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

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.

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.

I have a life before lysine with constant cold sores on a loop. Then I have a life after lysine without any cold sores. These work, but point to note, you have to take them at least 3 times a week, EVERY week for them to be effective.I’m constantly kicking myself when I have a cold sore due to my own negligence. If you suffer with cold sores and take these pills 3 times a week you will never have a cold sore again.I’ve since set a reminder that goes off each night to remind me to take it.If you’ve been in cold sore misery for months or years, try this amino acid. It really does work. ‘Transformed my life after suffering for years. I know it sounds melodramatic, but lysine has improved my quality of life year-on-year when I no longer have cold sores.I’m not a scientist, but I understand lysine is derived from pork. I’m not sure how much pork you would need to eat to absorb enough lysine to prevent the sores. I do not eat meat, but have done in my early life, however, always disliked pork.Taking these tablets is so much easier. Kiss cold sores goodbye and have the confidence to kiss anyone you want to (if they let you) without a scabby lip…!

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!

Good price for the quantity

Reduced anxiety and stress, skin looked brighter and clearer.

These pills are massive and I find them very hard to swallow. I had to grind them up into a powder and add them to a smoothie so that I can take them. They are excellent for preventing cold sores and helping to get rid of cold sores.
