Lysine For My Cat!!!

[ioana]

Hi guys, I have a question about lysine powder.
My cat has been on lysine for a couple of years now...I buy it of amazon and I used only 2 companies. Both of them sent me LYSINE HYDROCHLORID. It's a bit Grainger but I noticed that it's a bit dirty from middle of the box.
I bought this last one from a new company and I noticed a difference in the way it looks, it's like a very fine powder and it says it's LYSINE MONOHYDROCHLORID.
What is the difference between them? I don't know if I should go back to the old company or try this one.
Thank you

We buy ours from Vitacost. It's what we've used for years. It's also less expensive, especially if you can buy it when they have free shipping or buy one get one free or half off. https://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-l-lysine-powder-435-mg-1-lb-454-g

To answer your original question, I have no idea.

Yes, yours is also monohydrochlorid lysine...I will try it and see the difference between the two.

Interesting, I didn't know there were two different kinds.

I noticed the difference in texture and it seems there is a difference, I just don't know what that is.
