What is Lysine?
Lysine is an amino acid that you obtain naturally through your diet. It is one of the amino acids that can only be acquired through your diet (or by taking a Lysine supplement).
Taken in adequate dosages, this amino acid has been scientifically proven to "slow down" and retard the growth of the herpes virus, as well as inhibit viral replication. Viral replication is when the virus grows and multiplies in larger numbers.
Studies have shown that supplements of Lysine can reduce the frequency and intensity of herpes and cold sore outbreaks. The outcome is likely to be more substantial if a supplement is taken that contains Lysine along with other nutrients that are indicated for herpes, such as Vitamin C, Bioflavonoids and Zinc, which have been proven in Clinical Trials to improve healing time and reduce the frequency of episodes.
These nutrients work cohesively together and along with Lysine can help to suppress outbreaks and strengthen the skin. Tip, don't pass on the Bioflavonoids because they work in synergy with the other nutrients, making them more effectively utilized by the body. Bioflavonoids have also been demonstrated to help stop an outbreak before it starts.
