    5 – 7 grams?

    A bit much. I take a preventive regiment of 1,000mg per day during the time I’m likely to get a coldsore (late winter/early spring).

    When my coldsore came, it was about the size of a pin head. I upped my regiment to 1,500mg and the sore was gone in 3 days.

    L-Lysine works amazingly for my coldsores. I only take one 500 mg capsule every or everyother day, and get no outbreaks. 5-7 grams seems insane to me.
