{"product_id":"quantum-health-super-lysine-plus-liquid-extract-60ml","title":"Quantum Health Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract, L-Lysine with Shiitake, Echinacea, Goldenseal, Licorice and Propolis, 60ml","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuantum Health Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract contains powerful herbal extracts of shiitake mushroom, echinacea, goldenseal, licorice and propolis, built around L-lysine and vitamin C. It is an excellent companion product for the Super Lysine+ cold sore ointment — the ointment works on the outside, this works from the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people use this strictly for immune support, especially because it contains shiitake mushroom extract. Shiitake carries lentinan and other beta-glucans, which is why a mushroom sits in what is otherwise a herbal immune blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-lysine is the reason the Quantum line exists. It is an essential amino acid, and it works in opposition to arginine — which matters because the herpes simplex virus behind cold sores depends on arginine to replicate. Raising lysine relative to arginine is the mechanism the whole Super Lysine+ range is built on, and taking it internally alongside a topical is the complete approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround it: echinacea, the best known immune herb in North America; goldenseal, with its astringent berberine content; licorice root; propolis, the resin bees use to sterilise the hive; and gum benzoin. A liquid extract in a 40% alcohol base, which is what pulls the full range of compounds from that mix of roots, resins and mushroom. Quantum Health has been making targeted natural remedies in the United States for over thirty years, best known for the Super Lysine+ cold sore line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Quantum Health Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suits anyone prone to cold sores who wants to work from the inside as well as topically, and anyone who simply wants a broad herbal immune tincture with a mushroom component. It is also the natural companion purchase alongside the Super Lysine+ ointment or ColdStick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is 40% alcohol, which rules it out for anyone avoiding alcohol and makes it unsuitable for children. It contains **bee propolis**, so not for a bee allergy. Echinacea and goldenseal are immune stimulants, so anyone with an autoimmune condition or on immunosuppressants should speak to a practitioner first, and goldenseal is not for use in pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuantum Health Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eL-Lysine With Vitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e — The amino acid the entire Super Lysine+ range is built around, in an absorbable liquid form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShiitake Mushroom Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — Contributes beta-glucans, and the reason many people take this purely for immune support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEchinacea Purpurea\u003c\/strong\u003e — The best known immune herb in North America, included as a full extract.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoldenseal Root\u003c\/strong\u003e — Contributes berberine and astringent properties to the blend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLicorice Root and Propolis\u003c\/strong\u003e — Licorice for its soothing character, propolis for the resin bees use to sterilise the hive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion to the Cold Sore Ointment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Works internally alongside the topical Super Lysine+ products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid Extract Format\u003c\/strong\u003e — A 40% alcohol base pulls compounds that water alone cannot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-quantum-health-super-lysine-plus-liquid-extract-60ml\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Quantum Health Super Lysine+ Liquid Extract?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA liquid herbal extract combining L-lysine and vitamin C with shiitake mushroom, echinacea, goldenseal, licorice, propolis and gum benzoin extracts, in a 60 ml bottle.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How do I take it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eUse as directed on the label, or as directed by a health care practitioner.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ Why is it a companion to the ointment?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eThe ointment addresses the cold sore topically; this works from the inside with lysine and immune herbs.
