Such activity was absent in quercetin and kaempferol. In this work, through a comprehensive anti-HHV-1 and anti-HHV-2 activity study, it was revealed that flavonoids, especially isorhamnetin, are responsible for the antiviral activity of EGb. The extract affected the viruses before adsorption to cell surface at non-cytotoxic concentrations. Pretreatment of the herpesviruses with EGb prior to infection of cells produced a remarkable anti-HHV-1 and anti-HHV-2 activity. We evaluated the antiviral activity of EGb and its phytochemical constituents: flavonoids and terpenes against HHV-1 and HHV-2. Limited studies, however, have addressed the potential antiviral activities of EGb, including herpesviruses such as Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) and Human alphaherpesvirus 2 (HHV-2).

Extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) is a common phytotherapeutics around the world with health benefits.

I will say, valtrex has helped shorten the duration (now just a few days compared to weeks before), lessen the severity and pain (now small, barely there ones). Will see over time if it works on frequency. Very frustrated and took an additional 1g tablet to help, and thankfully, it hasn't become worse. Today, I got up from bed and had a very small cold sore on the corner of my mouth. My doctor started prescribing me valtrex daily. However, in the last 6 months I've started having recurrent outbreaks, about once every 4-6 weeks, age, stress most likely. The outbreaks lessened in recent years, to maybe 1-2 a year, and shorter/less painful. I was prescribed Valtrex about 10 years ago as needed for outbreaks. In my 30's and 40's, I would get the worst cold sores.
