NOW Lysine 1000mg 100 tablets.

NOW L-Lysine 1000mg provides a high dose of an essential amino acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own and must obtain from food or supplements.

Lysine is critical for collagen and connective tissue formation, calcium absorption, and immune defense. It competes with arginine and is commonly taken to support the body's natural response to the herpes simplex virus (cold sores).

Each tablet contains 1000 mg of L-lysine. The standard dosage is one tablet 1-2 times a day between meals. Athletes and people who have frequent cold sore outbreaks will benefit the most.
