⚠️⚠️ L-arginine can cause a herpes simplex outbreak

That's the vascodialator I've been on. I was wondering why some places were getting sore. :/
Anyway I need to change over to a different one asap

@smollestbunny

I'm taking L-arginine, with L-lysine to help prevent the potential herpes outbreaks

Also I'm taking Vitamin C with the L-arginine (so I get both the NO if I need it, plus antioxidants to deal with possible oxidative stress from my body using so much NO) and it's working much better for me in combination. YMMV.

@UntoNuggan I have L lysine in my cart. Just waiting to see if any nice person can help or boost till I can get help.

Will it do the trick tho with L-arginine? I've been sore down there and on my face for over a week now and I wasn't sure wtf until I looked it up

@smollestbunny

I think it varies probably? My cats are taking it to prevent feline herpes flares

basically my vet was like "there's a bunch of people who swear by this, and a bunch of people who say it doesn't work"

so far it's working for me, and the cats have had less issues I *think*? time will tell

@UntoNuggan hmm
I see. I guess I can give it a couple of weeks to see if it helps or doesn't do anything
