It is used by the body in a number of ways and, particularly in the formation of collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. Practitioners frequently recommend this particular amino acid during an attack of cold sores as it has been shown to inhibit the replication of the Herpes Simplex (Type I) virus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe require 2-3g a day of lysine and it is most abundant in animal based foodstuffs such as meat.
