Are these real capsules or are they tablets? How easy are they to swallow? I have a strong gag reflex. Have trouble swallow large tables.
What is the recommended dosage per day?

Best Answer:  I take 1000 mg daily and have for years to help bolster my immune system. Seems to work!! I also give it to my cats but only 250 mg in the a.m. and 250 in the p.m. One has gingivitis and it helps to control that. The other takes it as an immune system bolster as well as they both go outside and have exposure to other cats who may not be as healthy. Hope this helps!

I take an L-Lysine 500mg. at times when I get a sore or blister in my mouth, on my tongue, gums, etc. However the tablets I have been getting are so big I cannot swallow them.
Are there any Lysine products in soft capsule form that are easy to swallow?

Best Answer:  The Lysine capsules are much easier to swallow. They aren't small, but I take them with yogurt. In fact, I take all of my supplements with yogurt, and I find they go down much easier that way.

Anothre site suggested that this might be useful to treat Bell's Palsy. Any feedback?

Best Answer:  I use L-Lysine daily to prevent/treat herpes simplex, which occurs inside my mouth. Works great. Have not heard about Bell's Palsy treatment, but it couldn't hurt to try -- it's safe enough.

I keep a pitcher of fresh-brewed decaf green tea (bought in bulk from Amazon) in my fridge (add lemon juice & sweetener) & drink it daily instead of water. A surprise side-effect several years ago was that it cured my rosacea! I now blend it with hibiscus -- not only healthy, but delicious. Hey, you never know!

    SKIN - HAIR - NAILS
    - Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by 19%
    - Thickens and strengthens hair
    - Strengthens nails
    - Promotes healthy bones and joints

    The condition of your skin, hair, and nails depends on three proteins: collagen, keratin, and elastin. They are known as your "Beauty Proteins". Collagen "plumps" the skin, removing wrinkles and preventing them from forming. In addition, collagen helps to continuously hydrate your skin from the inside out. Keratin is the protein that's packed into your hair shaft. Keratin gives your hair thickness, body, strength and elasticity. Plus, keratin gives your nails strength and clarity. Elastin gives your skin its ability to stretch and "bounce back" preventing fine lines and wrinkles. With age, all three decline. BioSil is specifically formulated to help nourish your body's beauty proteins to restore them to more youthful levels. New research demonstrates that BioSil (ch-OSA) promotes healthy bones and joints. A recent study shows ch-OSA along with calcium and vitamin D improves bone mineral density at the hip region by 2% compared to calcium and vitamin D alone - or twice the clinically relevant threshold. In addition, ch-OSA demonstrated an overall clinically relevant improvement in collagen and other key bone formation markers.
