propylene glycol is in antifreeze -- i'm surprized they use that in the
human supplements!
"Propylene glycol is metabolized to lactate. In toxic quantities, acidosis,
liver damage, and renal insufficiency are possible. Clinical signs of a
propylene glycol toxicoses include CNS depression, weakness, ataxia, and
seizures. With large ingestion, diuresis and supportive care, such as
treatment for acidosis, should be given. The usefulness of 4MP (Fomepizole)
for treating PG toxicosis is not known and treatment with ethanol may cause
more problems in relation to the development of acidosis."

Hey Susan,
One of the important things to know about lysine is
that if it has the preservative propylene glycol, as
some made for humans do, it can cause blood issues in
cats, so just make sure you're using pure lysine.
