacturing safety. I also do this, and I think it’s very good advice! I think it is very important, because product safety matters, and I want to be sure. There is no point buying something for its health benefits if the product is not really what it appears to be. Nature’s Aid is therefore also one of my go-to brands, and product safety is a key reason. In summary, I have found these L-lysine tablets to be very, very effective, and therefore, good value for money. So, in summary, if you get a cold sore out break, take one of these tablets three times daily during the outbreak, ideally with zinc and a vitamin c tablet (mostly for vitamin C, I tend to eat a bit more fruit instead). Otherwise, take just one tablet per day. Do not take three tablets daily for the long term. The advice is, also, do NOT take if you are pregnant or breast feeding (not because it’s definitely unsafe, but because it hasn’t been researched and checked for safety during pregnancy). Hope this helps someone. As an added tip, if you get a cold sore out break, also keep it well moisturised with a regular application of lip balm containing vitamin E. At night, if I have a cold sore, I also apply an extra thick layer before going to bed. Obviously, have a jar of lip balm rather than using a stick, as it’s easier and more hygienic. You can use a cotton bud to apply the balm.

Ein super Produkt, welches mir wirklich gut gegen Herpes hilft. Beim kleinsten ziehen oder kribbeln nehm ich sofort eine Tablette, und meiste kommt gar nix.... Und wenn doch, nur minimal und ist ganz schnell wieder weg... Nachdem ich mir immer lyranda gekauft habe suchte ich nach einer preiswerteren Alternative, denn 10 Tabletten für ca. 10€ bei 3 Tbl. Pro Tag war mir auf Dauer einfach zu viel.... Kann die Tabletten nur empfehlen, bloß sollte man keine Probleme beim tablettenschlucken habe, sonst ist es unmöglich die Tabletten zu nehmen, da diese noch größer sind als manche Antibiotika ;)

confezione grande a un prezzo conveniente rispetto alla farmacia. lo uso sempre nei periodi di stress per evitare che spunti l'herpes labiale (oppure quando ce l'ho per farlo guarire più velocemente).

Fonctionne très bien contre les boutons de fièvre si pris dès le début.

Usato per herpes e per ora devo dire che funziona

3 jours que je le teste à la suite d'une crise d'herpès. Je ne l'avais pas encore quand mon bouton est sorti. J'ai pris 2 gélules d'un coup 1 jour après la poussée et mon bouton à super bien seché. En 3 jours il est déjà sur la fin alors que d'habitude j'en ai pour 1 semaine au moins... Je vais continuer de prendre 1 gélule par jour en espérant éviter les crises. Je ne connaissais pas. D'habitude j'utilise les patch, les crèmes etc sans résultats... Là je suis vraiment agréablement surprise ! Je vais en parler autour de moi !
