More information
4CYTE Granules for Dogs and Cats is an advanced daily joint supplement scientifically formulated to maintain, protect, and actively restore joint function. Whether you have an athletic working dog, a senior cat suffering from stiffness, or a young large-breed puppy requiring preventative joint care, 4CYTE delivers targeted nutritional support straight to the cartilage.
The secret to 4CYTE's superior efficacy is the combination of EpiitalisĀ® (a patented plant-derived seed oil extract) with premium human-grade marine ingredients: New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel, Abalone, and Marine Cartilage. In-vitro research shows that combining these four active compounds creates a synergistic effect far more potent than any single ingredient on its own, making it one of the leading choices for cat and dog joint supplements in NZ.
