Optixcare L-Lysine Powder
L-Lysine Nutritional Supplement For Cats & Kittens
Aventix Optixcare L-Lysine Powder is a nutritional supplement that
helps manage feline herpes virus in cats and kittens. L-Lysine decreases a cat's risk of contracting the
herpes virus (Rhinotracheitis) and slows the growth of the infection.
Optixcare L-Lysine Powder is veterinarian developed and
tested.
How Does L-Lysine Help?
Viral infections grow when the virus takes control of a
host cell and makes it use its resources to produce more viruses. The virus
injects it's DNA into the nucleus of the host cell, leaving instructions for the
building of more viruses. The host cell is unable to distinguish between the
viral DNA and its own DNA. The cell will continue to make more viruses
until it bursts, releasing the viruses into the body to infect more cells.
An uninfected cell usually does not use much of the
amino acid, Arginine, while cells that are infected use a lot of Arginine to
make more viruses. The cell's natural chemical process that uses arginine is
limited by the quantity of L-Lysine (another amino acid) that's available. By
giving daily L-Lysine supplements to your cat, you increase the quantity of
L-Lysine available for the cat's cells to use, which means that the cell uses
more arginine for its natural functions. This leaves less arginine available for
the production of the cat herpes virus, thereby slowing the growth of the
infection.
By administering a daily L-Lysine supplement, you can
both help slow an already present Herpes Virus infection in your cat, and
prevent your cat from contracting future infections.
