I USE IT (L-LYSINE) AS I HAVE HAD THE SHINGLES AND IT WORKS GREAT, JUST WISH THE PILL WAS SMALLER.

I take 1000 mg daily to prevent and treat cold sores. I do not get them as often and I double-up on it when I have a break-out. Been taking for over 10 years and it really helps.

I get cold sores often. L-Lysine, if taken upon first notice of a cold sore, makes it go away within 24-48 hours. I take 2 - 1000 mg every 4 hours for the 48 hours. That usually does the trick.
