Quercetin

We investigated the effectiveness of the herbal treatment Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin for managing cold sores. Our study involved a retrospective chart review with 68 participants who took 1 to 4 capsules daily over varying periods.

The results were promising, showing that 89.3% of participants benefited. The treatment significantly reduced both the number and duration of outbreaks compared to control groups. Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin also outperformed traditional medications like acyclovir and valacyclovir without any side effects.

We strongly suggest considering Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin as a preventive option for oral herpes.

In our challenging times, I’ve read a lot about this drug being part of treatment protocols. I self-diagnosed back in February 2020 but didn't visit the doctor. I bought it for prevention, particularly during the cold season alongside vitamin C. After reading reviews mentioning easier breathing after 20 minutes, I decided to try it. I mixed the capsule with water and felt immediate relief; my nose started breathing smoothly. This is the best product I've tried so far. I highly recommend it!

Iron

Iron therapy reduces cold sore frequency
We investigated how iron replacement therapy affects the occurrence of cold sores, also known as recurrent herpes labialis, in people with low iron levels, a condition known as sideropenia. In our study, ten patients with confirmed sideropenia and a history of cold sores took ferrous sulphate for three months.

Before starting the treatment, these individuals reported experiencing an average of 0.78 episodes of cold sores each month. After the iron therapy, this number significantly dropped to just 0.2 episodes monthly. Furthermore, we found that there was a noteworthy increase in serum ferritin levels, a marker indicative of iron status, after treatment.

The results suggest that iron therapy may play a significant role in reducing the frequency of cold sores for those affected by iron deficiency. These findings are intriguing and warrant further exploration into iron supplementation as a potential option for managing cold sores in individuals with low iron levels.

I administered this iron supplement with my daughter, and after four months, her ferritin rose from 7.5 to 34, which stabilised. Initially, she experienced intestinal issues, but after adjusting the dosage, everything was fine, and iron levels normalised. Previously, low ferritin resulted in frequent colds. Hemoglobin was 135, so I find this drug very effective!

Turmeric Curcumin

Curcumin and blue light therapy
We explored the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using curcumin and blue light for treating recurrent cold sores, specifically herpes labialis. This innovative treatment approach was assessed based on its ability to accelerate the healing of lesions and reduce their recurrence.

Our findings suggest that PDT shows promise as a safe and cost-effective option for managing this troublesome condition. However, it is important to note that the study was primarily focused on the combined effect of curcumin with PDT, making it difficult to determine the isolated benefits of curcumin on its own for cold sore treatment.

Overall, our research highlights an exciting potential pathway for alleviating the symptoms associated with recurring herpes labialis, paving the way for future studies to further investigate its components and their individual effects.

Curcumin is essential if you suffer from pain or inflammation. It's proven to be as effective as ibuprofen for symptoms like joint pain, headaches, and possibly even anxiety linked to inflammation. I double the dose when I sense a flu or cold approaching, which helps me recover quicker.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C shows potential for cold sores
We conducted a clinical pilot study to evaluate the effects of a combination treatment of lignin—a substance derived from pine cones—mixed with vitamin C on cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Our study included 48 healthy participants, ranging from 4 to 61 years old, who had active lesions of HSV-1.

Participants received a daily dose of the lignin-ascorbic acid treatment for one month. Notably, those who began the treatment within the first 48 hours after the onset of symptoms did not develop typical cold sore lesions. For others who started later, we observed a shorter duration of cold sores and less severe symptoms compared to their previous outbreaks.

Many participants reported a reduction in both the severity and frequency of their cold sore episodes during treatment. Although the results suggest some benefits of this combination treatment, it’s important to note that vitamin C was part of the blend, making it challenging to evaluate its individual effect on cold sores directly.

Thus, while the combination of lignin and vitamin C appears promising for preventing and treating HSV-1 infection, further studies isolating vitamin C's effects would be helpful to understand its specific role in managing cold sores.

I began taking vitamin C after suffering from persistent cold sores due to herpes for three years. Despite trying ointments and antiherpetic drugs, nothing worked. A pharmacist advised me to take vitamin C with zinc, and it worked! My cold sores have been absent for three years. My family uses a similar regimen, and none of my children have missed school due to illness. Vitamin C is my go-to, combined with Ginkgo Biloba and others, leading to fewer bruises and strengthened vessels.

