Is Lysine Helpful with All Herpes Viruses?
Lysine is an essential amino acid involved in growth, conversion of fats into energy, cholesterol metabolism and the absorption of calcium. The term “essential” refers to the fact that people must obtain lysine from foods such as meat, milk and legumes, because the body cannot synthesize lysine from other nutrients, as it does for 10 other nonessential amino acids. Lysine is also used as a treatment for herpes simplex infections. It has not been studied for any other herpes viruses.
