Herpes rashes on the lips respond well to lysine. If administered at the very onset of a bubble, and taken as much as 3-5 g during the day, it hardly develops and does not mar my appearance. I also provide it to my children at the first signs of ARVI, up to 2 g a day for no longer than 5 days. It worked excellently with chickenpox; everything was manageable and resolved quickly.

Quick rash healing
Lysine works wonders for the herpes virus. I gave it to my child for chickenpox, and the rashes disappeared swiftly; not all of them turned into papules. I used it for herpes zoster as well, which also subsided quite quickly.

User-friendly capsules
Super product! The supplement works superbly. I administered it to my children during chickenpox. The capsules are medium-sized, making them easy for the child to swallow. I even opened the capsules for my younger son; the taste is quite acceptable.
