What's Actually Happening in Your Cat's Body
Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) is a lifelong virus — once a cat has it, it never fully goes away. Instead, it goes dormant between flare-ups. The virus needs an amino acid called arginine to replicate. L-Lysine works by competing with arginine, slowing the virus's ability to multiply during a flare-up. This is why vets have recommended L-Lysine for cats with FHV-1 for decades. But not all lysine supplements are created equal. Most products contain only 500mg per serving — and only lysine. Daybreak delivers 900mg and combines it with anti-inflammatory Krill Omega-3 and gut-supporting FOS Prebiotic.
