Lightbulb I cannot vouch for Lysine

and Chronic Fatigue, personally.

It is available as a powder (body builders use it alot) but I cannot vouch
its taste.

I would consider looking at other things that boost immunity as well. Such as zinc and selenium.
You have to be careful with selenium however...
http://dietary-supplements.info.nih....s/selenium.asp
It has a narrow therapeutic window, and can be toxic if overused.
200mcg is the typical upper limit (in people eating a typical diet).
I would not recommend more than 200mcg/day in a supplement.

I would also consider Googling immune support, and make sure you get
other nutrients for this...besides Lysine only.

Safety Issues

Although lysine is an essential part of the diet, the safety of concentrated lysine supplements has not been well studied. In animal studies, high dosages have caused gallstones and elevated cholesterol levels, 15,16 so you may want to use caution when using lysine if you have either of these problems. Maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.
