I have suffered from Cold Sores my entire life (that I can recall). I am 45 years old and have been taking L-Lysine for roughly 10 years now. It works. If I catch a cold sore early, it doesn't come out if I take L-Lysine. When I feel the tingle I start to take 2 of these pills in the morning, one in the afternoon and 2 more in the evening before sleeping. I do this for the whole time I feel the tingle and 2 days after it stops. It takes longer if I miss the tingle and they start to come out in which case I do this until the sores are completely gone ( 2 days).
That said, THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT!! Over the last 10 years I have taken dozens of brands of L-Lysine. Most are giant and no coating on them. Making them hard to swallow, or on a few occasions get stuck and I freak out. These have a coating on them, like other medications, to help them go down easier. YES they are huge, I have yet to find one on the market that isnt huge (sadly). BUT like I said, these have a nice coating on them so they go down easier than any others I have tried. The price is right, I get a bunch in one bottle which lasts a long time and most important, they work!
That said, TMI time, they do cause some constipation, so be sure to drink lots of water with them. Hope this helps someone out. I have told everyone I can about these since I found them. No reason to still get cold sores when you can take these
