Helps fight against the herpes virus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, lysine may also be useful for people who are regularly plagued by <b><strong>cold sores on the lips <\/strong><\/b>caused by the <em>herpes simplex<\/em> virus (HSV). This amino acid is similar in structure to <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/arginine\"><b><strong>arginine<\/strong><\/b><\/a>, an amino acid that HSV needs to<b><strong> multiply.<\/strong><\/b> However, because of the similar structure, it can <b><strong>mistakenly reach for lysine, especially<\/strong> <\/b>when there is more of it than arginine. In this case, it does not reproduce further, and so this amino acid may help <b><strong>prevent<\/strong><\/b> <b><strong>herpes<\/strong><\/b> and speed up the healing process as well. Admittedly, this is not a way to get rid of herpes overnight, but it can still shorten the time you&#8217;ll be bothered with a cold sore. <sup><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\" style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\">[4]<\/mark><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, lysine supplementation may make the occurrence of cold sores <b><strong>less frequent or <\/strong><\/b>may result in a <b><strong>lighter presentation.<\/strong><\/b><sup><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\" style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\">[3,8]<\/mark><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"calcium-absorption\">7.
