Herpes and Shingles
L-lysine can be used to treat mouth and genital lesions caused by herpes simplex virus as well as shingles caused by herpes zoster viruses. Taking lysine supplements can speed recovery time and reduce the chance of recurrent breakouts of the herpes infection.
Osteoporosis
L-lysine helps improve the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevent loss of calcium in the urine. In so doing, some researchers speculate that L-lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. In addition, test tube studies suggest that L-lysine in combination with L-arginine (another amino acid) increases the activity of bone-building cells and enhances production of collagen.
Other
Certain forms of lysine and/or lysine bound to anti-inflammatory medications may help alleviate pain following an episiotomy (a procedure performed during labor that involves cutting the vaginal area to enlarge the vaginal opening and facilitate delivery). These forms of lysine may also relieve migraine headaches and painful periods. Whether L-lysine and other readily available lysine supplements also offer these benefits is not known.

A D & E also C but it is difficult to find a skin/facial cream that has all of them in it. C is used in making collagen which helps keep the elasticity in the skin. Some creams with C in it are a bit strong so I would recommend mixing it with another to make it milder. It is best to take your vitamins from the inside out and eat a good diet with plenty of water.
L lysine is good for controlling sores especially cold sores and herpes cold sores outbreaks or herpes outbreaks. L lysine is found in many foods naturally but can be purchased over the counter in the Pharmaceutical sections of most drug stores and discount stores like Walmart, Kmart, etc.

Lysine alone is good for herpes infections. 500 mg 3-4 times daily on an empty stomach may inhibit viral growth
