We explored the effectiveness of lysine supplementation in treating herpes infections through a survey of 1,543 participants after a six-month trial. The findings revealed that a substantial 84% reported that lysine helped prevent recurrences or reduced the frequency of outbreaks.
Notably, only 8% of users described their symptoms as severe while taking lysine, compared to 79% who felt that way without it. Healing times improved significantly; 83% felt lesions healed in five days or less with lysine, while 90% said healing took longer without it. Overall, 88% regarded lysine as an effective treatment.

I purchased this item specifically to treat shingles and noted results within two days. It also effectively addresses mouth sores (canker sores). I recommend this in conjunction with tea tree oil and neem oil topically to clear shingles.

Quick relief
7 people found this helpful
For the prevention and treatment of cold sores, I find lysine essential. When I feel an itchy sensation signalling shingles, I take it immediately. Previously, I used 1000mg, but I now use 500mg since my symptoms have improved. It also helps my husband, who suffers from shingles, as it prevents flare-ups. I am diligent in monitoring my arginine intake too. This supplement provides me with reassurance.

Pain relief
1 people found this helpful
I was diagnosed with shingles not long ago. I treated it promptly, preventing a rash. After experiencing some similar tingling pain in my back, I took lysine, which relieved my discomfort instantly. This supplement has become a staple for me to manage future outbreaks. Furthermore, the tablets are easy to swallow, which is a bonus.

Minimal effectiveness
I bought this for shingles after my feet began hurting. Initially, it didn’t help much, but the next day, I tried again and felt slight relief. I can't take it daily due to other supplements but will use it when I feel pain again.

Improving condition

After experiencing itching from shingles, I took the risk of consuming 2000mg daily while monitoring my condition. Currently, I am on 1000mg and feel it's becoming better. Is this the amino effect?
