Why Magnesium Type Matters
Studies consistently show inorganic salts of magnesium are harder for the body to absorb. This is because they are bound to a substance that isn’t biological in origin. These include magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, and magnesium chloride.
When magnesium is bound to an organic substance, or something that is biological in origin, the magnesium is properly carried into cells. Examples of organic forms of magnesium include magnesium lysinate glycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium taurate. The body recognizes the substance, and the magnesium is easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
The best way to make sure you are supplementing with a magnesium that is bioavailable is to take a chelated magnesium supplement like magnesium lysinate glycinate. When elemental magnesium is chelated, it is bound to a carrier by two or more points of attachment. This makes it more stable and better absorbed by the body.
While I’ve tested many different brands, I personally take Well Minerals Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate, which is designed with a special MCT formulation that eliminates unwanted additives and fillers. It’s also free of all common allergens, including gluten, wheat, soy, and dairy, and is phthalate-free.
What Does L-lysine Do For Cats?
Very young kittens are often more susceptible to FHV.
Feline herpesvirus can cause conjunctivitis (eye inflammation) as well as upper respiratory signs of sneezing and nasal congestion in cats. A large majority of cats presenting with signs of sneezing and eye discharge have underlying herpesvirus infection.
The problem with herpesvirus is that while symptoms may come and go, it can never truly be removed from the body. Cats that have herpesvirus may continue to have flare-ups of conjunctivitis and sneezing throughout their lives. Flare-ups occur more often during times of stress, like during a move to a new home or the introduction of a new baby or pet that changes their familiar routine.
Feline herpesvirus can also predispose cats to secondary bacterial infections that can lead to worse signs like fever, heavy nasal congestion and inability to smell, bacterial conjunctivitis, lethargy, and poor appetite.
While improvements have certainly come along in the last 20 years, antiviral drugs generally have been more challenging to develop. This is because there are fewer parts of a virus for a drug to target than there are for bacteria. In addition, antivirals available, unlike most antibiotics, cannot cure a viral infection. Instead, these conditions require life-long therapy.
These challenges led to an interest in L-lysine’s potential to reduce the effects of herpesvirus symptoms through the administration of what is essentially a nutritional supplement that has very few perceived side effects.
Despite its promise, L-lysine has a varying record in research studies.
The use of lysine has been shown to suppress the shedding of the virus and to reduce the severity of conjunctivitis in experimental conditions.
Is Lysine Safe?
Like most amino acids, lysine supplements are considered relatively safe, even at higher doses. It's important for people with conditions and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding to avoid taking lysine supplements unless a healthcare provider prescribes them.
Lysine supplements are also unsafe for people with lysinuric protein intolerance. This intolerance is a rare genetic condition in which the body is unable to digest and use certain amino acids, such as lysine. Taking lysine supplements may cause side effects, such as abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Potential Drug Interactions
Lysine isn't known to interact with any medications. Don't start taking lysine supplements without clearing it with a healthcare provider if you're taking one or more medications. There's always a chance that a supplement could interact with a medication or other supplements, especially ones containing more than one ingredient.
What To Look For
Lysine supplements are available for purchase online and in health food stores. The label might say "l-lysine." The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) minimally regulates supplements. It's important to purchase supplements from trusted brands that adhere to strict quality and safety standards.
Many brands use third-party labs to test their products for quality and purity. Choose supplements certified by organizations like UL, USP, and NSF International.
You'll also want to consider supplement form, cost, and additives. If you cannot tolerate swallowing pills, a powdered lysine supplement might be a better choice.
Look for ingredients that you may prefer to avoid in your diet, such as added sugars, fillers, and artificial colors and flavors. These additives are commonly used in dietary supplements like gummies and powders.
Can You Take Too Much?
Lysine is considered safe at higher doses, but it's important to not take more than 6,000 mg per day. Doses higher than this may cause side effects like abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and nausea.
Lektura, praca, modlitwa
Na początku VI wieku biskup Cezary z Arles wymagał od członkiń i członków podlegających mu galijskich wspólnot, by czytali do późnego ranka, a potem przez resztę dnia wykonywali przypisane im prace z przerwami na modlitwy.
Mniej więcej osiemdziesiąt lat później Izydor z Sewilli dbał o to, by dostosować rozkład dnia swoich mnichów do pory roku, przy czym latem planował dla nich także czas na sjestę […]. Nawet wówczas gdy rozkłady dnia wyglądały podobnie, kryjące się za nimi rozumowanie mogło być zupełnie różne.
