NOW Foods L-Lysine Powder
Description
NOW L-Lysine Powder is a pure, unflavored form of the essential amino acid L-lysine, for adults who want a measurable powder they can add to a daily routine instead of taking tablets or capsules.
Lysine cannot be made by the body, so it must be obtained through diet or supplementation, and it is required to build every protein in the body.
Each 1/4 level teaspoon serving, about 552 mg of powder, supplies 435 mg of L-Lysine from L-Lysine Hydrochloride, with no other ingredients added. The 1 lb container holds about 822 servings.
Take 1/4 level teaspoon daily, mixed into water or another beverage. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility and it carries Non-GMO, Kosher, and Vegan certifications, and is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the powder over tablets or capsules?
The powder lets you measure a precise dose and mix it into water or a shake instead of swallowing a pill, which some people find easier for a daily amino acid routine.
Does it have a flavor?
No. NOW lists no other ingredients in this product, so it is unflavored and dissolves into water or another beverage without added taste.
How does the powder compare to the 500 mg tablets?
A 1/4 teaspoon serving of powder supplies 435 mg of L-Lysine, close to the 500 mg in one tablet or veg capsule; the powder just lets you scale the dose up or down more precisely.
Is this vegan?

Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
