L-Lysine Comments By: V. Proven healing booster. Also works for "below the belt" cold sores (aka: herpes).   I took lysine for a month and have had no sores since Comments By: anon I used to get cold sores monthly. I took l-lysine for 4-6 weeks about 18 months ago and have not had one cold sore since then. My son was also prone to cold sores, did the same and has had no recurrence yet. (I bought 2 jars of lysine tablets and one is still unopened as we haven't needed it!)   I agree Comments By: May-c I have used L-Lysine everytime I felt one coming.   No help at all... Comments By: H I have suffered with coldsores all my life & have tried many a treatment. I was recommended Lysine at my local health shop. I started taking it every day in hope that it would help, when in fact it made it worse. I suffered from one coldsore after another after another.As soon as one cleared another appeared.As soon as I stopped take the Lysine & my latest coldsore cleared, they stopped.   Lysine Comments By: anon Fantastic!!I use it everytime I feel a cold sore coming on.My son use to lick or touch his cold sores,they use to spread onto his face, until my friend told me about Lysine-within a week all the cold sores were all gone   Lysine is the Sh*t Comments By: Scott I have been granted the gift of the fever blister since I was a little lad. A doctor told me about "Lysine" and that I should take it as a pill twice a day. It works, but now I just drink 100% whey protein from GNC. It has 1770mg of lysine per serving, and a lot of other good things for your body. I stoped drinking it for about a month due to no money.. and guess what I now have a fever blister.. great
