NOW Foods Supplements, L-Lysine (L-Lysine Hydrochloride) Powder, Supports Collagen Synthesis*, Amino Acid, 1-Pound

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.

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.

This is a great, well-respected brand with straight-forward ingredients. This is exactly what I was looking for to give my cats when they start sneezing or have any other issue that needs to have their immune systems boosted. I love that it's just one ingredient and doesn't have the fillers that the pet brands do. I also love the price and quantity of it. After three to four days of this, my kitties are all better. It's nice to know I have it on hand if I need a boost too.

I have had great success using this product. I was using a different L-lysine product for many years and switched to this brand several months ago. It is an extremely good value and works exactly the same as the other L-lysine product I used for years. The value is exceptional. My veterinarian suggested L-lysine for my cat and this is what I use it for. He has a type of feline herpes and it affects his eyes. When he has an outbreak his eyes will be extremely teary and crusty. They also get very swollen. As long as I use the L-lysine supplement his eyes will stay clear about 90-95% of the time. I'm so glad I found this brand, which lasts a lot longer and costs a lot less than the one I was using before. My cat is very finicky and he always eats this. I sprinkle the recommended dose on his wet food. There is no scoop included in this so I calculated the dose and figured it to be almost exactly the same as the other brand I was using. I just kept the little plastic scoop from the other container. The best way I can describe the color and consistency of this product is that it's similar to a powdered laundry detergent. The other brand was just like this. It also has a fishy smell, and as I have already stated, my cat gobbles it right up. I would definitely recommend this product for this purpose.
