Help for l-arginine and cold sores, please

[FocusBC]

I saw an old post regarding this dilemma. Some comments said there were alternatives to l-arginine for pre-workout supplements, but I don’t remember seeing any specific brands or formulas. I have been taking l-Citrulline (thus l-arginine) for improved circulation and experiencing cold sore break outs.
Apparently l-lysine can help, but I don’t know how much to take to avoid the cold sore breakouts.
Please reply with suggestions.

#1 - don't take arginine
#2 - look into agmatine and/or nitrates
#3 - If you still choose to take arginine (don't), match it mg/mg with l-lysine.

If you already have a cold sore, l-lysine wont help. In that instance something like Abreva and an ice cube is going to be your best bet.

I never knew this was a thing. Arginine leading to cold sores.

Pretty much means anything with Arginine or Citrulline is off limit. Thats like 95% of pumps/pre-workout supps.
