L-Lysine Powder, Bulk, Resealable Bag, USP Pharmaceutical-Grade, 100% Pure L-Lysine HCl Amino Acid, No Fillers (1 lb)

I use this powder for my cats to help with sneezing and runny noses (caused by feline herpes virus). I used to buy a product from the vet that could be fed directly to the cats but since I have multiple cats using L-Lysine the cost was prohibitive. When I found this bulk powder, it did require a little math to calculate the correct dosage (about 1/8 teaspoon). I mix it with canned cat food and they don't even notice. This 1 lb bag costs slightly more than a can of the product from the vet and lasts for months, whereas the can from the vet only lasted about 3 weeks. It is just as effective as the veterinary product and really helps with the sneezing and runny noses. This is a good quality product and the company always sends a follow-up email asking if there were any problems.

I put this on my cats' dry food once daily with Fortiflora and they are fine with it. I only use 1/4 tsp for 4 cats since they don't eat much, but it's already helping my cat with eye herpes and the one with a chronic URI. It does taste salty so make sure they've got plenty of water available. This is a good item at an excellent price, and shipping was quick. To avoid the problem with the ziploc bag, I pour some into an old medication bottle and use from there.

Used for my cat to get rid of the gooey irritated eyes. Did take a minute, but his eyes are now open and look perfect. I was skeptical. However, if his gooey eyes were due to allergies, maybe it'll come back during the summer. We'll see.

I use this Lysine in my cats food. First purchase was fine, this bag had moisture in it because it had lumps and was not a clean powder as before.

I had a URI hit my barn cats this winter/spring. Once one of them gets it -- they all get it. One poor kitty has horrible red spots on her face (the kitty herpes virus which comes from that upper respiratory infection). I went to the vet and got her treated, but it was going to be so expensive to treat 12 barn kits.the vet gave me kitty lysine powder, which was very expensive. This product from CAP Nutra was much more afforable and it exactly the same thing. I treated my kitties by adding a tablespoon into wet food thinned with water and putting it over their dry food. It took just around two weeks, but everyone was breathing better, feeling better and the sores on my precious Calico were healing nicely.I now use as a maintenance treatment -- giving them 1 T mixed in three large cans of wet cat food thinned with water (until soupy) and then pouring it over their dry kibble. I've not had any instance of sickness since January.If I had a single kitty I would only use 1/4 - 1/2 tsp over food, but I used more because of the number of kits I have.I'm actually getting ready to order another bag so I have it on hand at all times!

I have several barn cats that harbor the herpes vires, which causes sneezing, runny eyes and occasionally mouth sores. I mix a tablespoon into a can of wet food, then mix the wet food into the dry food. It must not have any taste or smell, because the cats eat it without hesitation. I think the severity and frequency of breakouts has lessened. It does seem to help boost the cats' immune systems.

I've read where this stuff is great for cats with herpes. I've also read where it does absolutely nothing. I decided to try it, and my herpes cat had a big infection about 3 weeks after starting. I think I'll go through this bag and then try the next newest and greatest thing!

nice amount for the price
