R 369.00
L-lysine 1000mg, the amino acid for cold sore management.
COLD SORE SUPPRESSION
L-lysine competes with arginine for cell uptake. Higher lysine-to-arginine ratios suppress herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) replication, the cause of recurrent cold sores.
COLLAGEN BUILDING BLOCK
Lysine is essential for collagen cross-linking, the step that gives connective tissue its tensile strength.
CALCIUM ABSORPTION COFACTOR
Lysine supports gut calcium absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, supporting bone health.
PLANT-BASED DIET GAP
Lysine is the limiting amino acid in grain-heavy diets. Plant-based eaters and athletes on grain-dominant meals can fall short.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- L-Lysine 1000mg (from 1270mg L-Lysine Hydrochloride)
- An essential amino acid required for collagen cross-linking, calcium absorption, and protein synthesis. Competes with arginine for cellular uptake, suppressing arginine-dependent viral replication (HSV-1).
Who is it for?
People with recurrent cold sores (HSV-1) wanting suppressive support, plant-based eaters needing lysine to balance grain-dominant diets, and athletes recovering from injury. Useful for general collagen synthesis support.
Why use it?
Lysine at 1000mg per tablet hits the prevention dose for cold sores; double for acute outbreak management. Single-amino-acid supplementation is the cleanest way to shift the lysine-to-arginine ratio.
When to use it
Take on an empty stomach for best absorption. Prevention: 1000 to 2000mg daily. Acute outbreak: 3000mg daily split across 3 doses for up to 7 days.
How to use it
Prevention: 1 to 2 tablets daily on empty stomach. Acute outbreak: 1 tablet 3 times daily for up to 7 days.
Pairs Well With
Strategic Cross-Sell
