subject: Reduce Herpes Outbreaks - 3 Tips to Help You Control Herpes and Stop Outbreaks [print this page] For sufferers of genital herpes, the feeling of an oncoming herpes outbreak can really ruin your day. You just know that the next week or so is going to be a living nightmare of dealing with sores, pain, itching, swelling and sometimes even nasty flu like symptoms. But did you know, you can reduce herpes outbreaks significantly with the help of some natural, widely available and surprisingly effective supplements?
Try taking regular doses of these three herpes combating remedies and you'll find that your outbreaks will occur less frequently, and not only that, when they do occur they'll be less severe and heal up much faster. With long term regular treatment, you will be able to reduce and possibly prevent genital herpes outbreaks.
Zinc - A powerful booster of the immune system, a daily dose of a zinc supplement can really reduce herpes outbreaks dramatically. The recommended dose is around 30 milligrams a day, and while it is generally assumed to be safe to take more (up to 60mg) you should consult with your doctor first.
Vitamin C - Vitamin C is the fuel your infection-fighting white blood cells need to be in top shape to take down an outbreak before it appears. Many sufferers are having great success reducing herpes outbreaks with a 'megadose' of vitamin C each day, around 1000 milligrams divided throughout the day. Even a small amount of extra vitamin C in your body can help, so at least take a daily supplement, but again, consult your doctor if you want to try larger doses.
Lysine - An amino acid that has been proven to inhibit the reproduction of the herpes virus. You can get Lysine in a pill or powder supplement form (usually known as L-Lysine, and found at most health food shops), or you can modify your diet to include foods rich in Lysine, such as fish, chicken, beans, brewer's yeast, and milk.
