Cold sores are painful, uid- lled blisters that commonly appear on or near the lips in clusters or patches. They are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), and are often transmitted through contact with a lesion on an infected person, for instance via kissing or sharing of utensils.
Once contracted, the virus lays dormant, waiting for the perfect environment to produce a cold sore. Common triggers for a cold sore outbreak include stress, sun burn, and low immune status. Women may also be more susceptible to them prior to their menstrual cycle.
INGREDIENT INFORMATION
Lysine helps to reduce the occurrence of cold sores
A diet high in foods containing the amino acid arginine, such as nuts and chocolate, can contribute to the outbreaks of cold sores, because arginine allows the HSV to grow. Lysine is an amino acid that slows down the growth and replication of the HSV.
Improving lysine levels can speed up recovery time and reduce the chance of recurrent cold sore outbreaks.
Research shows lysine supplementation can not only reduce the frequency, but also the duration of a cold sore outbreak.
Zinc and Vitamin C support skin health
Zinc improves wound healing. It has been demonstrated that zinc deffciency can result in delayed wound healing. It can help shorten the duration of cold sore outbreaks.
Many studies have shown that vitamin C supplementation supports wound healing. Vitamin C may also shorten the duration of a cold sore outbreak.
Echinacea purpurea
Echinacea purpurea has a long history of use as a strong anti-viral, and research has shown that it can be effective against the Herpes Simplex Virus.
Olive Leaf Extract
Studies have demonstrated that Olive Leaf Extract is effective against many viruses, including the Herpes Simplex Virus
