Vitamart's Take

L-Lysine is one of the most popular natural products for cold sores, and this one keeps it simple: 500 mg of L-lysine per capsule and nothing else of note. The label dose is 2 capsules three times a day, which adds up quickly, so the 180-capsule size is the practical choice if you plan to use it for a while. It can be used for up to 6 months, so many people start it as soon as they feel a cold sore coming and stay on it through stressful seasons.

How L-Lysine 500mg Compares

Capsules vs. topical cold sore products

Topical products work on the skin. L-Lysine works from the inside and is aimed at reducing how often cold sores come back, as well as their severity and healing time. Many people use both.

90 vs. 180 capsules

At 6 capsules a day, the 90-capsule bottle lasts 15 days and the 180-capsule size lasts 30 days.

Lysine vs. a general immune formula

Products like Quercetin 500mg or a zinc supplement support general health. L-Lysine is the targeted choice when cold sores are your main concern.

What Is L-Lysine?

  • L-lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids — the body cannot make it, so it must come from food or supplements
  • It is a building block of protein
  • It is found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy and legumes
  • As a supplement, it helps reduce the recurrence, severity and healing time of cold sores
  • This product uses L-lysine hydrochloride, a common stable form

Recommended Purpose

  • Helps to reduce the recurrence, severity and healing time of cold sores

How To Use

  • Adults: take 2 capsules, 3 times a day, or as directed by a health care practitioner
  • May be used for up to 6 months
  • Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
