lysine is an amino acid that is specific to the herpes virus--it tricks it into not replicating. it's about the only supplement that i know of that MDs, DOs, DVMs, as well as homeopathic and holistic practitioners agree upon. one of the state vet associations suggested that ALL cats get lysine daily as a preventative; it can't hurt them, and it will keep any herpes infections from occurring.
buy it powdered by the pound!

Hi again! I hope I'm not getting annoying!!I found some L-Lysine at the store the other day and bought a bottle cuz I knew it was something I could give Slinky. But now I'm not sure whether he needs it all the time or just when he's sick? He hasn't had any felv symptoms or anything. But...should I give it to him just to boost his immune system?Also, how many supps should I be giving? I don't want to overwhelm his system or give him too much of anything. He's eating Innova Evo canned and dry. And I'm giving him Gentle Digest (probiotics). I also have that vitamin supplement I wrote about a while ago, but haven't been giving it with any regularity yet.What are your thoughts on supplements? How many, when, how often, which ones, etc?Thanks!!!MJ
