Natures AidL-Lysine 1000mg – High Strength Essential Amino Acid – Supports Immune System, Muscle Recovery, Collagen, Bone Health & Energy – Vegan, Gluten-Free - 60 Tablets

So I don't usually write reviews on here but this product works so well this is my 4th buying it so I thought I might as well just review it. It's gonna be long tho.I used to suffer from cold sores from the moment my mom gave them to me and it has always been a struggle. They would show up often enough to be a real problem but not too often so I never figured out a way to fight them in time. I tried all sorts of stuff from creams and patches to literal cloves of raw garlic pressed against my lip. I don't know how I got to try lysine but I read somewhere it helps so I got it and oh my god. Not a single sore in years!If you are a regular sore enthusiast then you know the tingly, warm feeling you get when one is about to appear. This is exactly when you take a pill! And if I do something super adventurous like (god forbid) eat one spicy wing, then I act double the strength and take one of them pills + put some sores cream. I keep a case in my pocket anywhere I go. Works wonders. I know it might not work like that for everyone, but try cause it might work like that for you. Also lysing helps absorb calcium so even if you still end up with a sore, you will have bones strong like a horse.And yeah, the pills are quite big but you can break them into smaller bits if you're prone to choking.

Good quality L-Lysine I believe, it does the trick for me I take one a day for my cold sores and it keeps them at bay :) have been using this brand for about a year now and no issues

Absolutely fantastic. I’m prone to cold sores and rely on lysine to prevent and shorten outbreaks. These tables are fantastic and are a lot cheaper than most brands. Ive ordered these about 4 times now and wouldn’t use anything else.However, the tablets are HUGE in size which makes no difference to me, but they could be cut in half if you struggle.

I've been using Nature's aid supplements for several years. Compared to many other other brands I've taken, they're high quality and do the job.They're made in the UK by a serious, established company to GMP standards, which is essential for me.I make this point because when I was looking at supplements for my latest order, I researched a couple of the cheaper products. Company address and accounts at Companies' House (public domain).For example, one of the brands on here looks very stylishly packaged and there are persuasive claims about the supplements in that range. I couldn't get to the bottom of where they were made ...So I went hunting. Turns out that the 'company' has one employee at an obvious home address and a balance of + c.£1000 on his 'company's' statement to Companies House!Looks like the guy's running a small import business from his bedroom and who knows where he's getting his products from...Have to say I was rather concerned. When it comes to our health, I believe we really do need to take care about what we put in our bodies! (I hope my research is useful for buyers here.)So, 90% of my supplements continue to come from Nature's aid!I take HALF a tab of Lysine at bedtime several times a week. For one thing I'd read that it's effective if you have sleep problems and I can definitely confirm that. It also helps to lessen the effects of stress apparently. It's also claimed to help lower blood pressure.Secondly, research shows that it's effective against most viral infections. After a couple of bouts of Covid my immune system was battered and I found I was picking up a lot of minor colds. I believe that this supplement has at least reduced the length of any infection I get -and probably seen off most infections altogether.The third thing is that my protein intake is on the low side so I reckon that Lysine is a good addition.I would have given Nature's Aid Lysine 5 stars except that the tablets are crazy big and difficult to swallow. So that's why I chop them in half. Bit of a faf.. C'mon Nature's Aid! You can fix this!

I stopped having cold sores!!!!

please with order

Taking 1 whilst my cold sore was in full on nasty gunky mode, definitely helped. The next day it was significantly smaller, like it had healed considerably overnight.However, the physical and mental torment that came with swallowing such a massive pill is hard to contend with. It really is huge. I felt it go down my throat and then briefly get stuck there as I had to swallow it down harder. It was, as I say, mentally just as horrid as it was physically, to feel it stuck there. You could not pay me any amount of money to take these tablets as a preventative measure on the off-chance that I’d get a cold sore without them. They are too big. But they do work against cold sores even when they’re at their worst.

+ large dose in a single tablet (1000mg)+ completely neutral taste and no aftertaste+ 2 months supply for a bargain price+ convenient and compact container- large size of the pill (9x9x23mm)Not very well known but crucial amino acid for growing kids and everyone with an active lifestyle, whether it's doing sports or working in physically demanding occupations. Recommended daily dose (from meals and supplements combined) is 30-35mg for every kg of body weight so 1000mg in a single tablet is a great help in supplementing your diet.Approx. £6 for 2 months supply (for 1 person) if pretty cheap and included container really convenient but these tablets are among the biggest I've encountered: 9x9x23mm may make them difficult to swallow for non-adults.To summarize, for all the active people taking care of their health this product will help deal with tough psysical tasks, building and repairing muscles, even speeding up the recovery after injuries. True all-rounder for everyone burning through calories at full speed. Highly recommended.Protip: Lysine works best when combined with vitamin C so either supplement it as well or include citrus fruits in your daily menu.
