Why are more people not talking about lysine supplements?

[MovingAround90]

Been taking them daily for the last 3 months as I heard on here that they were good for preventing/treating cold sores.

OMG, my hair and nails are longer than they've ever been, and my skin looks fantastic! I've had comments from people wondering if I'm pregnant 😬

Why is lysine not marketed more? Is lysine the major ingredient of Perfectil and overpriced health and beauty supplements? Is there a major downside I'm missing? (Apart from having to book in a haircut earlier than I was expecting to)

It didn’t help prevent cold sores for me and gave me terrible indigestion.
There were no benefits as far as I was concerned, I wish I had saved the money.

You can buy lysine lip balm from Amazon. Two tubes for about £8

🤣🤣🤣

I don't even get cold sores.

I'm just here for the dinosaur content.

Lysine lip balm made my coldsores loads worse and my lips crack apart. A no from me.

Anyone know how long a safe course of lysine is for cold sores? I was told I might never get cold sores again if I take it as a supplement.

Currently I buy Aciclovir online as my own GP won’t prescribe it. No idea why not ffs, it’s not as if I’m not going to be paying for it.
