BulkSupplements L-Lysine HCL Powder Essential Amino Acid Supplement For Immune Support And Collagen Production 100 Grams

My mother in law introduced me to L-Lysine decades ago when my young daughter experienced chronic ear infections and cold sores. At the time, we only used L-Lysine when symptoms arose. The L-Lysine, when taken at the onset of a cold sore or illness shortened my daughters illnesses dramatically. She is in her mid twenties and she continues to use this supplement for her health, and for her elderly cat. I now take L-Lysine daily to maintain health. The capsule form of this supplement is affordable and convenient, however, I found I prefer mixing powdered supplements into food or beverages for me and my pets. It allows me to control dosages more easily. There is no indication of the source of origin or manufacturer on the packaging. There are 735 servings per container, the contents are best before Oct 9, 2017, about 10 and a half months from now. I take this twice a day, so I will be using it a little past the best by date. There are no other ingredients, the product is free of sugar, soy, dairy, yeast, gluten, or additives. This is important to me, as I need to avoid these additives due to allergies. The product is easy to measure, and dissolves easily in room temperature water. I recommend this product and I will purchase it again.

I originally bought this to help support my body's natural collagen production as I get a bit older. After a few months of daily use, my nails are noticeably stronger and no longer split at the edges. Even my hair seems to be growing in much thicker and healthier than it was last year. It is a fantastic, pure supplement for supporting your beauty routine directly from the inside out.

I actually purchased this to give to our cats -- while they visit the vet rarely, a few times a year at least one of our cats is coming down with something, either respiratory or ocular infections. It wasn't until our littlest went to a new vet that they explained that this is due to a condition that causes the immune systems of infected cats to tank when stressed, who suggested that putting this stuff in their food would help.I don't want to say 110% that this stuff works -- we've been giving it to our cats for maybe 2 months now, which isn't really long enough to determine if the infrequent infections they get are more infrequent.But I *will* say that this stuff is head and shoulders above in quality over the stuff the vet gave us. It's very fine, dissolves instantly into the wet food that we give them, and it must not taste bad because I've caught them licking the spoon I use to measure it.Plus, it's MUCH cheaper than the stuff at the vet, where a tiny jar (100g?) was almost $30. This was absolutely a no brainer.

I purchased this to help several stray cats that come to my house. There are several mixed reviews as to whether or not L-Lysine works for cats and as for my opinion, well lets just say "the jury is still out". This is my first purchase of L-Lysine in powder form but I know without a doupt it deffinetly works in the pill form for helping with cold sores. It will reduce there effect and with a normal daily regiment will prevent them from returning. I like the fact that the bag that they use to store the powder in is strong and has a flat base that will firmly stand by itself. This makes scooping the powder out much easier. The bag was easy to tear open and has the strip in the top that allows it to be resealed. I find that the kitchen scale that I bought is perfect for weighing out the correct amount. I will be buying other Bulk supplements as I find them for other items that I take. There is the inconvenience of having to weigh out the correct amount before it can be used. But for me the difference in price is worth it. The powder is also much easier to mix in wet cat food and they seem to not even notice it being there.

This supplement appears to be a high-quality product. It mixes easily in a smoothie, as well as the Kozy Shack tapioca pudding I like so well. I recently had a respiratory infection that triggered Pityriasis Rosea (PR), a viral rash. The medical field knows little about PR, other than it is viral, and goes away on it's own normally in 6-12 weeks. They THINK it may be associated with the chicken-pox virus. The reason I purchased this product is to try to alleviate the severe itching of PR rash, since L-Lysine address the herpes virus associated with chicken-pox, shingles, etc.. Lysine seems to prevent the herpes simplex virus from growing. Just when I think I have it under control I seem to have a relapse, so I don't know if it is wishful thinking or mind over matter, since I've only taken two doses of L-Lysine, that I feel some relief.A few additional benefits of taking L-Lysine that most people can benefit from include:(1) Cholesterol Management. In the liver, l-lysine converts to carnitine which helps your body burn fat. Because of this fat-burning ability, studies have shown that lysine in the diet may result in decreased levels of LDL (or bad) cholesterol.(2) Bone Health. Everyone knows that calcium is critical for strong bones. L-lysine helps the body to absorb the calcium and decreases the excretion of calcium. Some studies also show that l-lysine may increase the activity of bone and collagen building cells. Decreasing the loss of calcium and increasing bone-building activity may slow the bone loss that happens with age.(3) Herpes Prevention. L-lysine may act as an antiviral by blocking the production of the Herpes Simplex Virus. Studies suggest that following a diet rich in lysine, while not curing the virus, may prevent outbreaks of genital herpes and cold sores associated with the herpes virus. L-lysine may also help herpes sores heal faster.(4) Proper Body Growth. L-lysine is one of the primary components of proteins. Therefore, it is critical for proper body growth particularly in children. Because it helps your body absorb calcium, l-lysine is also critical for growing bones and other tissues. Low levels of lysine may lead to failure to grow due to a protein deficiency.(5) Anxiety and Stress Reduction. In 2004, the National Academy of Sciences reported that lysine supplements can reduce stress and anxiety in a population that consumed very low levels of l-lysine rich foods.(6) Shingle Relief. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox in children. With shingles, the adult will experience a painful rash usually located on one side of the body along one of the major spinal nerves. While not a cure for shingles, l-lysine may help decrease the duration or intensity of the disease.(7) Pain Relief:Studies are being conducted to determine if l-lysine acts as an anti-inflammatory. If it does, you may be able to get pain relief from an adequate intake of this amino acid.(8) Heart Health. Finally, l-lysine may be effective in decreasing some of the symptoms associated with angina. While the mechanism of action is not known, lysine in conjunction with vitamin C seems to have some effect.
