What's interesting is that arginine can trigger a cold sore blister in those already infected with the herpes virus. Does that mean some cancers are caused by certain viruses?
"Arginine is essential for the replication of herpes simplex virus. Omission of arginine from the culture medium did not affect the synthesis of viral DNA but prevented the formation of virions. Addition of arginine immediately stimulated protein synthesis which was followed by virus formation."
"Studies show that arginine, an amino acid found in many foods, may contribute to the spread of herpes. This is due to its ability to promote viral growth, which speeds up the body's natural ability to reproduce certain viruses, including HSV-1 and HSV-2"
I get cold sores and take L-Arginine daily because I like to get a pump and the gym. Pump my muscles with fresh nutrients after I eat a ribeye steak. I don't get cold sores consistently maybe once every 6 months or longer sometimes. I do seem to get cold sores when the seasons change like when it started getting hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I think this is BS.

I take it daily, between 5-10 grams. My wife likes the "pump" it gives me... 🙂 just sayin
