A member asked:
Can l-citrulline cause hsv breakouts since the body converts it into argenine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cause of HSV recurrences is basically unknown. Often associated with exposure to sunlight, emotional upset, other sites of infection (hence the term “fever blister”), direct (lip or genital) contact with someone with an active lesion, burns or eczema. L-citrulline and Arginine are NOT known causes of HSV recurrence.
