Coming Soon! (Price TBA) LYSINEprotect is a synergistic combination of natural herbs, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids designed to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of cold sores by targeting the underlying virus itself and bolstering the overtaxed immune system.
Product Notes:
If you're subject to recurring bouts of cold sores (aka fever blisters) on or near the lips, you're likely well aware they're caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV, which comes in two types), which can remain in your system for life, flare up at certain times, and take at least a week or two to resolve.
Several factors can trigger them: some avoidable (exposing your face to too much UV light, cold, or wind; or ingesting too much Arginine); some not (hormonal changes from menstruation or pregnancy; accidental injuries around the mouth; stressful events); and some only partially so (being so run-down or fatigued that you become ill, particularly with a fever). The common triggering element is some sort of challenge to your immune system, such that it can no longer keep the HSV dormant.
Consequently, to help reduce both the duration and frequency of those outbreaks, Natra Labs takes a three-pronged approach with this blend of eight natural ingredients:
- attacking the proliferation of the virus itself, with anti-viral agents (OLE and Vitamin C) and Lysine;
- shoring up the immune system, with Andrographis, Vitamin B6, Selenium, and Zinc; and,
- helping regenerate healthy mouth tissue to replace the blisters, with Prunella (also known as the Self-heal herb).
