WHAT IS LYSINE?

Lysine is an essential amino acid for the maintenance of good health. Lysine helps to reduce the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection (e.g. cold sores), and helps in collagen formation.

HOW DOES LYSINE WORK?

Lysine has many functions in the body because it is incorporated into many proteins, which are used by the body for a variety of purposes. The human body cannot produce L-Lysine and this important amino acid must be obtained from dietary intake.

HOW MUCH LYSINE SHOULD I TAKE FOR HSV INFECTIONS?

Reduce the recurrence of HSV infection:
1000 mg, 1 - 3 times daily

• How are essential and non-essential amino acids different?
  The body is able to make non-essential amino acids from other amino acids in the body. However, the body is not able to make essential amino acids and the only way to get them is by eating high quality protein foods. Protein sources that contain all of the essential amino acids are called complete proteins. Whey protein is a naturally complete protein.
