What is Lysine?
Lysine is one of the 21 amino acids that the body uses as a building block to create a wide range of the proteins it needs. It is described as an “essential amino acid”, which means that, unlike many other amino acids, the human body cannot synthesise it. The body must therefore rely on dietary sources to obtain the Lysine it needs.

How does Lysine assist customers who experience cold sores?
Research1 suggests that Lysine helps reduce the occurrence of facial cold sores because it has been shown to discourage the cold sore virus from replicating2. This then supports the body’s natural defences to better fight the virus.
