HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lysine Mood Support by Good State

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: L-lysine hydrochloride, an amino acid form of lysine. The capsule itself includes cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Lysine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mood support and immune and energy support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Schizophrenia, anxiety, depression.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lysine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Schizophrenia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lysine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Stress.

Lysine is possibly effective for herpes labialis, commonly known as cold sores. The evidence for other uses — child growth, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers — is insufficient, meaning we don't have enough reliable data to rate them either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lysine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lysine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, though high amounts may cause stomach upset like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and indigestion. Long-term safety from supplementation hasn't been thoroughly studied.

There's one uncommon case report of kidney problems linked to oral lysine use. If you're pregnant, lysine from food is fine, but supplement safety during pregnancy hasn't been well studied — check with your doctor first.

Similarly, there isn't enough reliable information about lysine supplements while breastfeeding, so caution is advised. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lysine

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lysine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take a 5-HT4 agonist (a medication for certain digestive conditions), check it against this product before you start. Lysine may theoretically reduce how well it works.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Lysine makes sense if you're dealing with cold sores and want a possibly effective option. Keep an eye out for stomach upset, especially at higher doses.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking a 5-HT4 agonist, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

5-Ht4 Agonists

Theoretically, lysine may reduce the effects of 5-HT4 agonists.
Animal research suggests that L-lysine is a partial serotonin receptor 4 (5-HT4) antagonist and inhibits diarrhea induced by the 5-HT4 agonist, 5-hydroxytryptophane.

Lysine Mood Support by Good State: Common Questions

Does Lysine Mood Support by Good State interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lysine Mood Support has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lysine Mood Support contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does lysine actually help with cold sores?
The evidence says lysine is possibly effective for cold sores. That means there's some support for it, but it's not a lock — results vary from person to person. It's worth trying if you're looking for a natural option.
What side effects should I watch for?
At typical doses, lysine is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are stomach-related: abdominal pain, diarrhea, and indigestion. These tend to happen at higher amounts. There's also one rare case report of kidney problems, though that's uncommon.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant?
Lysine from food is fine during pregnancy, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor before starting a lysine supplement so you can make the right choice for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information on lysine supplements during breastfeeding. Caution is advised, so check with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.
Will this help with other things like wound healing?
The evidence for pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether lysine helps. Same goes for child growth. If you're interested in lysine for one of those uses, talk with your doctor.
