L-Lysine, an essential amino acid, is important to the body because the body is not able to manufacture it. L-Lysine must be obtained in large amounts through the diet. Its most common uses are for the relief of colds sores and herpes viruses. L-Lysine can also help calcium absorption and formation of collagen for bone, cartilage and connective tissue. It helps strengthen circulation and supports the immune system in manufacturing antibodies. It helps regulate the body's acid/alkaline balance and plays a role in gall bladder function.
A typical therapeutic dosage of L-Lysine for herpes outbreaks is one gram - 3 times daily. You can take this as a regular part of your diet in hopes of preventing herpes flare-ups, or perhaps, at the first sign of an attack. There may also be some advantage to restricting your intake of Arginine or foods that contain Arginine, such as chocolate, peanuts, seeds, and to a lesser extent wheat.
