Solgar L-Lysine 1000mg Tablets are food supplements that provide 1000mg of the essential amino acid L-lysine (as hydrochloride) in each tablet. The directions are one tablet a day, so a pack of 50 tablets lasts 50 days.

Key Features

• 1000mg of L-lysine per tablet: Each tablet provides 1000mg of L-lysine, supplied as L-lysine HCl (hydrochloride).
• One tablet a day: Adults take 1 tablet daily with juice or water in between meals, so one dose comes from a single tablet.
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians: Solgar states that the tablets are vegan, vegetarian and kosher.
• Free from common additives: The label lists the tablets as free of gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners, and artificial flavours or colours. Solgar also describes them as free from sugar, salt and starch.

What is L-lysine?

L-lysine is an essential amino acid, which means the body cannot make it and it has to come from the diet. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Solgar notes that foods such as meat, beans, cheese and eggs supply amino acids. There are no authorised GB nutrition or health claims for L-lysine, so this page makes no claims about what it does in the body.

How is this different from Solgar's L-Lysine 500mg capsules?

Solgar sells L-Lysine 500mg Vegetable Capsules as a separate product. The tablets on this page contain 1000mg of L-lysine each, twice the amount in each 500mg capsule, and are taken as 1 tablet a day.

Are the tablets suitable for vegans?
