L arginine and lysine

Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and lysine

l-arginine

Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn From all the research I did, this is HSV I.. now I am paranoid and think everything is going to explode on my face. I am using L-Lysine, Acyclovir and Abreva to prevent an outbreak (heard they hurt like hell and are just nasty like that guy's-which I thought was the result of a bloody lip). My questions are, I don't have an outbreak that is visible, no redness, and I am on day 6 of the occasional burning and tingling.
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve read that L-carnitine works best when taken in conjuntion with L-Arginine and L-Lysine sp? They are amino acids if I remember correct and do help with male fertility. Watch zinc. While it is essential to male fertility, it is stored in the body and can be o'd and serious if is.
Avatar n tn was just diagnosed with chronic EBV and was told by doctor to find a list of suggested vitamins that would help with the effects of this disease.
Avatar n tn Is it true that a high intake of lysine and high lysine intake compared to arginine in diet really helps reduce replication of virus in body and reduce severity and length of possible outbreaks? I eat a diet high in lysine compared to arginine and i think i might be getting a possible initial outbreak which if it is it is very mild and hence my confusion,and therefore the posssible "outbreak" is not to bad b/c of my high lysine intake.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn Could this have caused the OB? I read somewhere else that taking Lysine can counter the arginine in almonds. Is it safe to take Lysine along with my Valacyclovir? Would it help anything? Or should I give up almonds? Thanks for any helpful advice.
Avatar n tn It actually is relatively ineffective at doing anything for herpes in general and we never recommend its use. the lysine/arginine theory for herpes was disproven many years ago and in fact, they are now using arginine to treat herpes even.
Avatar m tn ve read very many herpes papers dear and certainly none more recent than 20 + years old if they are still discussing arginine/lysine and herpes recurrences. the theory was disproven a long time ago as being anything significant outside of the test tube.
1716950 tn?1309081666 if you browze through internet, you will find out that there are natural remediez for thiz zymptomz, there are two kindz of amino acid that haz big influence to the viruz. one iz L-ariginine, thiz iz what the viruz likez, and the other iz L-lysine, the one that viruz hatez. you will need to have high amount of L-lysine in your diet and low of L-ariginine. thiz iz what i've been doing. and if you are not zure how much you have been taking, you can get from pharmacizt.
Avatar m tn Herpes could be from too much arginine in the body and not enough lysine to balance it out. Cut back on sources of arginine like chocolate, nuts, seeds, and beans can cut down on recurrences. Another way of doing the same job is to supplement extra lysine. Nutrients, like selenium, low-dose lithium, vitamin C, and flavonoids, can also stop the virus. I suggest all of these together with lysine in formulas called HPX and HPX2 by BioTech Pharmacal.
Avatar m tn I do and its benefits are amazing. Also check the L-lysine content in foods. The more L-lysine you consume in relation to the L-Arginine you consume, it will greatly lessen the severity of outbreaks. Eat lots of L-lysine foods, and very little L-Arginine foods.
Avatar m tn Is there any correlation between biliary dyskinesia and L-arginine? I heard L-arginine affects the sphincter of the oddi, which is the cause to my biliary dyskinesia if I'm not mistaken. Does the L-arginine help or hurt? Or is it neutral?
Avatar m tn Getting rid of cold sores without antivirals Herpes outbreaks often occur as a result of too much arginine in the body and not enough lysine to balance it out. Cutting back on dietary sources of arginine like chocolate, nuts, seeds, and beans can cut down on recurrences. Another way of doing the same job is to supplement extra lysine. Other nutrients, such as selenium, low-dose lithium, vitamin C, and flavonoids, can also inhibit the herpes virus.
Avatar f tn I have been getting outbreaks Quite regularly, I have tried MMS, Hydrogen peroxide and DMSO and oxygenated water, even silver have. Nothing worked and on top of that things were getting worse, more outbreaks. So if you try to respond and convince me to try the things (I mentioned here), please don't waste your time. It appears that all these things that I mentioned and tried, were just aggravating the virus. I have been on acyclovir for about 1 year now. So far no outbreak.

Avatar f tn I understand what you are saying about when you stop the medication but I still think that other things can keep it under control being that I have had the virus for such a long time. I never tried the Lysine I think I should give a shot have you ever tried the L lysine for genital herrpes outbreaks.
