Contrary to what you might’ve heard on the media and online, lysine for cold sores is not effective. The majority of the stuff you hear and read by simply marketing schemes from all these drug companies producing this so-called solution for cold sores. These companies just have really good marketing campaigns that most people are susceptible to. Studies have shown that lysine is not that effective for getting rid of these cold sores. Your body already has enough of this substance from real food that you consume, such as eggs, chicken, fish, and beef. That’s why there’s really no need for these lysine drugs. If you really want to get rid of those annoying cold sores, you’re much better off talking to your doctor about the proper solutions. Some home remedies are also known to be effective, such as the consumption of licorice. After only a few days of eating licorice, your cold sores will begin to disappear.
