How does Lipivir Protect work?

Don't give the virus a chance

Cold sores are caused by a virus that remains in the body for life after infection. The HSV-1 virus is located in the nerve nodes. From there it sends out viruses that detect whether the conditions are favorable for a herpes outbreak (sun, stress, flu, weakened immune system). Depending on this, a major outbreak occurs on the lips. Regular care with Lipivir Protect changes the conditions so that there are fewer outbreaks. 

Clinically proven effect

A long-term clinical study over 6 months (1) at the University Hospital Zurich has shown this: In 80% of patients severely affected by herpes, outbreaks were reduced by 75 to 100%. If you extrapolate the duration of the study to a whole year, this means for most of those affected: instead of 12 outbreaks, only 3 outbreaks or even fewer. In other words, prevention with Lipivir Protect has been proven to help.

Patented recipe

The Lipivir Protect care formula developed in Swiss laboratories is patented worldwide, and the special composition of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) is an approved cosmetic for lip care. The nourishing effect is supported by the oil from the leaves and twigs of the manuka plant, also known as South Sea myrtle (lat. Leptospermum scoparium). It grows exclusively in New Zealand and its antiseptic and antiviral effect has also been scientifically proven.
