Collection: HSV
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) supplements are designed to support the immune system in managing and reducing the frequency and severity of outbreaks caused by the herpes simplex virus, which can lead to cold sores or genital herpes. These supplements typically contain antiviral herbs, vitamins, and minerals that work together to inhibit viral replication, boost immune response, and promote faster healing of sores.
Key ingredients often include L-lysine, an amino acid known to counteract the effects of arginine (an amino acid that can trigger outbreaks), as well as immune-supportive vitamins like vitamin C and zinc. Some formulas may also incorporate herbs such as echinacea, olive leaf extract, and astragalus, which have natural antiviral and immune-boosting properties. The goal of HSV supplements is to strengthen the body's defenses against the virus, reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms during outbreaks, and support overall skin and nerve health.
