## Description

Product Description Solgar L-Lysine 500 mg Vegetable Capsules is part of the premium amino acid range. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as “essential” or “non-essential”, essential amino acids mean they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body’s need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid and is found in the muscle tissue. It is also a supplement that is popular with people for seasonal support. Eating a healthy and balanced diet will help achieve good levels of the amino acids we need and taking a supplement may be a convenient way to achieve and maintain our intake of L-Lysine. Solgar L-Lysine 500 mg Vegetable Capsules come in a free-form and are Kosher and suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians. 1-2 capsules a day provide 500 - 1000 mg of L-Lysine.All Solgar products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence.

Review: Works for us, mouth ulcers, capsules easier to swallow then caplets. - I have bought them for my partner after reading the positive reviews about helping reduce the outbreaks of cold sores (herpes simplex). While he has not ever suffered with cold sores, he has been suffering with sores, mouth ulcers, inside of his mouth, especially after visiting the dentist, or when having the cold etc. As the mouth ulcers may be somehow related..to herpes virus, he has started to taken L-Lysine Capsules and definitely has seen the improvement in the frequency of the outbreaks. Not sure if it is the positive "faith" in cure, or the products really helps. We would personally recommend to anybody with similar problems to give it a try! When I have made the second order of the supply of L-Lysine I have accidentally ordered, by mistake as I am not a native English speaker caplets/tablets, instead of capsules. The caplets/tablets looks harder to swallow, we prefer the capsules, even slightly more expensive.
Review: A force for good - You can always rely on Sokgar to put a minimum of crap in their products! I have a metabolic disease and developed multiple allergies. I can rarely take medications which nearly always have sulfites, sulfate, corn or lactose in. Then there are all the chemicals they add as preservatives, e numbers to colour the shells, coatings, anti-caking agents and so on. I search many products but have come to look first at Solgar as I know the rubbish won't be put in. Too early to tell if the supplement is working for sure but I have multiple products from them and have always found good quality and good prices too. I think this company is a real force for good and I would have died without their products as I fight to recover from hypoproteinemic issues (extremely low protein). I'm basically dying of malnutrition cos I can't metabolise stuff. But Solgar has given me ways to replace these key nutrients, vitamins, minerals, proteins etc, without consuming stuff that would harm me

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for cold sores
*by M***A on 27 January 2022*

Having suffered from cold sores as far back as I can remember, I was desperate to find something that actually worked at keeping them at bay. I already had a particularly huge cold sore on my lip so I started to take them straight away (twice a day) and my first impression was that it did seem to heal much quicker than usual. I stupidly then stopped taking them and unsurprisingly a month later I felt that dreaded tingle on my lip and instantly reached for my bottle of L-Lysine! Wow. My cold sore was reduced to a tiny spot on my lip that disappeared within two days, when usually my cold sores are large, very sore and stick around for 4 whole weeks! From now on I will be making sure I take these every day to prevent them and so far it’s been working. I’ve also had no nasty side effects with taking them.
