4Cyte Joint Treatment

My 11 year old ACD is on it and it's doing him a lot of good. He still loves running with me so it allows him to keep doing that comfortably - a slow easy 9km on soft trails last week with no issues or soreness. Better results for him in my experience than Joint Guard or Cartrophen injections. I know two other people who have used it with similarly good results, and one person who didn't find it very effective at all - but they didn't dose correctly.

The one common theme is what a pain in the butt it is to dispense with that silly little long spoon and getting the right number of balls on it. I get my kids to do it so it no longer bothers me.

I've been told there's a similar product for people, keen to try that one for my creaky joints.

We've been using it for a few years and I really like it, it's pretty popular with dog agility people in NZ :)

Where do you get yours? I had a look online today (admittedly quick & lazy) but couldn't see a really obvious place online

Vet Products Direct.......my injury vet recommended it, I believe it is better than all the other joint formulas.............cheaper to buy in bulk though if you can get a syndicate going

Ta :) but but Podengo and I are NZ based ;)

I work in a vet clinic so order it through work, I think it comes from ProVet.

I have a few clients that order it from here My link

Thank you! I did look around and wondered if my vet would order it in - I'm sure they would - but online is easier in some respects.

*Edited to add - they're cheap! DAP difuser & refill is $11 cheaper than my usual online place - refills not any cheaper tho...*

I have been using it for about 6 months upon the recommendation of a veterinary chiropractor for my 12 yo Belgian Shepherd. I have seen a marked improvement over just feeding a combination of fish oil and green lipped muscle. (She still gets fish oil with 4cyte). I buy off eBay, usually one vendor, sometimes The Vet Shed, Oveds or Vet n Pet Direct be offering a deal with cheap postage if you buy two.

That price from The Vet Shed is really good! I just started my girl on it tonight. She will most likely need a THR in her right hip but it's not yet bad enough so hopefully this will make a difference along with her medications and other supplements. Fingers crossed and thank you for starting this thread! I was told about it a while ago but forgot all about it.

Just resurrecting this thread - I ran out of 4cyte and Sarah missed out for a week or two. I finally got my act together and she started back on it on Monday. Because she had a gap, I'm giving her a loading dose for a couple of days before dropping her back again to the maintenance dose - and can't believe what a difference its made. She's walking so much better. I'm really sold on this stuff!

Thanks Boronia. I usually buy the 100gm packs from my vet as by the time I add postage the price difference is zero/negligible.

Just bumping up this old(ish) topic WM as I had an email from 'The Vet Shed'  and it appears there is to be a price-rise  (or they said the price was going up, I don't know whether it is or not), they said they were still selling at the old price so maybe you and other 4Cyte-using Dolers are interested
