Lysine Equine (L-lysine (Monohydrochloride 99.5%)

L-lysine (Monohydrochloride 98.5%)500g

Lysine is an essential amino acid most often deficient in the diets of Horses.

Lysine is found in a wide variety of tissues, hormones, and cells throughout the body. Myosin and other muscle proteins contain large amounts of lysine. Proteins that require lysine include the collagens and elastins that make up bone matrix, tendons, skin, and articular cartilage. Keratin protein in hoof and hair also requires lysine. Inadequate intake of protein or required amino acids by horses may lead to reduced feed intake, body tissue loss, poor coat, and hoof growth and decreased growth and development of young animals.

Using  L-Lysine at times of stress is key to calcium absorption, boosting the immune system and supporting the body’s production of hormones, enzymes and antibodies.

L-Lysine is commonly considered a useful nutritional supplement for Herpes Virus outbreaks in people. A common disease of the modern day horse is Equine Rhinopneumonitis (EHV-1 & EHV-4), which is caused by a herpes virus. Rhino is the inflammation of the respiratory tract and is caused by a herpes virus; it lives in the horses’ body and cannot be cured.  Highly stressful situations can cause an outbreak to occur i.e. training, travelling, shows, other disease/infections, ulcers etc. Supplementing the immune system with L lysine can be very beneficial to optimal health and performance.
