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.

It works immediately! I took it as soon as I felt under the weather, and in my case, it prevented herpes from developing and subsided in a day. It’s incredibly helpful, especially for those suffering from shingles.

Magic formula
I take one daily to keep shingles at bay. I’ve tried other lysine products, but this one is the magic formula. I even break them in half to swallow more easily!

Essential for preventing shingles and herpes. The herpes virus appears to activate with excess arginine, but lysine doesn't cause this excess. Taking it at the onset of back pain helps alleviate symptoms and prevents progression. I consider lysine an essential supplement for managing shingles and herpes.

I usually buy 180 tablets, but this time I got 90 for a friend with shingles. I’ve used it for years when I feel an outbreak coming or when I’m run down. Taking it early often calms symptoms and prevents a flare-up of shingles or a cold.

Taking 1500mg of lysine has improved my immune system and helps with my frequent herpes simplex infections. I feel my immunity gets better when I take it occasionally. It's highly recommended for shingles and related conditions.
