About
Herpes Food Guide is a website that aims to help people with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or type 2 improve their quality of life through a balanced diet.
Our website is based on the scientific evidence that a diet high in lysine and low in arginine can help prevent and reduce the severity of HSV outbreaks.
HSV-1 and HSV-2 are two types of herpes simplex virus that can cause infections in or around the mouth, lips, nose, eyes, or genitals.
They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, especially during oral or sexual contact.

Role of Lysine and Arginine in Managing HSV
We work with experts and nutritionists to create a comprehensive database of foods and their lysine-arginine ratio, as well as provide useful information on what foods to include and avoid for your specific type of HSV.
Lysine and arginine are two amino acids that are involved in the replication of HSV.
A diet high in lysine and low in arginine can inhibit the growth of the virus and reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks.
We also offer advice on supplements and lifestyle tips to help you manage your symptoms and boost your immune system.
Living with HSV Doesn't Have to Be a Burden
We believe that living with HSV doesn’t have to be a burden.
With the right diet, you can enjoy a healthy and happy life. 🍎
