Solgar L-Lysine 500mg 50 Capsules is a food supplement providing 500 mg of free-form L-lysine, an essential amino acid, in each vegetable capsule. Because lysine is essential, meaning the body cannot make it, taking one to two capsules gives a flexible way to reach 500-1000 mg a day from the diet or a supplement.

Key Features

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

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