Zinc

We explored the relationship between zinc levels and recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores) through a study involving 43 patients with a history of this condition and 42 healthy individuals. By measuring serum zinc levels using a colorimetric method, we aimed to find out whether these levels differ significantly between both groups and how they relate to the severity and duration of cold sore episodes.

Although we found that serum zinc levels did not significantly differ between the patients and healthy subjects, we observed an interesting correlation regarding recovery times. Specifically, lower serum zinc levels appeared to be linked to longer recovery periods from cold sores. This suggests that zinc might play a role in speeding up recovery, though it was not a significant factor influencing relapse frequency or patient demographics such as age and sex.

Overall, while the study didn’t establish a direct benefit of zinc supplementation, the findings indicate that zinc deficiency might contribute to longer-lasting cold sores. Therefore, we suggest that evaluating zinc levels in patients experiencing recurrent cold sores could be beneficial and that zinc supplementation may be worth considering in treatment protocols.

Vitamins

We explored how a specific genetic variant associated with vitamin D might influence the occurrence of cold sores, also known as Herpes Simplex Labialis (HSL). Our research involved nearly 1,800 participants from the TwinsUK registry, with a focus on a group of 595 that completed both blood tests and questionnaires regarding their cold sore experiences.

From the participants surveyed, 235 reported having experienced cold sores at least once, and out of these, 160 indicated that they had recurrent episodes. While we investigated several genetic variants, including three commonly discussed in relation to cold sores, we found no significant links between these particular SNPs and the occurrence or recurrence of cold sores.

However, our analysis did reveal a noteworthy association with a genetic variation in the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene. This variant was significantly correlated with both the history of cold sore outbreaks and their frequency. While this suggests a potential relationship between vitamin D-related genetics and cold sore experiences, it does not mean that vitamin D treatment has a proven direct effect on reducing these occurrences.

Overall, our findings provide an intriguing glimpse into the genetic factors that may play a role in cold sore reactivation, especially as it pertains to the VDR gene. Yet, since we didn't explore the direct effects of vitamin D supplementation, more research would be needed to conclusively determine how vitamin D treatment might influence cold sore frequency.

Calcium spirulan may help cold sores
We investigated the potential of calcium spirulan, a compound derived from the microalga Spirulina platensis, to help prevent cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). In a thorough study, we assessed the effectiveness of this sulfated polysaccharide both in laboratory tests and through a practical trial involving people with recurring herpes labialis, also known as cold sores.

Our approach included examining how calcium spirulan affected the virus’s ability to attach to human skin cells. Using various experiments such as plaque reduction assays and analyzing viral proteins, we confirmed that calcium spirulan had significant inhibitory effects on HSV-1. In the practical trial, we compared the effects of topical calcium spirulan treatment against other commonly used antiviral medications among 198 participants, all of whom dealt with repeat cold sore outbreaks.

The results suggest that calcium spirulan could be a valuable option for topical treatment, offering new hope for those who suffer from cold sores. Additionally, our findings indicate that calcium spirulan may also show effectiveness against other herpesviruses. This points to the broader clinical implications of using natural compounds like calcium spirulan in managing viral infections.

Spirulina greatly aids in fighting colds. I trust this brand for its quality and affordability. Other brands, such as Solgar, charge two to three times more. It’s important to consider the dosage and ingredients; this product has 100% organic Spirulina. It’s particularly effective for preventing cold sores and is rich in B vitamins. If my review is helpful, please give it a thumbs up!

Wonderful cream!
Most Useful Review
2 people found this helpful
For a trial price, a cream that can transform your skin in a week! I don’t like face creams, but De La Cruz cream with vitamin E was worth a try. The aroma is heavy and reminiscent of incense, but you quickly get accustomed to it. The texture is dense and white, applying best to completely dry skin. It absorbs quickly, leaving no stickiness or tightness. It moisturises well and has anti-inflammatory properties due to vitamin E, which helps with skin regeneration. It does not clog pores or create a film, which is a common issue with my other creams. This cream is fantastic, although a bit too thick for warm weather. The small jar is convenient for travel.

Oh, that's great! This is truly cold-pressed oil of excellent quality. It has a delicate aroma of pomegranate and a lovely pink hue. I apply it on areas with wrinkles after using rose water, waiting a short while before applying serum and cream. The oil has a viscous consistency but absorbs well into the skin. I am very pleased with the results; with regular use, my wrinkles have significantly diminished, and my skin appears healthier. I also create handmade creams, so this pomegranate oil will be a key ingredient in them. I will definitely continue to purchase it! The packaging is convenient, with a dropper included. I recommend it for dry skin and anti-aging purposes.

