OTC Herpes products come in two main forms: supplements and topical serums. Herpes supplements contain ingredients have been shown to suppress the virus while increasing the immune system. Those who take Herpes supplements in addition to improving their overall lifestyle such as eating better, exercising more, and quitting harmful activities such as excessively drinking alcohol, smoking, and drug use will generally see more positive results than those that simply take the supplement.

The other option is to use a topical solution such as a spray, gel, or cream. This method has both positive and negative attributes. For example, using a topical solution on a current Herpes Outbreak will generally produce positive results as the ingredients in these solutions have been proven over time. However, one negative aspect of using a topical solution to suppress the Herpes virus is that most of these products only work to reduce current Outbreaks rather than attempt to suppress the virus from producing outbreaks.

Traditional options

If you have Herpes, you should contact a physician to learn more about your options. There are of course a variety of prescription options. However, many people choose to use purchase OTC treatments because they either feel more comfortable using natural products or that the high price of prescription Herpes medication are simply too expensive to take everyday.

Whichever path you choose, please take the time to ensure that the product you choose contains safe, proven ingredients. Do not believe any product that claims it can cure Herpes as this is not only false, but against Federal law as well.
