Shingles Supplement FAQ

Q: What are shingles supplements, and what can they do for you?

Shingles is an unpleasant condition caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. While there is no cure for shingles, treatment is possible. Natural shingles supplements contain ingredients to help relieve painful symptoms, reduce inflammation and infection, strengthen the immune system, and stave off future bouts.

L-Lysine can help stop the virus from spreading, while Proteolytic Enzymes help relieve inflammation and painful symptoms. Lemon Balm is another key ingredient for relieving pain. Adaptogenic Mushrooms such as Reishi provide antiviral properties, and B Vitamins nourish the nervous system to prevent damage to the nerves (which are affected by shingles outbreaks).

Q: Do all shingles supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should provide a 1000 mg daily serving of L-Lysine to help prevent the virus from spreading.
• It should contain Proteolytic Enzymes such as Papain and Bromelain to relieve inflammation and painful symptoms.
• It should contain Adaptogenic Mushrooms to relieve symptoms due to their antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-bacterial, and antiviral properties.
• It should contain B Vitamins such as Vitamin B12 to nourish and protect the nervous system.
• It should contain Lemon Balm to alleviate pain.
• It should contain BioPerine^® or an equivalent thermogenic enhancer for increased absorption and faster results.
• It must have no fillers, binders or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between shingles supplements and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis.

Q: How do I take shingles supplements?

You should take either one or two capsules per day - depending on the instructions on the label. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while for others it may take slightly longer. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame. For example, Research Verified Shinglax offers a 365-day money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results you experience.

Q: How much do shingles supplements cost?

The cost of shingles supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the diet/health trends. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
