With frequent relapses of the herpes virus, you need to consider how to improve your body's immune defenses. Whether it is possible to achieve this only by consuming foods selected according to their useful substances against the herpes virus depends on how weakened the immunity is. The selection of appropriate foods is just one of a set of preventive measures to strengthen the body against herpes infection.

Vitamin C


This water-soluble vitamin is needed for the production of collagen, a key building block of skin cells. Vitamin C has strong antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. Supports immunity against infections, including highly effective against shingles (labial herpes) and genital herpes . The vitamin is absorbed 50% better when taken in combination with bioflavonoids.

Why vitamin C is useful specifically for herpes


Vitamin C deficiency leads to a predisposition to infections. When it enters the body in sufficient quantities, the body is more likely to fight the harmful microorganisms that it constantly encounters, including the herpes virus.
With vitamin C deficiency, there is a slower healing of wounds on the skin surface. So taking it during the onset of herpes can help the lesions to heal quickly and the skin to recover. Lysine is also involved in this process, so the combination of the two substances should have a positive effect on the body's resistance.
There is evidence that if you take vitamin C regularly in combination with bioflavonoids, the recurrence of herpes is reduced by 50%.
Vitamin C contributes to less formation of lesions and scars on the skin. This property is improved in combination with lysine and bioflavonoids.
