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.

Long-lasting effects
Excellent lysine; I used it for herpes zoster (Shingles). It’s known to be painful and unpleasant. After taking Lysin, everything disappeared. For over three years, I had no issues. I now take it every six months to maintain the effect. Highly recommend.

Helps symptoms effectively
This truly seems to assist with the symptoms of Shingles. I highly recommend it. The tablets aren’t difficult to swallow; although about an inch long, they are shaped for ease of ingestion. They don’t cause any aftertaste.

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!
