We set out to uncover how certain amino acids, particularly lysine, help with cold acclimation. Over three months, 20 men were monitored for physiological changes after being exposed to cold.
We found that continuous exposure led to faster cold-induced vasodilation and improved finger temperature. Notably, lysine was the only amino acid that significantly changed and positively correlated with these improvements in cold response.
In mouse trials, lysine supplementation helped maintain core body temperature during cold exposure, indicating its role in supporting metabolic adjustments to the cold.

This product speeds up the healing time for cold sores. My girlfriend, who has struggled with them her entire life, recently had one forming. After taking a tablet daily, her sore is in its last stages and did not fully develop. She highly recommends it to anyone who feels a cold sore coming on.

This product is nothing short of miraculous! I woke up with what appeared to be a cold sore and immediately ordered lysine. I took several tablets since then, and this morning there was nothing! My lips are now soft and hydrated. I can't believe how well it works!

Stops cold sore outbreaks
9 people found this helpful
Wonderful! Great for cold sore outbreaks! I take 2000mg at the first sign (tingle, but no visible sore) and do this 2-3 times a day. In a couple of days, it's gone! Many others I know also take it at the first sign of a cold or sore throat, as it works well to stop it in its tracks. You must start right at the first signs of illness and ensure you take enough and often for it to be effective.
