A member asked:
Is a daily l-lysine supplement with the use of valtrex often used for patients suffering from hsv2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lysine for herpes: See my previous reply about lysine/arginie diet. Lysine provides no additional benefit beyond either on its own or in addition to anti-HSV drugs like valacyclovir (Valtrex®).
