L-Lysine for cold sore management and viral support.
L-Lysine competes with arginine, the amino acid the herpes simplex virus uses for replication, reducing flare-up frequency.
L-Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids the body cannot synthesise; dietary intake or supplementation is required.
Made from vegan sources and free from animal-derived materials, suitable for plant-based protocols.
Lysine is also involved in calcium absorption and collagen cross-linking, with secondary effects beyond viral management.

Use
1 to 3 capsules daily
Adults with recurring cold sores (HSV-1) who want a nutritional approach to reducing outbreak frequency, or those using lysine prophylactically before known triggers (sun, stress, illness).
The lysine-arginine competition mechanism is well-established in HSV management. Daily lysine of 500 to 1500 mg has been used clinically for outbreak prevention for decades.
Daily for prophylactic use; higher doses (split across the day) during an active outbreak per practitioner guidance.
1 to 3 capsules daily depending on use case. Prophylactic: 1 capsule daily. Active outbreak: up to 3 capsules daily, with food.
Strategic Cross-Sell
Natroceutics Quercetin layers on a higher daily quercetin dose, which has antiviral and antihistamine effects that complement lysine's HSV mechanism. Useful during active outbreak windows.
