100 Capsules

Lysine Plus supports lip health and the immune defences for the lips. Stress as well as sun exposure, alcohol, sugar and low immunity can weaken the lip defences.

When you feel that “tingle” you know one is on its way, the dreaded Cold Sore!
Lysine is an amino acid that has particular abilities in slowing down and inhibiting the replication of the virus that causes cold sore outbreaks.  Studies have shown that Lysine can reduce the frequency and intensity of the cold sore outbreak by suppressing the viruses ability to use L-Arginine, another amino acid, to replicate it self and therefore cause an outbreak.

Foods that are rich in Lysine should be included in the diet for example fish and shellfish, bean sprouts, brewers yeast, milk, beans, eggs and turkey.  During an outbreak foods that contain Arginine should be avoided such as chicken, wheat germ, nuts like almonds, peanuts, walnuts and cashews and also chocolate.
 
Generally a maintenance dosage of 500mg twice a day is suggested for prevention, increased to as much as 2000 to 3000mg daily if the onset of symptoms such as the tingling are noticed.
