Product Description
12-unit VALUE PACK of Now Foods Lysine Powder, 1 lb -Now Foods Lysine Powder, 1 lb ( Multi-Pack) Review
We use l-lysine to help suppress the symptoms of our cat with feline herpes. When he's on a regular dose (a higher dose of 500 mg, 2x/day), his runny/ulcerated eyes are calm and clear, and his wet sneezing is down to a minimum.First we tried the goopy paste from the vet's office (Enisyl-F (L-Lysine) Nutritional Supplement for Cats, Metered Dose Pump 100 mL) but my cat was having none of that! The taste, the texture...something about that paste was off-putting to him.
Lysine powder works great, and offers great savings. I tasted the powder myself--a little bitter, but in a highly-flavored wet food, it didn't seem to bother our cat. Opening lysine capsules and mixing the powder into his wet food worked just fine but got expensive after a while. Plus, all of those gelatin capsules were just wasteful (and annoying).
Details:
* This 1 lb. bottle of pharmaceutical grade (USP) l-lysine monohydrochloride contains 822 1/4 teaspoon servings.
* A level 1/4 teaspoon of powder = 435 mg of lysine. (It's important to measure properly when dosing your cat; consult your vet for the right dose for your cat.)
* This "powder" is far more granular/coarse than the powder in gelatin capsules: think a slightly finer laundry powder or coarse-ground black pepper. You will likely need to serve this in wet food, even if just a dollop of highly-flavored wet food to bind the granules. (This coarseness is why I dropped the score one star; a finer powder is slightly easier to mix in and mask.)
* The container is naturally larger than the average vitamin bottle. Envision the dimensions of a canister of oats, and you're close.
* The powder is sold by weight and settles in the bottle. You may want to transfer some of the powder to an empty vitamin bottle (not clear) for easier reach of the measuring spoon.
NOW Foods is a good, reliable brand with a solid reputation. If you're looking for an affordable and easy way to help your cat with feline herpes, you really can't go wrong with this product.
