what is a safe amount of lysine to take per day?
The minimum dosage for lysine is 850 milligrams per day for an adult. The therapeutic dosage may be up to 3 grams per day. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults is 10 milligrams for every pound of body weight. So for an adult of 200 pounds, the dosage would be 2,000 milligrams, or 2 grams per day. This is a recommended daily dose for lysine; a therapeutic dose may be higher.
