A member asked:
How many mg of lysine should i take per day for hsv-2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably none: Most studies have shown Lysine is not effective for herpes management although it remains popular in alternative medicine circles. Prescription Acyclovir or Valrex is going to be more helpful for you.
