L-Lysine

essential amino acid

capsule/cream/tablets

Although best known as a very effective herpes treatment, Lysine is no single purpose supplement.

Deserves recognition for its help in preventing osteoporosis and cataracts, preserving muscle tissue and helps you in recuperating from stress.

In addition, it maintains energy levels and keeps the heart strong by providing the ingredients to make the amino acid Carnitine.

Lysine is one the essential amino acids that the body cannot make on its own, but most people obtain it from consuming animal proteins in meats. Therefore vegetarians and low-fat dieters may not get enough.

Cooking a protein food along with sugar and the process of milling (processed foods) destroys Lysine.

Lysine has been used by many cold sore sufferers for years as a treatment to prevent recurrences. It reduces both the number of number of outbreaks as well as lessen their severity in some people.

It becomes an ally with Arginine in strengthening our immune system. With proline and Vitamin C, it may reverse the artery-blocking effects of lipoprotein, thus helping in treating heart disease.

When used as a preventive treatment, you should avoid nuts, chocolate, seeds, cereal grains, gelatin, carob, and raisins and eat more meat, milk, fish, chicken, beans, eggs, and Brewer's Yeast.

  • Recommended Dosage
For suppressing herpes, 1-2g daily; works better if combined with sugar-free diet and supplements of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Bioflavonoids and Bromelain.
Taking Lysine and Arginine in a daily dose of 1-3g each should provide immune support against viruses.
If you need to treat a current outbreak of blisters, take 1 to 6 grams of Lysine between meals (but with some carbohydrates such as milk or yogurt) until they heal, then drop to the daily dose of 500 mg to prevent recurrences.
