"Only Herpaflör contains all of these 17 proven herpes-killing compounds. Nothing else comes close. Read the research below!"
Not only have we
carefully selected the most extensively researched and effective
ingredients for Herpaflör® – we’ve also given great attention to
the quality, potency, amount and formulation
of the ingredients, each critical to its effectiveness!
HERPAFLOR® WORKS BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN BUY OR YOU DON'T PAY! It's the #1 choice of knowledgeable people with herpes!
Be aware that many providers of nutroceuticals merely put small amounts or low-potency ingredients in their supplements, with the understanding that you cannot yourself research how they’re made. This makes their compounds cheaper and easier to produce – but it’s NOT our approach!

supplementation on herpes infection,1543 subjects were surveyed by
questionnaire after a six-month trial period. The study included
subjects with cold sores, cankersores, and genital herpes. Of
these, 54% had been diagnosedand treated by a physician. The
results showed that the average dosage used was 936 mg of lysine
daily. Eighty-four percent of those surveyed said that lysine
supplementation prevented recurrence or decreased the frequency of
herpes infection. Whereas79% described their symptoms as severe or
intolerable without lysine, only 8% used these terms when taking
lysine. Without lysine, 90% indicated that healing took six to 15
days, but with lysine 83% stated that lesions healed in five days
or less.Overall, 88% considered supplemental lysine an effective
form of Formula for herpes infection. “ PMID: 6423612

contained in Herpaflör® Caps): “The
amino acid
lysine
often controls herpes. . . results of a six-month trial
involving more than 50 people indicate that lysine is far more
effective than a placebo in preventing cold sores. Participants
given a placebo had more than twice as many such infections as
those taking lysine. Moreover, the herpes sores that did develop
in the lysine group tended to be milder, and to heal faster, than
the outbreaks in the placebo group. Lysine supplements may even
prevent HSV outbreaks in chronic sufferers.”

to develop a cold sore (oral herpes).4
Formula with melissa cream produced significant benefits on day 2,
reducing intensity of discomfort, number of blisters, and the size
of the lesion. (The researchers specifically looked at day 2
because, according to them, that is when symptoms are most
pronounced.) Another double-blind study followed 116 individuals
with oral or genital herpes.3
Participants used either melissa cream or placebo cream for up to
10 days. The results showed that use of the herb resulted in a
significantly better rate of recovery than those given placebo.

Chaparral (Larrea tridentata)
Chaparral has received

INTERNAL CONSUMPTION. There have been very few indications

dermatitis (rash). It should also be noted that Chaparral has been
used for hundreds of years by many societies, including Native
Americans, as a healing aid. Therefore we include chaparral in our
Topical product, but NOT in our Caps (for internal consumption).
