How much pills of L-Lysine should i take for genital herpes out break to go away ?

D.D,
A group of researchers published an article over 20 years ago that suggested there may be a role for lysine supplements in the treatment of a number of herpes infections, including genital herpes. Although the study participants suggested that the lysine supplements did reduce their symptoms, other studies have not come to the same conclusion. The last study that I am aware of was published in 1985, and in this study, lysine did not reduce the number of recurrences of visible genital herpes episodes and did not lessen the symptoms when outbreaks occurred. This is a brief copy of the report:-

Lysine as a prophylactic agent in the treatment of recurrent herpes simplex labialis.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1984.
This study examined the efficacy of long-term prophylactic lysine supplementation. Twenty-six volunteers with a history of frequently recurring herpetic lesions completed a 12-month double-blind crossovers study. The experimental group received daily oral supplements of 1,000 mg 1-lysine. Serum samples were analyzed at scheduled intervals. In most instances, members of the lysine group reported significantly fewer lesions than the control group. Similarly, those who were taken off lysine supplementation generally showed a significant increase in lesion frequency. Quantitative hematologic measurements revealed the most clinically useful relationship. Data from this sample population indicated that when a person's serum lysine concentration exceeded 165 nmol/ml there was a corresponding significant decrease in recurrence rate. Conversely, the frequency rate increased significantly as concentration levels fell below 165 nmol/ml. These results suggest that prophylactic lysine may be useful in managing selected cases of recurrent herpes simplex labialis if serum lysine levels can be maintained at adequate concentrations.

Whilst the report mentions 1.000mg a day, you would be advised to seek advice on the dose either from your doctor, pharmacist or the manufacturer.
