Hi all, At least 2 of my kitties have herpes and I have been reading a lot on here about the benefits of adding lactoferrin to their diet. Which brand(s) do you like and how much should I give? I assume that I can give this to them safely in addition to the L-lysine? Thank you so much in advance!!

Yes, in fact it was this study that found the combination of lysine and lactoferrin to be more effective than lysine alone: http://www.medwelljournals.com/abstract/?doi=javaa.2013.181.185

I'm using Jarrow lactoferrin. I confirmed with the company that it is bovine lactoferrin. I order it from Amazon.

If your kitties are adults, the dose is 1/2 a capsule (the capsules are 250mg) twice a day. It can be added to food.

If your kitties are kittens, the dose is half that. :)

I hope it helps!
