## Description

Product Description L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation.* Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone.* L-Lysine is also a precursor to L-carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production.* In addition, L-Lysine may help to support a healthy immune system and proper cardiovascular function.* Brand Story By NOW Foods

Review: This stuff is amazing both for cats and humans - This stuff is amazing both for cats and humans! It was suggested to us when we had a sick stray cat at the Vet that had mouth ulcers. Very common in outdoor cats that have Feline Hepes Virus, is what I was told. It appears to be working well on the ones that have been having runny eyes too and with in two days we noticed a drastic improvement! They all seem to be feeling better. I am using it to help boost my immune system and help with my osteoporosis, but to soon to tell yet for me. But I will keep taking it because I'm sure that I'm lacking Lysine due to my diet not containing enough meat and the fact that our bodies dont produce it, so I've been told. (I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR OR VET. so PLEASE consult yours prior to use and DON'T just go by my opinion!) Just be aware that it can cause kidney stones and to consult your Vet and M.D. prior to use if theres any chance for kidney failure, just to be on the safe side. I am VERY HAPPY with this product and it is easy to use and the cats dont know when I mix it in the wet food. (It would be nice if it came with a measuring spoon) Great Value! Over 800 1/4 tsp. servings per container.
Review: Wouldn't be without lysine. - This is good stuff! I ALWAYS keep some at my house. Saves me on both dr & vet bills if used at right times & for right things. Water soluble & pretty harmless even if took too much, excess passes out thru urine. It's an amino acid that's natural for the body as opposed to an un-natural chemical concocked in a lab. I love that it's such a safe thing to use for my pets! Sprinkled lightly on kitty's food or in water bowl helps keep cats healthy when there's cat illness going around. Helps them recover when they get sneezing/runny nose/& cold symtoms easier & faster than w/o lysine. Boosts the immune system. Does for me too if start feeling under the weather, & if anyone has cold sores or facial herpes it's the go to for that too. I use this if I've been around coughing/sneezing/ or obviously sick people to prevent getting sick. Vet prescribed it for my dog that had recurring auto-immune reated ear infections & He got daily tablet of this for life w/ good results. Good for people & their cats & dogs too! But if you use this for cats or dogs, please look up the proper mg doses & measure this out appropriately. It's easy to do right; about 1/8-1/4 tsp for cat depending on problem & severity; & tiny dogs. My dog was 90 lbs & took human doses of lysine. I like the tablets best for me & my large dog, but the powder is most convenient & easiest form for cats, kittens, small dogs & puppies. And NOW brand is the only brand I use because I know NOW brand actually has in it what it says it has! Look it up & you can find out how different brands stack up when tested for that. NOW can be trusted for quality & ingredients.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Those using this for cats, how long before you saw results? Do you plan on giving this forever or just a month or so?**
A: Immediately. When Emy does not take lysine her eye herpes acts up. I was giving her feline l lysine chews, she stopped liking them, even cut up in tiny pieces in her food. Within two day a flare up. Gave her 1/4 tsp in her food of the powdered l lysine at night, she woke up with clear eyes.  Yes, she was “prescribed” 500 mg l lysine chews daily by her vet. They are expensive and cats are finicky, so this is a more economical way to dose daily.

**Q: Country of origin for the powder? (China?)**
A: Yes. I called Now Foods. The Lysine powder is sourced from China.

**Q: Is this the same as what comes in lysine capsules just without the capsule?  And how many mg's per serving? Thanks.**
A: Yes, L-Lysine is Lysine. It is the same as what people use to prevent\treat cold sores. It comes in a very large jar.  It is a very fine granular product. Info from the label.  Supports healthy connective tissue. Supports calcium absorption. Serving size is 1/4 teaspoon.  (552 mg)       Number of servings per container 822.

**Q: Was your bottle bloated?   Mine arrived with the top seal & bottom of bottle convex--like it's overblown with too much air.**
A: No.  Return the bottle.  Bloating would indicate contamination; probably moisture and bacterial contamination of that bottle.  This can occur if something contaminates a container before or during the filling process.  It is a rare event, but it can occur.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked much better than Viralys
*by A***R on October 16, 2021*

I’d been using this for my rescued kitty who is about a year and a half now. Weepy eye from FHV. Rescue told me it would clear up (but did not mention FHV) and not to get the eye meds unless I had to, because it was expensive. (It was not expensive. It was $20. But I didn’t get it thinking her eye would clear up as they said. It did not, and consequently there appears to be damage in the tear duct as it doesn’t drain properly. If I’d treated her sooner there’s no doubt she’d be in better shape now. This rescue was teaching their adopters to be cheap with their new family member! This is a true disservice to my little girl whose quality of life would be much improved today if I’d just cared for her properly by getting this eye meds immediately. Very disappointed in that rescue.) I have purchased another container of the NOW lysine and will keep using it going forward. My vet has said she “thinks” it is FHV but no way to confirm. A friend recommended the lysine and it has done wonders. My vet never mentioned lysine. Antibiotics and eye drops really not much help. My little girl is doing well now, once I get her back on the NOW lysine. Anecdote: I’d been giving this to all my cats. I adopted another kitten at the same time - a fluffy grayish boy who may have some Russian blue in him. I learned that lysine can counteract L-arginine absorption in cats which is needed for proper urinary health. Given that Russian blues have urinary tracts issues, I stopped giving this to my male cat. He seems healthy and though he previously had a cough, he seems to have no problem with FHV so I am no longer treating him with lysine. He and our older cat did develop respiratory symptoms but they seem to have cleared the virus. Just a heads up that lysine may cause issues in cats that have urinary tract issues.
