L-Lysine Powder - 500 Grams

Back in the mid 90s, I took lysine for about 2 years, 500mg/day, and noticed that I stopped getting fever blisters. No outbreaks at all. And I used to get honkers. So big that my husband would give them names, "Oh, are you and Chuck going out for awhile?" Funny. After I didn't have them for a few years, I laid off for a couple of years, taking it now and then, and still no outbreaks. Then in the last 5 years, I got maybe 4, not even one a year, but they never came to fruition: just a bump for a day or two, then went away. Then a couple of months ago, I got some to give to the stray kittens for their eye infections, so we started taking it again. We put it in our breakfast mix (cottage cheese and flax seed oil ala Budwig). It's tasteless, don't even know it's there. There is some evidence that cancer can be based in a virus and lysine is definitely anti-viral. It's so easy to take and no evidence that it can hurt, so it's again part of our routine and we're very glad to have it back! The kittens were very healthy when we took them to the no-kill shelter :)

I use L-Lysine, in general, as an immune booster for my cats, and for other cats in the rescue I volunteer for. It works! This is my favorite L-Lysine product because of level of quality, and because of the fine grain that this product comes in. We had always used this brand, but last time I tried the NOW brand L-Lysine powder because I like trust that brand as well as this one, and their price was lower. It was a mistake. That stuff was SO thickly grained. I won't ever deviate from this NutraBio brand again, because this is the only brand that has the L-Lysine powder as an actual very fine grain powder. Other brands have a much rougher grain, and it doesn't stick to the kibbles as well. I use this product every day, sprinkled onto my cats dry food. Because it is as fine as dust, it sticks really well to my cat's food and therefore they get more of it per bite, and I don't end up wasting any because it doesn't stick and falls to the bottom of the bowl. It's worth the extra price!

I bought this to help feral cats I feed who had a cold. It worked well and they recovered in a couple of weeks. It easily mixes with wet food and doesn't put off the cats from the food. Would recommend.

I'm giving 4 stars bc i haven't had this for long enough to say how it works. But I will say that it's a really big container and one scoop is tiny, so this will last awhile. It has a slight taste but can be diluted or mixed into something to cover the taste. Dissolves nicely.

No taste, dissolves well in morning coffee
