Vitacost L-Lysine Plus -- 90 Tablets 4.5 5 6 15

disappointed I'm a bit disappointed with this product. I think the tablet may hinder its effectiveness. Amino acids seem to work better for the body when in powder (capsule) or liquid form. I will not buy it again. February 15, 2010

An important, but often forgotten, supplement Okay, let's face it. I'm 60 years old and wear dentures. I have never had much luck with them, always painful, resulting in a sore here, and blister there. How annoying. But I talked to my doctor about this, and he told me that L-Lysine was an amino acid that would help keep my gums healthy, and is not usually found in multi-vitamins. So, since I have bought this supplement, I really can notice the absence of painful sore spots when I wear my dentures for an extended period of time. It works, and I would use anything that would alleviate the effects of even new dentures. Give it a try and see if it works for you. April 20, 2009

Hard Pill to Swallow The ingredients and effectiveness as well as the quality are great; like most NSI supplements. However, these pills are really big, very hard (unlike a capsule or soft-gel) and can be difficult to swallow and you have to take 3 of them for one dose. March 13, 2009

Good product As described October 9, 2008

NSI L-Lysine Plus -- 1000 mg per serving- 90 Table I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL VITAMIN SITES AND THIS BRAND AND FORMULATION SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST VALUES FOR THE MONEY THAT CAN BE FOUND. I HAVE FAITH IN THE BRAND, THEY SEEM TO BE GOOD FORMULATIONS WITH AN INTEREST IN ABSORBABILITY. October 8, 2008

Vitacost L-Lysine Plus Description

Multi-nutrient formula combines L-lysine and vitamins C and B6, plus added zinc.

What is Vitacost L-Lysine Plus?

Vitacost L-Lysine Plus is a combination formula that supplies 1,000 mg of L-Lysine, plus added vitamin C, vitamin B6 and zinc.

L-lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot synthesize it on its own—it must be obtained through diet, mainly from foods high in protein. L-lysine is important for normal growth and development and required for healthy bones, skin, collagen and elastin.*

L-lysine is converted to acetyl CoA, a critical part of metabolizing carbohydrates for energy.* Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which helps transport fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production and other functions.*

How does Vitacost L-Lysine Plus support health?

Supports immune system function.*
May support a healthy cardiovascular system.*
Supports calcium absorption, making it more available for biological functions.*
Often combined with herbs or other amino acids for complementary effects, such as immune or cardiovascular support or helping to reduce occasional mental stress and anxiety.*
Has an antagonistic relationship with L-arginine, making it potentially useful for reducing arginine levels.*

Why choose Vitacost L-Lysine Plus ?
