It helps with herpes simplex virus, but only if you take at least 1.2 grams a day, a study found — see here.

I've not seen any studies to suggest lysine helps with any other viruses.

Hi @purplelady I take lysine as part of an immune-boosting supplement regime. I have gotten sores in my mouth off and on, and taking the lysine and other supplements, keeps those away.

I have experimented with lycine together with asparagus herb. In some other FB group someone got good results from them combined. Personally I still can't say much as I have so many things going on, like running the GcMAF frequencies on Rife machine to stimulate it's production etc.
