What is lysine?

Our bodies cannot make lysine so you must get it through your diet. Lysine has many important benefits for the body including:

  • Supporting collagen formation.
  • Helps reduce occurrence of facial cold sores.
  • Relieves symptoms of facial cold sores.

Within your diet, lysine can be found in protein-rich foods such as red meat, pork and poultry. It’s also found in some cheeses, specifically parmesan, as well as certain fish like cod and sardines.

Lysine and cold sores

Several studies have found that supplementation with lysine helps reduce the occurrence and relieves symptoms of facial cold sores.
