Lysine
Lysine- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why Cold Sores1 to 3 grams daily 
[3 stars] Supplementing with lysine may reduce recurrences by suppressing the virus that causes sores.Genital Herpes1,000 mg daily 
[2 stars] Taking lysine may speed healing and help prevent future outbreaks.Shingles and Postherpetic NeuralgiaRefer to label instructions 
[1 star] Because shingles is caused by a herpes virus, some doctors believe that lysine could help, since it inhibits replication of herpes simplex, a related virus.Lysine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body. (Essential amino acids cannot be made in the body and must be supplied by the diet or supplements.)

I give l-lysine to my cat to fight the herpes virus in her eye, her eye is no longer goopy, gritty or cloudy. I take it myself to fight the shingles (I had chicken pox 50years ago) virus. The vaccination is not an option for me. I would recommend this.

This is the amino acid missing in our digestive system for those of us that suffer from rosacea. I take the 1000mg once per day in the morning before breakfast. If I have a breakout then another in the evening helps. I no longer take an antibiotic ...doxycycline.

Comments about GNC L-Lysine 1000:
I've had shingles and problems with cold sores; 2 different forms of herpes. When I had shingles, I took three or four of these per day. For prevention, I take one in the AM and one in the PM. When I feel a cold sore coming on, I take an extra one at lunchtime. Overall, I rarely have cold sores anymore, and when I do get one, it is smaller and clears up faster.
