Do you take Lysine with food or without?
I bought some vitamins called L-Lysine (500mg) and the directions say to take it twice a day on an empty stomach. I was online and some L-Lysine require to take it with food, which procedure works best??

L-Lysine may react or get "absorbed" by other foods, and become unusable in your system. Taking it without food presents it in it’s most "natural state" as it gets absorbed by you intestines. Sometimes taking it with a meal may cause too much HCL (stomach acid) and break down the components.
Therefore, taking it without food would cause a larger amount to enter your system.

Um i would just go with the instructions, take it on an empty stomach. I think the company who produces the vitamin would know better than some internet forum
