"has anyone tried Viralprin?"
 
   Has anyone tried Viralprin to help treat either their cold sores or for genital herpes? I came across this product on the internet and was just wondering if it really works. I have severe and frequent cold sore obs and need some guidance.

the contents of their product. The ingredients are nothing special and the amounts are rather small. For example vitamin C is the first ingredient and it's only 50 mg. I take 10 times that twice a day. The vitamin E is listed in mg instead of IU, but it, too is not a large quantity. The Viralprin™ Proprietary Blend is a combination of common supplements that are often associated with immune enhancement, but again the quantity overall seems small.

This is just another "alternative" product that is promoted through the use of testimonials rather than independent scientific studies. I, personally, wouldn't waste my money.

The most effective treatments are still antiviral meds such as acyclovir, valtrex or famvir with the generic form of acyclovir being the most cost effective by far.

   Yes. I tried Viralprin for cold sores. I was very disappointed. Viralprin did not prevent or diminish my outbreaks. In addition, it made me sick (nauseous). I tried several times to contact the company, but could not get a live person on the phone. I resorted to sending an email and got a response only after I reported them to my credit card for fraud.

The company refused to give me a refund, even though I agreed to return the unused portion. They do not give guarantees or refunds for any used products. They claim that they do accept returns of unopended bottles, but charge you a fee, so they only will grant partial refunds.

I do not recommend Viralprin. Keep your money!

   Yes, I've tried Viralprin and actually noticed some positive results. It should be noted that since being diagnosed with HSV-2, I have taken a much stronger interest in my overall health by improving my diet and exercising more in addition to my daily regiment of Viralprin. I also noticed that another user had problems with nausea after he took the supplement. I have personally not experienced this problem if that is any help. Good luck out there, having Herpes is nothing to be ashamed of.

   Viralpin doesn't work very well. They are running fake review sites where of course they are reviewed as the best product. This is pretty sleazy. A lot of people get fooled. I have tried the product, and it doesn't work. Herpaflor is better.

In response to message #5
 
In my opinion, it's, at best, a placebo. It looks like they have their share of questionable reviews.

One answers site had a reply to someone asking about it:

"It contains a number of different ingredients which have been tested as treatments for herpes simplex infections.

None of the ingredients have been clearly demonstrated as effective for people with this condition in properly conducted clinical studies. At best, the evidence of effectiveness for any ingredient is Category C, which means "Unclear scientific evidence for this use".

The herpaflor website appears to make statements in breach of US law and the laws of a number of other countries concerning untrue or unproven therapeutic claims, such as "Guaranteed to work faster and better than anything you can buy, prescription or non-prescription."

Personally, I wouldn't bother with this product until they can provide more convincing evidence of its usefulness in treating herpes simplex infections or outbreaks in actual people."

   I have tried Viralprin and it worked for me. When I was upset about something, I would get an outbreak. I took Viralprin and now when I get upset, I don't get an outbreak, or if I do, it is not severe enough to get multiple sores.
