I take it every day. I also eat a low arginine diet.

I take lysine twice daily 100-1500 mg as a preventative antiviral. It

also helps me keep from getting sicker than I would, especially since I

work around a bunch of teenagers who get sick all the time, like right

now. When I feel my throat glands or any other glands swell or hurt, I

take 500-1000 mg of Valtrex (generic now in 500 mg dose) and it gets me

over the hump.
