We prefer this brand because...

This formula contains a particularly high concentration of L-Lysine at 1,000mg per capsule, meaning that our patients need fewer capsules to reach a preventive dose for cold sores or genital herpes, usually 750 to 1,000 mg daily total. For an acute outbreak or oral or genital herpes, the treatment dose of 3,000 mg daily is also more easily achieved with these potent capsules.

About this product

Lysine is an essential amino acid which the body cannot make and must take in from a supplement or foods. It is a potent immune booster with specific benefits for cold sores and genital herpes. L-Lysine is required for muscle growth and tissue repair, and it has important roles in making crucial antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Lysine is also a precursor of L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative needed for cardiovascular health and for the metabolizing fatty acids for energy production in cells.
