L lysine

Hi all, one thing I forgot to mention. I have taken up to 12000 mg in a 24 hour period without ill effects. If I felt unbalanced after eating something I
Just take two 1000mg tabs after eating something that makes feel unbalanced and it works like a charm to prevent outbreaks. Been doing this for about 10 years. Also it matters who makes it, so stay with a brand that seems to be the most effective for you.

L lysine is also inexpensive and a great thing to have on you or with you at all times.

Kind regards and best wishes!
