Solgar L-Lysine 1000mg 250 Tablets is a food supplement providing 1000 mg of free-form L-lysine, an essential amino acid, in each tablet. Because the body cannot produce lysine itself, it needs to come from the diet or a supplement, making a single-ingredient, high-strength tablet a straightforward way to add it to a daily routine.

Key Features

• 1000 mg free-form L-lysine per tablet: A high-strength single dose of L-lysine (as HCl, free-form) in each tablet.
• Essential amino acid: L-lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot manufacture it and it must come from the diet or a supplement.
• Flexible dosing: Take one to three tablets daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by a healthcare professional, so the daily amount can be adjusted as advised.
• Vegan, vegetarian and kosher: Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and those keeping kosher.
• Free from common allergens: Free from sugar, salt, starch, gluten, wheat, dairy, soya and yeast, with no artificial preservatives or sweeteners.

What is L-lysine and why is it called an ""essential"" amino acid?

L-lysine is one of the amino acids that make up protein. It's described as essential because the body cannot manufacture it, so it must come from the diet or a supplement such as this one.

Can I take L-Lysine if I'm pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication?

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare practitioner before taking this product.

What's the difference between this L-Lysine 1000mg product and Solgar's L-Lysine 500mg Capsules?

This product provides 1000 mg of L-lysine in each tablet, in a 250-tablet pack, taken on an empty stomach. Solgar also offers L-Lysine 500mg Capsules in a 50-capsule pack, providing 500 mg of L-lysine per capsule (500-1000 mg across one to two capsules), taken between meals with juice or water. Both provide the same free-form L-lysine; the difference is the strength per dose, the tablet or capsule format, and the pack size.
