This essential amino acid benefits the whole body, notably by protecting against herpes rashes, which often occur when immunity is low. L-Lysine helps prevent herpes outbreaks and speeds up healing, and it has been shown to reduce anxiety and cortisol levels.
I take one tablet three times daily, increasing to two or three during acute herpes outbreaks. L-lysine is essential for numerous body processes and helps control symptoms of anxiety and intervenes against herpes viruses, reducing the frequency and severity of outbreaks effectively.
I have Long Covid, and some symptoms resemble chronic fatigue syndrome. I've battled Epstein-Barr virus since I was 12 (now 81). L-Lysine, an amino acid, inhibits viral replication and is beneficial for low energy post-viral infections. The capsules are easy to swallow with no aftertaste, and I take one daily to bolster my system. I appreciate the NOW product, especially its bright orange packaging.

Since I began taking this supplement, I've had no redness or irritation on my lips before menstruation or when fatigued. I now take it regularly to encourage hair growth and prevent herpes labialis.
My doctor recommended I take L-Lysine 500 mg twice daily for my Epstein-Barr virus, alongside monolaurin and quercetin. After five months, my energy levels have greatly improved. I may reduce my dosage soon, but I will continue with L-Lysine.
