Q: I tend to get cold sores a few times during the winter months. Is there anything more natural that I can take?
A: Make sure you stay well-hydrated and get adequate rest throughout the winter season. If you feel that first tingling sensation that leads to a cold sore, start taking “Super Lysine+ Advanced Lysine Supplement”, a l-lysine containing supplement that can prevent cold sores from emerging when taken acutely. This supplement can be taken daily throughout the winter months for added immune support. Topically, you can pair this with “Super Lysine + Ointment” for cold sores. This lip balm can soothe chapped lips, but also contains l-lysine for added virus-fighting.
