Cold sores
See them less often
For people prone to cold sores. Taken daily, L-lysine helps reduce how often they come back.
Put Your Best Lips Forward.
L-lysine to help reduce cold sore recurrence and support skin, muscle and bone.
Regenerative support
Essential, in Every Sense.
Cold sores have a gift for timing: the wedding photos, the first day at a new job, the holiday you booked months ago.
L-lysine is an essential amino acid, which means your body cannot make it. PURICA L-Lysine helps reduce the recurrence of cold sores and helps in collagen formation. Choose vegan capsules, or an unflavoured powder with 1,500 mg in each half teaspoon.
Who it’s for
More Than Skin Deep.
02
Skin & collagen
Care from within
For anyone looking after their skin. Lysine helps your body produce collagen, a protein important for skin, tendons and connective tissue, and supports normal tissue repair.
03
Muscle & recovery
Recover and rebuild
For active people. Lysine helps build and repair body proteins, and contributes to normal muscle maintenance.
04
Bone health
Hold on to calcium
For anyone minding their bones. Lysine may help your body absorb and retain calcium, and plays a role in normal bone health.
L-Lysine
If you’re prone to cold sores, taking L-lysine regularly can help reduce how often they come back. Lysine is an essential amino acid your body gets from food. It also helps your body make collagen, a protein found in skin, tendons and other connective tissue.

How it works
Tipping the Balance.
Lysine works by keeping a rival amino acid in check, and by giving collagen its strength.
01
Cold sores
Keeps arginine in check
The virus behind cold sores needs the amino acid arginine to multiply. Lysine competes with arginine in the body, tipping the balance away from the virus.
02
Collagen
The strength in collagen
Lysine is built into collagen, where it forms the cross-links that hold its fibres together.
03
Immune response
Part of a strong defence
Lysine is a building block of protein, and it helps keep your immune response strong.
Published research
Six Months, Measured.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, people with frequently recurring herpes simplex infections took L-lysine or a placebo for half a year. Those taking lysine came out ahead on all three measures tracked: how often outbreaks happened, how severe they were and how quickly they healed.
