Heart palpitations due to lysine?
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2018 9:43 am
A new customer says that the Cardio gave him heart palpitations at the amount recommended and he needed hospitalization.
The hospital reportedly told him large amounts of Lysine may do that.
Fortunately, something like this is rare, and it is important for us to understand what else you were taking, what the diagnosis was, etc. A professor of Cardiology and medical doctor monitors our forum, and his experience has been invaluable. But the more details you can provide, the better.
As our customer base grows, it is hard to "educate" everyone, especially since Pauling's invention (high dose vitamin C and lysine) has NEVER been studied (or lets say, a study has never been published - begging the question, how would the hospital know that high lysine caused your problem?)
Lysine may have, but we have been advised that 10% of the population reacts to the medicinal herb stevia. There is NO research to back up a statement that lysine caused the problem.
We just posted an answer to another potential customer who is worried about lysine here:

Now if we had spoken with you, we would have advised to work up slowly (although most people that adopt the maximum dosage to start have no problems.). See:

We look forward to details of your case/incident.
