DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: Symptoms and signs of lysine deficiency include: anemia, apathy, bloodshot eyes, depression, edema, fatigue, fever blisters, hair loss, inability to concentrate, infertility, irritability, lethargy, liver damage, loss of energy, muscle loss, retarded growth, stomach ulcers, and weakness.
The typical recommended intake of L-lysine is 1 gram per day, but a therapeutic dosage is usually 3 grams daily taken in three separate doses. To reduce herpes symptoms, you could take up to 9 grams per day of L-lysine. Any dosage above these recommendations could cause overdose-like side effects.
