Description
L-lysine is an essential amino acid that plays a critical role in numerous biological functions, including supporting immunity, promoting energy production, and aiding in muscle growth. While it is naturally found in high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, beans, and legumes, individuals who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may be more susceptible to deficiency, particularly if their diet is low in legumes and high in grain-based foods.
One of the most common uses of supplemental L-lysine is for preventing cold sores caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. It works in three key ways: preventing initial infection, reducing the risk of cold sore outbreaks in those already infected, and accelerating recovery once cold sores have developed. L-lysine achieves this by inhibiting the replication of the herpes virus, which is responsible for the painful outbreaks, itching, and sores around the lips. By blocking the absorption of arginine, an amino acid the herpes virus needs to replicate, L-lysine effectively disrupts the virus’s ability to function, allowing the body to heal more rapidly and reducing the likelihood of future outbreaks.
AOR’s L-lysine provides a safe and effective dose of high-quality, pure L-lysine, offering a reliable solution for those seeking to reduce the recurrence, severity, and healing time of cold sores.
