L-lysine for herpes types 2 outbreak suppression?

[faithcast123]

Hello everyone. I was doing a bit of research and was wondering if anyone has an opinion on taking l-lysine supplements for viral suppression or keeping outbreaks at bay any good?

 

Thanks:)

I take lysine and antivirals, and I still get outbreaks. :) I would say it can't hurt.

Yeah it's worth a try I'm a bit pensive about going on suppresive medication so I'll see how the natural way goes thanks a lot! @marie14

The so-called experts will tell you it has no effect ... but I have seem many who say that their OB's stopped or slowed down while on it... it won't hurt you to try it ... :)

I think that it helps me heal more than anything. I was out of refills and seem to heal super slow without antivirals. I decided to take lysine, and the one sore that wasn't healing very quickly improved a lot after that.

If anything, it should help balance out the arginine you consume! H thrives on Arginine (you may notice prodromes after eating edamame or drinking coffee). Lysine supplements let me consume trigger foods more peacefully :) and if I'm not mistaken the body can't make Lysine, so supplements would help get it in there!