Reduced abscess growth
Most Useful Review
Effective but challenging to use. Due to frequent cold sores on the vulva, I consulted my doctor numerous times without identifying the cause, and the ointment was ineffective. After using this for two days, it clearly inhibited the growth of my abscesses. The tea tree oil solidified, and it should be inserted into the lower body immediately upon opening. It dissolves easily, but on my first attempt, I dropped it due to the oily plug. The second attempt was difficult as it slipped out of place while putting on underwear. Since it turns to oil, my pads stained and had inadequate suction, causing them to penetrate the underwear. Daily sanitary napkins would be a better choice.

Effective for improving poor circulation! I’m grateful that Angelica acutiloba is available at this price. About two months after starting it, I noticed an improvement in circulation. This winter, I wasn't overly concerned about feeling colder than usual. I’ll continue to take it every winter from now on.

I truly appreciate these probiotics, especially during cold season. Having them has been beneficial for maintaining my immunity, as it's known that immunity originates in the intestines. They’ve proven effective; I didn’t fall ill last autumn and winter, and I plan to purchase them again this September.

Soothes sore throat
Most Useful Review

I purchased these lozenges for myself and find them much better than the picolinate form I used previously. The taste is pleasant and they soothe my throat effectively. Unlike other pharmaceutical preparations, they don’t make me feel nauseous, provided I take them with food. I’ve noticed a significant effect when I begin to feel a sore throat; I use them every two hours as instructed, which greatly eases my discomfort. I highly recommend them!

I deem slippery elm a miracle for managing GERD. Traditional medicines often lead to adverse side effects, whereas slippery elm provides rapid relief. After my first capsule, I noticed significant improvement in my sore throat and reduced acid sensation. I wholeheartedly recommend discussing its use with your doctor if you suffer from gastrointestinal mucosal issues.

A remarkable drug for women! During the premenstrual period, I experienced soreness in my breasts and other symptoms like bloating and irritability, but these disappeared after taking evening primrose oil. I want to reorder it as it worked wonders for me.

PMS improvement
Most Useful Review

This is an excellent supplement I've taken periodically as prescribed by my doctor. It aids with PMS and balances hormones. The soreness in my chest has disappeared, and mood swings are less frequent. I usually undergo a three-month treatment from day 14 of my cycle. Though the tablets are large, they are easy to swallow.

Disappeared sore throat

The iodine I’ve ordered at a friend's suggestion has yielded results. She has a thyroid issue and mentioned her sore throat vanished after a month of use. Her endocrinologist noted her improvement and she attributed it to this iodine, though the doctor questioned the dosage. In my case, my doctor confirmed the dosage is normal. This isn’t my first purchase; I keep reordering for myself and friends. Previously, I used another brand which caused constipation, but this product had no side effects.

After struggling with hypothyroidism and low blood pressure, I turned to Life Extension's Sea-Iodine. Their supplements are consistently high-quality, which gave me confidence. I take it weekly, and it has substantially eased my symptoms. I used to feel cold, tired, and weak, but within days of using it, I no longer feel cold. It has also boosted my energy and concentration, making it a vital supplement for managing my hypothyroidism.

Aloe Vera Skin Care

Effective for cold sores
Most Useful Review
I often use aloe vera gel for various purposes, particularly for the dandruff-like crust that appears at my hairline after a shower. I find it helpful for cold sores as well; applying it cold soothes the skin, especially after sun exposure. I love wrapping it with cotton, chilling it in the fridge, then placing it on my eyes to reduce lines. I also find it beneficial for my mother’s vitiligo and sunburns.

Omega-3 has effectively maintained my beauty, youth, and health. This product significantly improved the condition of my hair, nails, and skin. It has also calmed me down; my hair stopped falling out, and my complexion has improved. Omega-3 is essential, especially during the winter when skin and hair are challenged by cold weather.

I found this small supplement remarkable; after finishing the previous bottle, I've purchased a larger one! At 100mg per tablet, this ubiquinol enhances energy production, promoting a healthier body without fatigue, essential for dieting. I've noted improved blood circulation and much better tolerance to cold since starting. I recommend it, especially for those feeling older stresses.

I don't tire as easily since I started taking this antioxidant, which also includes astaxanthin, administered every other day. My recovery rate has significantly improved, and I hardly catch colds anymore. My attention to supplements and diet plays a part, but the strength of this supplement is noteworthy in supporting me.
