“Fever on the lips” is a common problem that worries many people from time to time. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus type I. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no way to get rid of this infection once and for all. In the body of most people, the herpes virus is in a latent state – it lies dormant in the nerve plexuses. During a relapse, the virus descends along the nerves to the skin, where a characteristic rash forms.

For the treatment of relapses, drugs containing acyclovir are usually used. Acyclovir stops the process of virus reproduction, preventing its spread.

However, regular use of acyclovir can be a very heavy burden on the body, especially the liver. Of course, researchers sought to find a safer and milder remedy. As it turned out, it was already invented by nature itself.

L-Lysine is one of the eight essential amino acids that are the basis for protein synthesis. The body does not produce these amino acids itself, we get them with food. Natural sources of L-Lysine are dairy products, fish, cheese, meat, egg white.

At the time of relapse, the herpes virus begins to multiply actively. The amino acid arginine serves as a building material for the “assembly” of new viruses. The therapeutic effect of L-Lysine is explained by the fact that its chemical structure is very similar to arginine. When additional L-Lysine is introduced into the diet, it accumulates in excess quantities in the cell. The herpes virus “makes a mistake” and begins to build new viruses using L-Lysine, as a result of which the new viruses turn out to be non-viable. Thanks to such a “substitution”, it is possible to stop the reproduction of the virus.

Studies of the role of L-Lysine in the suppression of herpes relapses have been conducted all over the world. Their results showed that regular intake of the amino acid leads to a 2.4-fold reduction in herpes recurrences. In addition, it turned out that taking L-Lysine as a biologically active supplement gives better results than a special diet consisting of foods rich in the amino acid.

The fact is that many foods are depleted in lysine as a result of processing (for example, when sterilizing milk, 10-11% of the amino acid is lost) or long-term storage in warehouses and stores.

L-Lysine + β-carotene is a herbal preparation that not only helps fight the herpes virus, but also takes care of the health of the musculoskeletal system, the beauty of your skin and hair. To increase the effectiveness of this herbal preparation, it is worth excluding foods with a high arginine content from the diet. In this case, it will be easier to make a “substitution”. Such products include cereals, nuts, dried fruits, chocolate. And try to be less nervous – with severe stress, the reserves of lysine in the cells are quickly depleted, which leads to relapses. Another provoking factor is hypothermia.

To eliminate the external manifestations of herpes on the lips and the discomfort they cause, you can also use external means.

Anti-herpes drugs should have a comprehensive effect:

• eliminates redness and itching, heals wounds;
• prevents the formation of new elements of the rash;
• eliminates pain in the acute phase of herpes.

Recurrent (chronic) herpes is a signal that the immune system is weakened and cannot cope with the loads. Herpes on the lips can be a frequent companion of colds. To strengthen the body’s natural defenses, we recommend Antyvir – a natural “antibiotic” – a natural remedy for the prevention of colds.
