Dana starting Lysine How much and when to give?

[Guest guest]

Dana,

 

I have run out of OLE and decided to start Lysine.  Today I gave 250 mg three

times.  Two times with meals and other supplements and the last time at bed time

with melatonin and 5HTP.  Is that okay?  I know when I add back in OLE to keep

Lysine two hours away.

 

My boys weigh 34 pounds.  How much Lysine do I work up to?  They have

significant cognitive delays.

 

Thanks, Dana

That seems fine to me, so long as you don't notice any major problems.

Watch for yeast overgrowth.

Watch the symptoms. Keep the current dose for a few weeks, see what

happens. You can increase if you think it is required. For my son, I

would notice good things for a few weeks, then he would " stall " or

sometimes I could watch the lysine wear off before the next dose. So

I would increase the dose and things would get better again.
