The Lysine / Arginine Thread

[hippyherpy]

Can't find definitive answers on this.

 

Is there any science behind the relationship between Lysine, Arginine, and Herpes? If so, is it just for HSV1 or does it also apply to HSV2?

 

What about Lysine supplements? Do they really help at all? If you take 500 mg of Lysine everyday, will that really counteract, say, 30 grams of arginine you might be getting from your daily protein powder?

I mix protein powder with oatmeal some mornings for a quick breakfast, but also do a pre workout meal and post workout meal with protein powder and have no issues. Been doing this for at least 15 yrs
