Jarrow Formulas L-Lysine 500 is an essential amino acid necessary for growth, development, tissue maintenance and repair.
It has been suggested that lysine may be beneficial for those with herpes simplex infections or cold sores in combination with a diet low in arginine.
The ratio of lysine to arginine in a person’s body is particularly important when it comes to shingles.
The spreading of shingles requires the virus to multiply, and the amino acid arginine that helps the herpes virus replicate. Lysine interferes with arginine and helps prevent herpes from spreading.
Lysine and arginine are essential amino acids that are needed to help the body build proteins. Unlike arginine, the body cannot produce lysine on its own and can only be obtained from certain foods or with supplementation. During a shingles outbreak, it’s advisable to avoid foods that are high in arginine like nuts and seeds, tofu, and chocolate, among other foods.
