Microbiota alterations leading to amino acid deficiency contribute to depression in children and adolescents [2025]
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12087099/"Our findings highlight that gut microbiota alterations contribute to AAs deficiency, particularly lysine, which plays a crucial role in MDD pathogenesis in children and adolescents. "

The amino acid #Lysine "exerts a partially inhibitory effect upon virus multiplication." The virus named in the study is the same that causes cold sores.
This study suggests that eating foods higher in lysine (milk, eggs, fish) and avoiding foods higher in arginine (chocolate, peanuts, coconut, tree nuts) could reduce cold sore outbreaks.

Those flare-ups are usually life-long and can be demoralizing. One idea that may help you to reduce the outbreaks and severity:
Eat foods with a high lysine/arginine ratio. Foods high in the amino acid arginine can promote herpes virus replication, while foods high in the amino acid lysine can inhibit it.
Some good food choices:
milk, cheese, eggs, fish, lentils, beans, sweet potatoes.... -

Makin beans so of course I’m thinking about my lysine levels https://youtu.be/n0Fx-_7oN5U?si=vYW1mFIxwti2Rop9 #music #lysine

Our preprint describes how #EffectivePopulationSize affects #AminoAcid usage. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.01.526552v2. Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6
