What brand of L-Lysine does Dr. Berg recommend?Updated a month ago

L-Lysine: A Powerful Amino Acid for Viral Support and Hair Health


While Dr. Berg doesn't have a specific brand recommendation for L-Lysine, this essential amino acid is highly beneficial, especially for those managing herpes (Types 1 or 2) and shingles, and for hair health.

L-Lysine for Viral Management:

Herpes and shingles viruses often flare up after significant stress. These viruses rely on another amino acid, arginine, to reproduce. L-lysine works by blocking arginine, thereby stopping viral replication and potentially helping put them into remission.

  • During an outbreak: For intense conditions, a dosage of 3,000 mg of L-lysine may be recommended.

  • For prevention: A much smaller, preventative amount can be taken regularly.

  • Dietary considerations: To further support your body, focus on consuming foods high in L-lysine while limiting foods high in arginine.

L-Lysine for Hair Growth and Strength:

Hair is primarily made of protein, which is composed of amino acids. L-lysine is a specific amino acid that can significantly impact hair growth, making it stronger and more elastic.

Tips When Purchasing L-Lysine:

When you're looking to buy an L-lysine supplement, here are a few tips to consider:

  1. Form: Look for L-lysine in its free-form, which is easily absorbed by the body.

  2. Purity: Choose products with minimal fillers and artificial ingredients. Reputable brands will often list their "other ingredients" clearly.

  3. Dosage: Check the per-serving dosage to ensure it aligns with your needs (e.g., if you're aiming for 1000-3000mg, see how many capsules or tablets that requires).

  4. Certifications: While not always necessary, third-party certifications can indicate quality and purity.

  5. Reviews: Look at customer reviews from various sources to gauge product effectiveness and satisfaction.

  6. "L-" prefix: Ensure it's specifically "L-Lysine" as this is the biologically active form the body uses.
