I read a very good paper last year about the effects of arginine and lysine on viral activity. Again, I don't have a link to the paper handy, but I included a link to some abstracts and some other publications below. Arginine seems to increase the rate at which virus particles can infect cells, making it harder to clear an infection. Lysine does the opposite, it seems to decrease the infection rate, thus making it easier for your immune system + any medications to clear an infection. I personally take a low dose of 500 mg of L-lysine daily. One paper I read claimed that doses of up to 3,000-4,000 mg daily of L-lysine is safe, and the upper safe limit could be even higher. I'm not a doctor, but I know that I personally have never had any adverse effects at 500 mg daily.
Both Arginine and Lysine are found in moderate to high levels in many foods, and so you may want to limit your intake of foods with arginine, and increase your intake of foods with lysine. Most of the foods I commonly eat are high in lysine (meats and cheeses to name a couple), and I generally don't eat many foods that contain a lot of arginine, so I didn't have to change anything about my diet. I have chosen to supplement L-lysine and do nothing to raise or lower my L-arginine levels, and so far that seems to be working for me. But remember, I'm not a doctor, this is just from my personal experience.
There are some studies that suggest that arginine can actually be helpful against SARS-CoV-2 by improving endothelial function, so the evidence is conflicting. You'll have to do your own research and decide for yourself. I included links to some abstracts and some other links I have handy that you might be interested in. Many of these links have been posted on GAW before, so you can find a lot of good information by searching here.
