Description: Puritan’s Pride L-Lysine is a high-potency dietary supplement containing 1000mg of L-Lysine, an essential amino acid that the human body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained through diet or supplementation. L-Lysine plays a critical role in the synthesis of proteins and is a foundational building block for collagen, the main structural protein in skin, tendons, and bones. It is widely recognized for its ability to support the immune system, particularly in managing the frequency and severity of cold sores.
In Nigeria, Puritan’s Pride L-Lysine is a popular choice for individuals looking to maintain healthy skin integrity and boost their natural defenses. It is available through authorized health retailers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive a genuine, premium-grade supplement stored in optimal conditions to preserve the stability of the free-form amino acids.
Important: L-Lysine is a nutritional supplement and should be used as part of a balanced diet. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use. While effective for skin health, it is not a cure for viral infections. Discontinue use and consult your physician if any adverse reactions occur.
Puritan’s Pride L-Lysine 1000mg is primarily used to:
Support Immune Function: Helps the body maintain its natural defenses against external stressors
Manage Cold Sores: Widely used to reduce the recurrence and healing time of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) outbreaks
Promote Collagen Production: Essential for the formation of collagen, supporting healthy skin, lips, and connective tissues
Aid Calcium Absorption: Helps the body absorb calcium more efficiently and reduces its loss through urine
Support Muscle Recovery: As an amino acid, it contributes to the repair of muscle tissues after strenuous activity
This product is suitable for:
Individuals prone to frequent cold sores or fever blisters
People looking to improve skin elasticity and overall dermatological health
Athletes and active individuals seeking support for connective tissue and muscle repair
Vegetarians and vegans who may have lower dietary intake of lysine-rich animal proteins
Not recommended for: Individuals with rare genetic disorders of lysine metabolism. Use with caution if you have kidney disease, as high doses of amino acids can increase the workload on the kidneys. Always consult a healthcare provider if you are taking supplemental calcium, as lysine can increase calcium absorption.

How does L-Lysine help with cold sores?
Arginine is an amino acid that the cold sore virus needs to replicate. Lysine competes with arginine in the body; by increasing your lysine levels, you effectively "starve" the virus, which can help prevent or shorten outbreaks.
Can I take this every day?
Yes, many people take 500mg to 1000mg daily as a preventative measure for immune support. However, always follow the specific guidance of your healthcare provider for long-term supplementation.
Can I take this with my calcium supplement?
Yes, but be aware that Lysine increases calcium absorption. If you are on a high-dose calcium regimen, monitor your levels with your doctor to ensure they stay within a healthy range.
