Why do you take Lysine? What does it do for you personally?

Most cold sores/fever blisters are caused by a virus in your system & I USED to get them frequently. I’ve been taking1000mg of Lysine daily for the past 30 years, & as long as I take it DAILY, I simply DO NOT get them!! If I go MORE than 2-3 days WITHOUT Lysine & am out in the sun or get sick, I usually end up getting another one!! When that happens, if I up my dose to around 8000mg/day for 2-3 days at the FIRST sign of a breakout, it STOPS the growth & will HEAL it quickly!! Lysine CHANGED my LIFE!!

what size are the pills?

They are really too large. I have had to take lots of medications, and this size in a capsule is OK for me. But these seem always to get stuck, so have stopped taking them. "Horse pills" is right.

Sorry for the late answer. Nowfoods.com lists this as vegetarian/vegan here: http://www.nowfoods.com/L-Lysine-1000mg-Double-Strength-100-Tablets.htm

What type of lysine is this (e.g. hydrocholoride). Where is it sourced from? Is it synthetically produced or a whole food supplement?

Hydrochloride this is what I could find on the product:Made in the USA Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. NOW® L-Lysine is a Pharmaceutical Grade essential amino acid. GMP Quality Assured.. I have used Now brand but on the 1000 mg it was not a capsule so last time I purchased a different brand and it does not seem to be helping as much as the NOW brand has. I will be switching back and swalling pills...they are coated just a little big.
