Individuals with Lysinuric Protein Intolerance (a rare genetic disorder) should not take L-lysine supplements, as it may cause gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and stomach cramps. Lysine’s anti-viral qualities may be further enhanced when used with vitamin C and or immune stimulating herbs such as Echinacea.
