Instructions

• 1

  Lysine: Lysine is an amino acid used to keep herpes under control. It helps to fight off the virus, but it should only be taken during outbreaks. If you take it frequently when you're not suffering from an outbreak, you can develop a tolerance.

• 2

  Vitamins: Some of the vitamins necessary to help prevent an outbreak include Vitamin A, B-Complex Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium and Selenium. Try adding the vitamins you don't get regularly in supplemental form, or try to upgrade to a multi vitamin that contains all of the necessary vitamins.
