Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hi, Kathy. I'm sorry to hear about the downturn of your health. You should be able to handle 3 grams of lysine per day, preferably spread out during the day. If you go much higher than that and maintain it for a long time, you can experience possible kidney problems, but 3 grams per day should be fine. Rich > > How much Lysine is too much, Rich?
