We have been using 4cyte on our now retired Grand Prix Dressage horse for over 5 years. Awesome product endorsed by vets and surgeons to help our boy remain strong and healthy in his joints. Highly recommend and obviously tastes great too as our boy waits for it every day.

Fantastic product. One of the best joint supplements

Fabulous product! I’m feeding this to my 18yo Advanced dressage horse as a precaution to keep his joints healthy, my vet recommended this product. Works well, he’s sound and happy! And despite being a fuzzy eater who detects the smallest change to his feed, he doesn’t mind eating 4cyte every day.

Love this product, I’ve been using it for many years on a lot of horses, they all seem to like it, those that aren’t on much feed get it directly from the syringe. I regularly have my horses joints and feet xrayed and they’ve always shown prefect health, it’s the only joint supplement I use now.

Beth (verified owner) –
Fantastic product, super easy to use and the horses love the apple flavour. They get it before dinner every day. My 20 year old has arthritis in his hock and moves more freely thanks to 4Cyte. My vet recommended it.
Laura (verified owner) –
Great product for our 14 year old show jumping pony, just being used as a precaution to keep her joints healthy.
She is a super fussy eater but loves the flavour of 4cyte.
Sarah (verified owner) –
My 16yo arthritic fussy eater horse wouldn’t eat his feed at all with the 4cyte pellets so I gave the 4cyte gel a try instead. He has no issues with the gel and I am looking forward to seeing how he goes after he’s been on it a few weeks.

Absolutely a fantastic product, my 21 year old stationbred is bouncing around the paddock like a 2 year old. My old dogs are on 4cyte as well with fantastic results.
