If you are interested in 4Cyte, the pelleted version is Epiitalis and GLM. It’s not as effective as Epiitalis apparently, but easy enough to load into little daily supplement containers. It is a bit stinky though so maybe mix some powedered sweetener into it.

Thank you! I will look into this.
My 21 yr old Appendix has been on 4-cyte since mid-May, and I’ve seen a definite improvement in his movement and hoof growth. I did the 8 cc/day oral loading dose for 2 wks as recommended but left him on 6 cc a day rather than 4 cc as they recommend. His range of motion in his neck and legs, and general comfort are better than after the neck, stifle and hock PRP and Arthrimid injections he had earlier this year. It seems more cost effective for the level of improvement I’ve noticed. So far, I plan to keep my guy on it for the foreseeable future. Hope this is helpful.

Bumping this back up to see if anyone had any updated experiences. My horse has been on it for a month. I’m not sure if it’s too soon to come to any conclusions, but I haven’t seen any changes.

I trialed my almost 27 year old on 4CYTE for the last 5 weeks. I don’t see anything to indicate it’s helping. I’m confident that I would notice, and when I started this horse on glucosamine 11ish years ago his walk warmup to ready to trot time decreased to 5-6 minutes from 11-12 minutes after 7-10 days.
The 4CYTE was suggested by my vet when I asked about alternatives to Osphos. Osphos had worked quite well, but it takes a month to show effects, I noticed the effects fading around five months, and it’s supposed to be minimum 6 months between injections.
I had the Osphos done again this past Wednesday.

I just ordered this. My mare got OsPhos last week and I want to help support that (and given her age don’t want to do OsPhos more than yearly if I can). Hoping she eats it. She can be very picky about gels/oils.

If it’s any consolation, my picky horse had no problem with it! It’s a fairly small amount too so easily disguised.

Even my very picky gelding eats it. It’s only 8cc/day as the loading dose, and 4cc/day following that. I have a friend who uses it herself, and she says it’s much better than cough syrup!
I give mine by syringe, just because of the expense, I want to make sure he gets it. But it seems to be very acceptable.
@Dbliron is your friend taking the equine formula, or has she bought the human version?
We can’t get the human version in Canada, so she’s taking the equine version. My equine vet’s been doing the same thing.
