L-LYSINE COLD SORES Researchers have found that the ratio of the amino acids arginine and lysine plays an important part in controlling (not curing!) cold sores. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for growth, development, tissue maintenance and repair.

L-Lysine is an essential free-form amino acid which acts as a precursor for several other amino acids, including L-carnitine (needed for fat metabolism). L-Lysine is crucial to the formation of collagen, a major part of the body's connective tissues. L-Lysine also contributes to energy production when converted to acetyl coenzyme A, one of the principal fuels for the Krebs Cycle.
