The virus injects it's DNA into the nucleus of the host cell, leaving instructions for the building of more viruses. The host cell is unable to distinguish between the viral DNA and its own DNA.  The cell will continue to make more viruses until it bursts, releasing the viruses into the body to infect more cells. An uninfected cell usually does not use much of the amino acid, Arginine, while cells that are infected use a lot of Arginine to make more viruses. The cell's natural chemical process that uses arginine is limited by the quantity of L-Lysine (another amino acid) that's available. By giving daily L-Lysine supplements to your cat, you increase the quantity of L-Lysine available for the cat's cells to use, which means that the cell uses more arginine for its natural functions. This leaves less arginine available for the production of the cat herpes virus, thereby slowing the growth of the infection. By administering a daily L-Lysine supplement, you can both help slow an already present Herpes Virus infection in your cat, and prevent your cat from contracting future infections.
