Helps to reduce the recurrence, severity, and healing time of cold sores.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning your body needs it but cannot manufacture it so you must consume enough in your diet or in a supplement. The best food sources are red meat, fish, dairy, eggs, beans, and legumes. By competing with L-Arginine, another amino acid, L-Lysine helps counteract the Herpes virus that causes cold sores when your immune system is weakened. Fatigue, overwork, intense exercise, and emotional problems can all create the stress that weakens your immune system and brings the Herpes virus out of hiding. It invades target cells and replicates, creating the blisters known as cold sores. As it is difficult to achieve therapeutic levels of L-Lysine from dietary sources alone, supplementation is the most effective tool to inhibit the replication of the Herpes virus and reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks.
