Herpafend Ingredients
Herpafend contains 4 named ingredients spanning general immune support, antioxidant protection and HSV-relevant amino acid intake.
If you take prescription medication, especially antivirals, check with your doctor before starting.
Four named ingredients
What distinguishes this label is transparency: every ingredient is individually named rather than folded into a vague, unnamed proprietary blend, and each has some published research behind it.
All 4 ingredients, one by one
Elderberry Extract (Sambucus nigra)
A botanical with a long traditional immune-support history. A 2021 study by Schön et al. in Food and Agricultural Immunology demonstrated antiviral and immunomodulatory effects in vitro and ex vivo.
Echinacea Purpurea Extract
A traditionally used botanical. A mouse-model study by Ghaemi et al. in Intervirology found echinacea treatment associated with a reduced HSV-1 latency rate.
Citrus Bioflavonoids (50%)
Antioxidant compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress. A meta-analysis by Sebastiano et al. in Current Zoology associated oxidative stress with herpesvirus activity in vertebrates.
L-Lysine
An essential amino acid with the field's longest, most specific research history related to herpes simplex management. A 6-month study by Griffith et al. in Dermatologica found regular L-Lysine treatment associated with reduced recurrent HSV infections.
What to discuss with your doctor first
