Information:
Lysine is an essential amino acid – one of the eight essential amino acids vital for human health. Our bodies cannot create lysine so it is crucial we get it from our diet.
How does lysine help with cold sores? Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus is found in around 90% of all adults, with around one third actually suffering from cold sores. The virus lives in your body and can remain dormant until something triggers an outbreak.
The herpes simplex virus requires large amounts of another amino acid called arginine to replicate. Lysine competes with arginine absorption which reduces the amount of arginine available for the virus to use to replicate itself. When the ratio of lysine is high compared to arginine, replication of the herpes simplex virus may be inhibited.
