It blends easily into shakes or even a cup of coffee, with absolutely no taste or weird texture. That makes it super easy to add into our morning routine without any fuss.If you’re dealing with canker sores and haven’t tried L-Lysine yet, this is the one to get. Clean, effective, and from a brand we trust.— Stacey & Bobby ReviewsHonest insights from real-life testers.

This L-Lysine is the perfect amino acid to help with cognitive and weight loss. It is a great value for the money, the texture is little pellets that dissolve perfectly, small size container but lasts for a long time. I will continue using this Carlson product with many others.

I used to take this product early morning before going to the gym but found out that it worked better before bed to help build muscles and help with sleep. After switching use to this time frame and using it along with vitamin B1 I have been sleeping better and my mind is less busy when I go to bed. I also think it’s helping with my gym routine in toning and building my muscle mass.

Carlson is one of the best supplement brands, in my experience, and this is pure l-lysine (an amino acid), with no fillers.We've been using it as part of the "Pauling Protocol" for ensuring cardiovascular health (l-lysine, l-proline, and Vitamin C). It's also TERRIFIC for immune support and can help speed recovery from colds, shortening their duration & possibly even suppressing them completely (MY OPINION & EXPERIENCE).L-lysine helps with so many things; muscle retention, skin health, and more. It can even help treat or even suppress cold sore breakouts at an 8 gram dose; can't remember the dosage schedule, but you can look it up online. This is not a listed benefit, but I find it helps me concentrate better when I have a long project to tackle. If I start feeling mentally fatigued, I'll take a 2 gram dose with some Vitamin C and within about 20 minutes, I'm back on my game. Just FYI, I have a very mild case of inattentive-type ADD, so this is a TERRIFIC aid for that issue. Focus drifts? Lysine to the rescue. I do not know why this works, I only know that it does (cannot find any substantiation for this effect in any of the medical literature).We also sprinkle a little bit of this on our cat's food about once a month or as needed for improving his immunity and general health.You can mix this with a small amount of water or juice --OR-- my favorite method is to fill my own capsules by using Now Foods Veg-Capsules Double "00" Empty Capsules, 250-Count and a capsule filler like this Cap-M-Quik + Tamper, Capsule Filling Filler Machine, size 00.Here's a very good resource on amino acids to teach you more: The Healing Nutrients Within. Amazon's Subscribe & Save price is excellent; highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. Slightly bitter taste, I add it to daily collagen and fruit drinks which disguises flavor. Excellent product! Amazing for skin :) Also if you ever have a cold sore, this works fast.

I highly recommend this product for l-lysine users so much easier than tablets.Good value,easy to use, good quality, and Prompt delivery..

Cute little small scoop mixes well in a smoothies and hot coffee, looks like little granules .

I tend to get canker sores when I'm stressed out or when I eat highly acidic foods. My dentist recommended that when I feel one coming on, I should take lysine, and he also prescribed a paste to put on the area before bed time. So as soon as I know I'm getting one, I put one scoop of this lysine powder into some juice, twice a day, and it works wonders. Granted, I'm using the paste as well and by using both, I can avoid the canker sore altogether - by the next morning, it's gone! Without the paste, just using the lysine, it means the canker sore is gone in a couple of days, so it's not like this is a miracle drug on its own but definitely worth having in your arsenal if canker sores are an issue for you. It is ridiculous that it took me so long to find out about this but glad I know now. I also hate swallowing pills so I really love that this is a powder that dissolves in juice easily so it's easy to swig it down. It doesn't taste great, but not terrible. Sort of adds a "plastic-y" taste to apple juice. So worth it though to avoid pesky canker sores that used to cause agony for 7-10 days at a time!
