I was reading about Lysine boosting strategies for Covid prevention and recovery. While doing I read a few studies recommending against caffeine, since it would go against this lysine boosting logic. One study below claims it promotes arginine in the brain. Since Lysine/Arginine/NO/Caffeine have been discussed extensively on this forum, some of you may have thoughts on this. Does the caffeine reduction argument makes sense to you? Both the study and the video linked below claim that patients get worse with caffeine during Covid recovery.
