Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and herpes
l-arginine
more than usual) L-Arginine in your diet can mean more frequent herpes outbreaks and of course these supplements both contain L-Arginine.
I don't want to waste the supplements but I don't want to risk having an outbreak because of them.
Does anyone know if L-arginine can lead to more frequent outbreaks (apparently it promotes the replication of the virus and thus leads to an outbreak)?
Is it HSV-1 (cold sores) or HSV-2 (genital) as well?
t really make too much of a difference for the most part. The lysine/arginine herpes diet never held up outside of the test tube.
The only study that showed any significant results at all was with the 1gm 3x/day dose. That said it still can't even begin to hold a candle to the results you get with oral antivirals. You can treat your herpes with acyclovir suppressively for about $12/month if you shop around for prices and are in the US.
found that an arginine deficiency suppressed replication of the herpes virus in tissue culture. Arginine has viral growth-promoting activity, and lysine antagonized that action. People prone to herpes sores might benefit from avoiding large amounts of dietary arginine and also by supplementing with lysine, especially during times of stress, as noted by the study authors.
All the searches I have done related to this inform me of a diet high in L-Lysine and low in L-Arginine to help treat herpes, which I do not have. I am currently undergoing cryotherapy for my breakouts because the Aldera cream irritates me too much. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible (quit smoking, drinking and eating healthier).
Supplement your diet with high quanties of L-Lysine and reduce your intake of L-Arginine. Foods high in L-Arginine include nuts, grains, beer, chocolate, peas, coffee, and so forth. Reduce sugar intake and avoid caffeine like the plague. Also, try to remain out of the sun. All of these "triggers" can make herpes worse. There are other supplements you can consider like Red Marine Algea and Olive Leaf Extract.
Well, I've searched a lot and all I've found is that L-arginine can make herpes (HSV) replicate and get worse. But I haven't found a study saying that it could be the same with HPV.
I bought a protein supplement of egg protein and I've read that it has lysine and lutein which seems to have a good effect in the clearance of HPV, but it also has L-Arginine and there are mixed opinions about it... Anyone has tried it with success?
Btw...
Hey guys,
Quick question - I just got over my first out-break about 3 weeks ago roughly and started taking valtrex one a day as suppresive therapy - after a weekend of intense birthday drinking (i know, it is my fault) and too much coconut water (L-Arginine) i noticed the small area getting itchy and red.
Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine?
, however the year is 2014, and knowledge regarding L-Arginine (a vasodilator, that increases the interior diameter of the blood vessels, increasing body capacitance) and the safety thereof has been common knowledge for the last fifty years. That being said I think it would always be a good idea to ask your doctor about everything in your life.
I take a multi vitamin as well as L-Arginine, Zinc and Saw Palmetto. I was wondering if anyone has any concrete evidence that the L-Arginine especially has any negative effects on my condition (causes/exacerbates) breakouts etc. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible. I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse.
& one thing that i understand from the report is: the sequential therapy facilitate the T-cell function to word the Hbsag clearance fast. Does this mean adding L-Arginine to our Nuc's helps more to facilitate to the Hbsag clearance? Thanks!
ve been taking 800mg of Acyclovir 2x daily for the past 3 days, using the abreva 5 x a day and taking 1500 to 2000mg of L-lysine a day.. I don't feel much tingling and think it is just my paranoya (sp?). Can the combination cause the tingling? I am getting tingling in my ear as well and my jaw.. and secondly, am I contagious or shedding as they say online in the various forms?
She had abosoloutly no visible lesion). I have ocd and have always had intense fear of contracting herpes. 2 full months prior to the 1 time interaction with the escort i was Eating lots of fast food, getting drunk nearly everyday lots of anxiety etc, my immune system was getting a beating. For the 12 days following the exposure i continued with this unhealthhy behaviour, lots of drinking, junk food , in the sun constantly, freaking out.
I have been taking L-arginine, L-citrulline, along with Alpha Lipoic acid and fish oil to prevent heart disease. My doctor told me to take aspirin. I exercise 4 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. Recently I have been having frequent nosebleeds. I cut back on the dosage of aspirin but still have nose bleeds although not as often. I don't know if the combination of supplements is the cause of the nosebleeds.
I feel like I've read a lot about lysine and arginine levels in food as possible triggers in herpes outbreaks. Is that just anecdotal or does that apply only to oral herpes?
Somewhere I founded this link, and consulted my doctors who told me that it can't hurt if you try.
