Lysine has been the best thing I have taken for dealing with cold sores. It also led me to find out about vitamin c in large doses while researching how much lysine I could safely take. Through trial and error I have found 2 grams per day keeps them away under normal life circumstances. It seems when I started taking C as well as other vitamins my dose of lysine needed went down from 4 grams per day to only 2 in order to not get the cold sores.
