4CYTE™ Canine is a Veterinary Only product.
This product provides nutritional compounds and needs to be utilised in appropriate cases where genuine benefit can be achieved. It is important that Veterinarians who understand your pets medical history and its symptoms make the correct diagnosis and treatment recommendation.
4CYTE™ Canine contains the full complement of the naturally forming glycosaminoglycan’s (including Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Keratin, Dermatan and Heparin) necessary for the health of the synovial fluid and cartilage matrix. Our in-vivo and in-vitro research has demonstrated significant bioavailability and efficacy at the stimulation of GAG’s production, with GAG levels a key objective measure of these peer reviewed and published papers.
All marine derived raw materials are by-products sourced from non-endangered species, harvested on a CITES certified under a strict quota basis and are by-products from harvested or certified aqua-farming operations.
More specifically the marine cartilage utilised in 4CYTE™ is from the fish backbone, which is a by-product of fish harvested for human consumption and come predominantly from Australian and New Zealand waters harvested under strict Governmental quota systems. The cartilage used is certified to not come from species listed in the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
We apply a very strict quality control process to our raw materials acquisition to ensure all ethical procedures and guidelines are applied and met. All product is premium “human grade” quality.
4CYTE™ Canine has undergone significant in-vivo and in-vitro research which has demonstrated that the active ingredients are effective following simulated digestion and ultrafiltration (“absorption”) and that the product does reach the joints following oral administration.
In-vitro studies 4CYTE™ Canine were subjected to a simulated digestion model and ultrafiltration process, thus mimicking the effects of natural digestion and absorption.
Objective measures were then applied measuring levels of degradative enzymes, Glycosaminoglycan’s, Nitric Oxide and Chondrocyte numbers.
