Solgar L-Lysine 1000 mg, 250 Tablets - Enhanced Absorption and Assimilation - Promotes Integrity of Skin and Lips - Collagen Support - Amino Acids - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free - 250 Servings

Yup… it helps!

Update Sept 2017: yessssss. It works! Not an immediate fix, but a lot of help. I have to post photos from October and photos from July. I couldn't find more recent ones and can't take one today bc I'm wearing make up so it's not completely honest. I got a big pimple in my forehead 2 weeks ago after my period. That was it for 2 weeks. I noticed a lot of improvement in the size and frequency of my acne. I have also been trying 'Choline/Inositol by solgar 500 mg' - but taking 1000mg for depression and skin (it was also recommended for acne); vitamin D3 5000 IU; Vitamin E 400 IU; Dr. Tobias' Omega 3 fish oil 800mg (2 softgels). Basically, I take anything I am recommended for mental health and acne. I think a lot of my acne is due to stress. Original review in January 2017: Taking one daily, started a week ago. I Can already see and feel results! I'm less groggy in the mornings, more energetic, more focused at work. My acne hiperpigmentation is improving. I originally brought this because Organic Olivia (find her on youtube, I love the info she shares), said she used this to help cure her acne. I may update this post with photos once my acne disappears :P or I'll let u know if it doesnt! However, Not sure if it's this or the other things I started on (after watching OrganicOlivia's youtube channel). Prescript assist (probiotics), or 'Now' wormwood (parasite cleanse, or 'christopher's lower bowel formula'. But I started the L-lysine about 10 days ago and the others only on 4 days ago

i had read a lot in new esthetics mags about l-lysine (my spots are hormonal & i recommend women w/ what they think 2 be hormona

I'm an esthetician & deal w/ everyone's skin all day but still had old acne marks myself, i had read a lot in new esthetics mags about l-lysine (my spots are hormonal & i recommend women w/ what they think 2 be hormonal acne get a hormone panel done, it may be jprmonal but it may be something else & there are multiple hormones that can cause acne in women, but u hear only about androgens (testosterone) causing it) anyway i was skeptical about this since so many things that don't work pop up in beauty all the time, topical & internal, Im am glad 2 eat those thoughts. Been using in since June 4th & I already had reduced PIH & my melasma has faded (kids! Lol) If u have active breakouts, post breakout marking & scars or other skin issues u need to give this a try. Since it is an amino acid (protien building block) it jelps form collagen & elastin, this benefits our skin, even aging, we lose the ability to form those 2 things quickly & as well over time so we get wrinkles & lines & sagging. I can't wait 2 see the next few weeks! I would love 2 recommend this 2 my clients but I'm not a dr or dietician, so i can just give them my story & say "ask a Dr" which everyone should do before jumping into supplements. L-lysine also helps the absorption of calcium & iron, provides support for our immune system & tests have seen benefits to hormonal regulation, this could be another great benefit to hormonal acne. I will update if i breakout terribly, it stops working, or I have other side effects (i also use Vitex for progesterone regulation, & spearmint capsules to help eliminate free testosterone that can cause the acne by stimulating oil gland to produce more, it clogs pores & gives p. Acnes the anaerobic environ. it loves to feed& thrive, stop the oil production & acne stops too (hence y acutane is successful) ok, these are my thoughts & experience & hope it helps someone else out there. Acne can be stressful, cause anxiety, depression & loss of self-esteem...however, acne or none...u r beautiful!

CAUTION!

If you are prone to heart palpitations BE VERY CAUTIOUS with this product. High amounts of L-Lysine tends to increase the amount of free calcium in the body. This in turn can lead to heart palpitations. I did not know this until I took one of these tablets and an hour or so later I thought I was having s heart attack! This is more common in women over 60, which I am. Please be careful with high dose isolated nutrients. I should've done better homework

No more Herpes breakouts!

I can't believe what a remarkable supplement this is!! I have re-ordered several times and I never want to be without it! I have medicine for my break outs, but I didn't like the thought of being on a consistent prescription medication. I started taking Lysine after I had read that it would help Herpes break outs. I started out taking one tablet and that didn't work. Then someone who worked at Lucky's Market said to take two of them daily. It worked. I have been break out-free for months now!! I am just ecstatic that this supplement works so well. I would highly recommend it

THIS CURED MY CYSTIC ACNE IN 3 WEEKS!!!

This is the only thing that cured my terrible cystic acne. I've tried acutane, curology, and rodan and fields. None of them worked. Then I started taking one pill a day. In the first two weeks I stopped breaking out. Now it's been two months and Ive gotten only small pimple during my PMS last month and that's it. Definitely recommend if you feel like you have incurable acne! I personally had no side effects though I've heard some people have gotten stomach cramps before

Speeds up healing time for cold sores.

My girlfriend, who has struggled with cold sores her entire life, randomly woke up with one forming on Friday the 21st after not having one for a few years. She came across this product after researching that a diet high in lysine can keep cold sore outbreaks at bay. The product was received on the 22nd. After taking a tablet once a day since receiving and honestly missing a dose or two, the sore is in its last stages (currently cracking/bleeding stage, but never formed the blister and busted.) It normally takes 3 weeks for her cold sores to disappear with scabbing happening the last week. She highly recommends to anyone who feels a cold sore coming on. However, if you are petite, (GF weighs about 110) I'd refrain from taking it on an empty stomach as it made her sick

WORKED FOR MY ADULT ONSET ACNE

I bought this after researching my sudden adult onset acne. I haven't had issues with acne since I started taking birth control 7 years ago. All of a sudden I got obvious small bumps/texture all over my forehead I have never had before and was breaking out on my nose and chin like when I was a teenager. I'm mostly vegan so it wasn't from dairy/food. I tried all kinds of natural face washes and masks that helped, but didn't make it much better after weeks of use. This pill got rid of 95% of my acne issues in 1 month of use. I know it was this pill because I didn't change anything else in my routine except taking this everyday. This has no negatives what so ever so if you're having acne issues, you have nothing to lose by trying it out

MIRACLE IN A JAR

This product is nothing short of a magic pill! I woke up three days ago with what appeared to be a cold sore forming on my upper lip (I have never had one so I wasn't completely sure -- didn't have the tell-tale tingly feeling, just some small bumps forming). I immediately ordered lysine after reading so many wonderful reviews/doing some quick research on how it helps to repair tissue. I took one tablet almost every waking hour from the time they arrived at 4pm two days ago (so 4 tabs day before yesterday, and 8 tabs yesterday). I woke up this morning with NOTHING! NADA! Like it never happened. My lips had also been quite dry no matter how much water I drank, and when I woke up they were soft and hydrated. I will continue to take this product at the recommended dose just to make sure whatever it was is gone, but I cannot believe how well L-Lysine works! I now believe the spot on my lips to be a type of dermatitis, not a cold sore...the reason for all of this information is to say that it isn't just for cold/canker sores, but it helps knock out any "mouth ailment". I always have great luck with Solgar products, and I love that this is formulated without any weird/questionable additives and comes in a tinted glass jar. I am someone who has a difficult time swallowing pills, and yes this one is large, but I have had zero issues taking this. Buy this miracle product...I am so thankful I did
