Review: Great item from a reputable brand - Good quality product from a reputable brand. Take it every day so a regular purchase. Big tablets but easy to swallow and have tangible benefits from taking it regularly.
Review: Amaaaaaaaaazing!!!!!!! - A very potent brand indeed; and I absolutely LOVE the glass bottle packaging. Since taking L-Lysine (which has only been a week lol) I can honestly say that I have noticed that my terrible stomach cramps have subsided tremendously. I use to have a horrible tightness in my stomach hours after I ate, and at night I HAD TO religiously drink a hot tea before bed to avoid feeling tight chested and cramping throughout the night. I'm sooooo happy to say that since taking these tablets I have not had ONE uncomfortable digestive feeling AT ALL - its as if me IBS has totally disappeared. I can't remember the last time my digestive system felt this calm, normal and full of health. Thank you soooo much Solgar for this brand of L-Lysine, I will defo be ordering a BIGGER bottle the next time. This is for me is now too good an amino (and brand) to live without. It's absolutely brilliant. I have also ordered (after discovering how amaaaazing this amino product is) a bottle of 'essential amino 75' by Solgar. It has all the essential amino's that the body needs, but cannot make itself. They contains 75mg each of L-Lysine (my favourite), L-Leucine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Valine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine and L-Threonine. I'm not sure what physical, mental or emotional differences I may find by taking this product, but I am looking forward to finding out. P.S - I have also noticed that since taking L-Lysine that my mood IS more steady, I feel a lot more clear headed and much lighter on my feet. Something tells me I must have been TOTALLY deficient in L-Lysine. If taking my amino 75 adds to this health an clarity I will have truly found my two sets of life long pills (as I will always now buy myself a bottle of Solgar L-Lysine). I still can't believe that my search for better health could now be all over. P.P.S - the way I take my amino pill(s) is at night before I go to bed on an empty stomach. I make sure I wait at least 1 to 2 hours after eating before taking, then wash it down with filtered water or green drink. I hope everyone has as great a result as I have had, and from what I have read in previous comments. I only wish I could have given this product a thousand more stars.

## Features

- ✓ METABOLISM SUPPORT - L-Cysteine is an amino acid, bearing sulphur, which plays a role in metabolism as it assists the synthesis from fatty acids into energy. It is also involved in the synthesis of keratin, the protein found in skin, hair and nails
- ✓ AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENT - Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body's need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation
- ✓ NATURAL WELLNESS - We believe that cleaner is better, we craft our vitamins and minerals in small batches to help ensure consistency and purity from bottle to bottle
- ✓ COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY - For over 70 years we've used 100% recyclable amber glass bottles
- ✓ GOLD STANDARD - All Solgar products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence, made using naturally sourced ingredients and innovating since 1947

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rapid relief.
*by P***E on 20 December 2013*

this is an amazing product, from someone who suffered/suffers from weird cold sore type lesions on my mouth, this literally took away all source of pain. It all started in the summer of 2005/6? when in the UK we all had that crazy summer. As an Indian girl i lapped up the attention the sun was giving me, I loved every minute, and then all of a sudden i started getting tingling sensations that worsened as the summer went on. I was struck with intestinal fear as the cold sores on my face soon started to expand and become worse. Nothing could take away the scrutinising anguish I felt when the sun use to come out and i would have to hide away. All the usual commercial products weren't cutting it for me, they were making it worse. Those things don't contain true healing ingredients anyway.. so i did my research, changed my diet and found a lessening of the symptoms, but no true eradication.. anyway, back in 2013! I was going to India with my partner and mother, and low and behold, the fear came back! 2013 brought back the cold sore symptoms that the previous year’s hadn't seen for a while, although not as bad as 2005/6!.. I then found the Solgar L-Lysine product. When i purchased it I had only a few days left to receive it before I went off to my hols and I was so anxious to get it on time, and it finally arrived to such great relief. Well i never had used a product that had taken away such a tangible symptom before so rapidly. I truly rate this product, and it has made me research into l-lysine furthermore and what my body particularly needs it. I enjoyed the summer of 2013, in the 40 degrees hot Indian summer, there was no cold sore to be seen. It is my new deity!
