Natural Help For Herpes Outbreaks

Montiff Pure L-Lysine is an amino acid supplement that may help suppress the herpes virus outbreaks in most people.

Supplementation with lysine may help manage the severity, duration, and recurrence of herpes outbreaks.

Lysine balance

An essential amino acid found in muscle tissue, lysine promotes bone growth and collagen production and is responsible for calcium absorption in the intestinal tract.

Several diets, including strict vegetarian, are typically low in lysine.

Foods high in this amino acid include beef, cottage cheese, chicken, tuna, turkey, and yogurt. There are small amounts in legumes and in some vegetables, such as potatoes.

Low levels of lysine becomes a problem when it is combined with high levels of arginine. A healthy diet ratio is around 2 to 1 in favor of lysine.

Foods high in arginine include nuts, seeds, soy protein, chocolate, carob, and coconut.

People who consume large amounts of these foods and small amounts of lysine-rich foods may have a diet imbalance.

This may be important because arginine stimulates the activity of the herpes virus.

In such situations, lysine supplementation may help to correct this imbalance, as this amino acid may inhibit the growth of the herpes virus.

Continued supplementation may be necessary, as discontinuing lysine can quickly result in a new imbalance, raising the risk of a new outbreak.

Forms of Herpes Virus

Herpes may be cause by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2, and there is no cure for either strain. There is no cure for either strain.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 can produce oral and genital herpes but most frequently leads to oral herpes. Type 2 is generally the guilty party for genital herpes.

Oral herpes can result in cold sores on or around the mouth but may also impact the eyes and skin.

And genital herpes affects the genitals, buttocks and anal regions.

While there is no cure, amino acid supplementation may help your body fight off the virus and reduce the severity and length of herpes outbreaks.

Outbreaks can take place several times a year and last up to two weeks.

Other herpes conditions include Epstein-Barr virus, or chronic fatigue syndrome, which can involve extreme weakness, fatigue and muscle soreness, combined with possible fever and swollen glands.

Cytomegalovirus is comparable to chronic fatigue syndrome, and both may cause infectious.

Mononucleosis, or mono , also known as the kissing disease, is passed on through direct oral contact and is more common in teenagers and young adults. The symptoms are often flu-like, and severe fatigue is apparent for two to three weeks and sometimes longer.

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is caused by the same virus that produces chickenpox. The virus attacks the nerve roots of the brain stem of spinal cord, lies dormant until reactivated when the virus multiplies and produces severe sharp pain.
