Quantum Health Super Lysine+ / Advanced Formula Lysine+ Immune Support with Vitamin C, Echinacea, Licorice, Propolis, Odorless Garlic (180 Tablets), Packaging may vary

I’ve used these for years and they really work. I usually take them every other day, but if I feel a cold sore coming on, I’ll take three a day and it helps calm things down fast. The ingredients are great — lysine, vitamin C, and herbal support — all without anything harsh. No taste or burn up. They’re not super easy to swallow if you’re a beginner but you can have with or without food. A staple in my wellness cabinet.

I think this is my second bottle of SuperLysine. It really helps with fever blister & cold sore symptoms.

My first experience with Lysine was as a kid, I would regularly get AWFUL canker sores (note: these are different than cold sores) in my mouth (which I now know is from eating acidic or super sugary foods/candies) that would last for weeks and make it painful to eat, brush my teeth, etc. My grandfather actually recommended taking Lysine supplements for that and I didn't get another canker sore for years! Even after I stopped regularly taking the supplements. As for cold sores, I contracted HSV1 as an adult and immediately took to the internet for home remedies to prevent getting them altogether. Lysine supplements consistently popped up and I spoke to my doctor about it who highly encouraged taking the supplements to help prevent and/or lessen the severity of an outbreak. I noticed that a cold sore would pop up during periods of extreme stress or when I had some sort of hormonal imbalance (aka when I was switching to a new hormonal birth control method and my body was still adjusting) but after a while of taking these supplements, when I did get one, they were WAY less severe and didn't come on as quickly (giving me time to start taking the anti-viral pill prescribed by my doctor before it got too bad). Overall, I have no idea whether these supplements are what is actually causing my cold sores to be less severe or if it's just my body being better able to fight the infection over time (antibodies - yay!) but it's certainly worth it to try. Especially if you suffer from regular, severe HSV outbreaks. The bottle recommends taking three pills a day: one in the morning, one around lunch, and one around dinner time on an empty stomach but if you're anything like me.. your stomach is never empty except for in the morning right after waking up (lol!). I started taking all three first thing in the morning before heading to work and it seems to work just fine. One major thing I did notice right after starting these supplements is that I would start to feel a little anxious about mid morning. which the internet informed me was due to the licorice in this product. Apparently licorice raises your blood pressure.. who knew! After a while my body got used to it and I stopped getting this feeling, but it's definitely something to discuss with your doctor if you have issues with your blood pressure already. Other than that, these seem great. I haven't noticed any sort of bad odor and they seem to be pretty tasteless.

I take the three (3) tablets in the morning as directed and have noticed that it greatly reduces the number of mouth ulcers (canker sores) I get and when I rarely do get one they are not painful and don't last more than a couple days at most. That is the original reason I started taking Lysine. What I've also noticed is that I am much less susceptible to mosquito bites (I guess due to the Garlic?) when taking these pills daily. I recently was at a resort in Cancun with my wife and it had the beach on one side and swamp on the other... they had a MAJOR mosquito problem. My wife came home with 50 mosquito bites and I had fewer than 5. If I hadn't been daily taking these pills I'm confident I'd be in the same boat as her - mosquitos have typically targeted me more than others but the pill were like a magic repellent. The do have a Garlic smell and taking 3 at a time can seem a bit much - but the work. Highly recommend for daily use! 4.8/5

Product seems to work well but it requires frequent reapplication. It would only stay for 1 to 2 weeks and you got to be applied again or the fleas seem to come back again so it's not a long-term solution.

I have suffered with canker sores since I was a baby. I am sure like others, canker breakouts happen more frequently when I am stressed or not getting enough sleep. Throughout my life, I could easily go over a year or more without a canker. I am now in my late 40’s, and for some reason, the painful breakouts are now practically constant. I’ve used lysine in the past and had okay results…this product is different. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night - not suggesting you follow me - just being transparent. Within a couple days, the sores were less painful and shrinking. A couple more days - completely gone. Most important is consistency. These are now part of a daily routine in hopes for a lasting canker-free life. If you’re suffering and tried all the toothpastes, rinses, topicals, etc to no avail - give these a try. I hope super lysine helps others the way it’s helped me.

The Quantum Health Super Lysine+ has been a fantastic addition to my wellness routine. After consistent use, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in immune support, especially when I feel run-down or under stress. The blend of Lysine, Vitamin C, Zinc, and other natural ingredients works effectively to prevent and reduce cold sores, making it a lifesaver during flare-ups. The tablets are easy to take, and I appreciate that they don’t have a strong or unpleasant aftertaste. Unlike other lysine supplements, this one feels more potent, providing noticeable results in a shorter time. If you're looking for a reliable immune booster and cold sore relief, this is an amazing choice that truly delivers. These pills are pretty big though. It worth the price. It is long-lasting support. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love the product and have been taking it for 7+ years now religiously to avoid outbreaks.
