Lysine Canker Sores

Posted on February 6, 2010.
Lysine Canker SoresIs Lysine supplements work for canker sores?

I use vitamin supplements lysine for cold sores, but it also works for canker sores? I often get canker sores and I would like some recommendations on what contributes to accelerate the healing faster.

Canker sores are not contagious and can appear as a single pale or yellow ulcer with an outer red ring, or as a group of such lesions. The cause of canker sores is not entirely clear, but may be linked to:

Virus
A temporary weakness in your immune system (eg, colds or flu)
Hormonal changes
Mechanical irritation
Stress
Low levels of vitamin B12 or folic acid

They suggest this treatment:

For mouth ulcers:

Rinse with salt water.
Apply a paste of baking soda and water.
Mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 1 part water and apply this mixture to the lesions using a cotton swab

I agree with you on the use of lysine for cold sores, but you can try this for canker sores. Also, try to add some B12 and folic acid supplement to your list for a while and see if that helps.

Here is some additional information on the canker sore help:

When ulcers burst, turn to one or more of the following supplements. First try the lysine - an amino acid deficiency has been associated with canker sores. Echinacea boosts the immune system, and lower doses of the herb (200 mg each morning, three weeks per month) can also prevent the formation of cankers. Another reminder immune Vitamin C promotes healing of mucous membranes of the mouth; Flavonoids are natural compounds that improve the effectiveness of this vitamin. Licorice (DGL) layer of wafers and protect wounds against irritants and help them heal. Goldenseal liquid form applied directly to the wound also promotes healing. Instead of LSD or goldenseal, you can try zinc lozenges to speed healing and increase your resistance. People who receive frequent canker sores may be deficient in B vitamins, a daily vitamin B complex is useful as a preventive measure.

Hope this info helps!
