Reply To: Do lysine or any supplements actually help?

The evidence for supplements here is weak and inconsistent. Some small studies suggest something, others show nothing, and none of it is close to the evidence behind antiviral treatment.

That does not mean anyone taking lysine is foolish. It means do not swap something that works for something that might.
