    I had a few years of massive cold sores, all over my lips, they were terrible a friend told me about lysine tablets and in 3 years I haven't had one ever again. I took a tablet daily for about a year, niw I'm down to 2 a week. It works.

    I take Lysine 500 mg when I feel a cold sore started, usually I know when one is coming by a bad mood/funk that sets in a day or two before the actual sore. One of the Lysine tabs knocks it out in less than 12 hours for me.One tab is usually enough for each flare up. Was taking Valtrex at great expense: that didn't work as well as Lysine.

    My doctor told me to take it along with a zinc tablet. I only use them when I feel a cold sore coming on. Works like a charm!

    This is the only natural remedy I have used and can say works for sure. I take two tablets at first tingle of the sore and several through the day until in healing phase. I use as preventative if I am sick or run down. Note that the tablets will not work if the product is expired. Possibly they are also less effective if not stored in the fridge.
