whats the difference between lysine and l-lysine hcl for cats? I am currently giving my cat L-lysine Hcl oral gel I purchased from the vet . Look

To my knowledge, there is no difference, they are the same thing, lysine is just a simplified way of saying l lysine hcl.

I just looked it up and it appears to be the same thing; the l-... may be a marketing thing [or a differientiator].

As far as I know, there is not much difference. This is what I could find when I googled it: ("Lysine refers to a racemic mixture of both L- (levorotatory) and D- (dextrorotatory) enantiomers of the parent compound, Lysine in this case. Our bodies use only the L- enantiomer for metabolic processes therefore rendering any intake of the D- enantimer useless.") So either one is fine but the L-Lysine is what is absorbed.

The L in front of the name of the molecule is a description of the molecule structure. L and D are the two types of structure possible, but cats (and almost all other organisms) can only use the L form. Separating the L-molecules from the D-molecules can be costly, so a mix of the two (ie "Lysine" without designation of L-) might be cheaper, but essentially half strength. On the other hand, the manufacturer might have assumed that most consumers don't know what the "L-" means, so they nixed it.

I'm not sure, except price-lysine is an enzyme found in protein products-a diet with actual meat first, is less expensive-a spoon of real salmon, of tuna or baked chicken, as a meal-so much food, can or dry, is made with leftover products-feed a better quality and add REAL meat at least once daily-my cats are highland lynx, and they enjoy and benefit from some outdoor sunshine time [in a safe incloser of coarse] this is great for over all health-hope this helps

Is there ever any rhyme or reason to what cats will choose to eat? Not aware of any changes in composition of the food. Their (Newman's Own) website seems to be pretty up front about their products. You might check there to see if there have been any changes.

The one with the enzymatic tartar control works better on their teeth. This is the only brand I use for both my dog & my cats. You will be happy with the overall results & they love the flavor too!

Hi there! I bought this for my cat, so I made sure it was pure. Also, my dad takes this product because of it's purity! I sure hope this helps you with your question.

I buy L-Lysine tablets, crush the contents in the food processor and give her 1/4 teaspoon with 3 0z of water in her dry food, per her vet's advice. She eats it without a problem.

Greetings, for those that have Cat's/Kittens with an insatiable desire to eat the Mossy substance may I suggest some sort of decorative River Stones, Zen Stones, Florist Glass Vase Pebbles? This may prove to be less interesting to them. Just a thought.

I believe the l-lysine is the same but this dosage/formula is specific to animals. I would ask your vet or the company for additional info.

Sorry I don't know. My husband was taking the super lysine plus for cold sores but it made his heart race so he stopped taking it. I have never tried them or the just super lysine. He is really sensitive to medicine so I am sure his reaction is more than most people will get

I have two female cats that usually don't spray unless they get stressed out. Last summer I moved and they really did a number on my old house. When they were still showing some stressed behavior (not spraying) my vet suggested Feliway. I re-ordered Feliway (it's much cheaper than from the vet) and plan on continuing use. Did it stop them from spraying? I don't know. Do they seem calmer now? Yes. I'll definitely continue to use Feliway for the sake of my sanity as well as theirs.

I used this product and did not feel any such effect. However, I have used other products with L-Arginine and have. Now let me ask you a question: What is the difference between L-Arginine and L-Arginine AKG?

I'm not sure what you're asking. You mean ingredients? In any case, I've gone through different brands of cat food over the years (max cat, halo, before grain, wellness, etc). My kittens are super spoiled and I am fortunate to make enough to buy the best and I can honestly say that merrick before grain is the best I've tried so far. I've spent countless hours doing research and this food is fabulous and I highly recommend it. Just make sure you transition your kitten(s) properly. Let me know if you have specific questions - I'm not an expert but I love my kittens and want only the best for them or anyone else's :)All the best,Igor I'm not sure what you're asking.

Not sure what the difference is between Hyraulonic acid and L-ascorbic acid. My face usually breaks out pretty bad if using any of they acids... hyraulonic or L-asorbic. I usually get the plain Vit. C serum. But a friend got me a bottle of this. I tried it and my face got slightly pink, but it never broke out or even got to a red color. I highly recommend these products.

It would probably be best to contact the company about that. They're your basic cat treats, only they have Lysine added. This amino acid helps to keep feline herpes under control or assists a cat with a cold to lessen the symptoms and shorten its duration. I've just purchased a powder form, called Felisyl. The ingredients are not listed, but my cat loves it sprinkled on his food. The one thing I don't like about the treats is that they're high in calories, per my vet. He's advised I try and use as little of the treats as possible, so I give him 12 treats in the morning and the powder in the food at night. I may even try weaning him off of these altogether, because of the weight gain. It would probably be best to contact the company about that.

Hello - I returned this item. You are correct about there being little medication in the vials. Also, It did not work on my cats. :(

Yes they both do the same thing. I have two different refill plug-ins but these work in both of them. The effect on my cat is the same as well. I didn't realize the difference when I had first ordered the refills years ago until I saw the difference in plug-ins. My cat, never knew the difference, LOL.

I have purchased both & there is very little difference between the both. the one for the long hair cat has comb teeth very slightly longer. I would buy the one for long hair.

I have used L-lysine pills but it still didn't work as well as the lemon balm oitment. I put this stuff on as soon as I feel a cold sore or start to see one and by the end of the day it's gone but I still apply for a couple of days to make sure.
