We explored the effectiveness of lysine supplementation in treating herpes infections through a survey of 1,543 participants after a six-month trial. The findings revealed that a substantial 84% reported that lysine helped prevent recurrences or reduced the frequency of outbreaks.
Notably, only 8% of users described their symptoms as severe while taking lysine, compared to 79% who felt that way without it. Healing times improved significantly; 83% felt lesions healed in five days or less with lysine, while 90% said healing took longer without it. Overall, 88% regarded lysine as an effective treatment.

I experienced shingles seven times in four years. A new holistic dentist advised me to take L-lysine. After following his guidance of 1000 mg daily and up to 3000 mg during stress or illness, I have not had further shingles episodes, and my health has improved significantly. I highly endorse this product based on my experience.

This product is excellent. Having rheumatoid arthritis rendered me immunocompromised, leading to recurring shingles. I began taking Solgar L-lysine 1000 mg twice daily, and within a week, I felt much better! I intend to keep using this product as it has significantly improved my condition.

Reduced pain relief

Great relief for shingles. I obtained this for my mother after she developed a painful case of shingles. Initially, she was sceptical but began taking the pills at my urging, although she refused my liposomal Vit. C. After three days without the L-Lysine, she reported significantly worsened pain. I ordered her another bottle, and upon taking them again, she found that her pain diminished.

This product helps me remain Shingles-free! I take 3 pills daily for a total of 3000 mg. I also avoid foods high in arginine that can trigger shingles outbreaks. While it's challenging to reduce stress, I recommend these pills for anyone struggling with shingles.

Effective shingles control
Excellent results! I have tried more expensive brands, but Solgar has proven to be the most effective. I take it to manage shingles, which can sometimes appear as a cold sore or cause headaches at the base of the skull due to stress and poor diet, even without visible blisters.

Supports immunity effectively
The Solgar brand is trustworthy and I regularly purchase from them. I bought lysine as I heard it could aid with shingles and enhance immunity. There is plenty of product, and I was satisfied with both the delivery and packaging, which protected the glass bottle well.
