Mix with a joint support diet
Product Information
4CYTE Canine Granules give your dog comprehensive joint support by combining Epiitalis®, a clinically studied plant seed oil for cartilage repair, with New Zealand green-lipped mussel, marine cartilage, and abalone. A loading dose in the first four weeks builds results faster, followed by a lower maintenance dose for ongoing support. Just sprinkle onto food using the supplied scoop. Available in 50g and 100g bags from 6 months of age, no prescription required.
Health Benefits
- Cartilage cell stimulation: Epiitalis, a patented plant-based triglyceride oil, helps promote the production of healthy cartilage cells and may slow cartilage breakdown by suppressing the inflammatory compounds that drive joint degeneration
- Multi-ingredient joint support: combines the plant-based oil with New Zealand green-lipped mussel, marine cartilage, and abalone, which provide naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans that help support joint lubrication and connective tissue health
- Faster results with loading dose: a higher dose in the first four weeks helps build active ingredient levels more quickly in joint tissue, with a lower maintenance dose continuing the benefit long-term
- Reduced stiffness and improved movement: the combination of ingredients may help ease stiffness associated with osteoarthritis and normal ageing, helping dogs rise, walk, and exercise with greater comfort
- Clinically studied active ingredient: in a University of Melbourne clinical study, 93.5% of dogs with osteoarthritis showed improvement in quality of life within 28 days on the Epiitalis plant-based oil formula
- Easy daily administration: granule format sprinkles directly onto food using the supplied scoop, with no prescription required and no strong smell or taste that puts dogs off eating
4CYTE Canine Sachets are a daily granule joint supplement for dogs that support cartilage health and joint function, mixed directly into food.
What It’s Used For
- Osteoarthritis in dogs (joint degeneration): reduces inflammation and supports cartilage repair in dogs with age-related joint disease
- Reduced mobility and stiffness: helps dogs that are slower to rise, reluctant to exercise, or stiff after activity
- Active and working dogs: maintains joint resilience and performance in high-activity or performance dogs
- Post-surgery joint support: supports tissue health and recovery following joint surgery or procedures
- Preventative joint maintenance: suitable for long-term daily use from an early age to protect joints before damage develops

Why Dr Jane Miller Recommends It
“The 4CYTE Canine Sachets are what I reach for when managing working dogs, active breeds, or large dogs that need joint support beyond the single-ingredient gel. The Epiitalis complex drives the cartilage-level benefit, with added green-lipped mussel, marine cartilage, and abalone providing broader anti-inflammatory support in one formula. I recommend the loading dose for the first 28 days to build tissue concentration, then drop to maintenance, because consistency over time is what produces lasting results. For dogs in agility, training, or with a history of orthopaedic injury, that is your sign to start early rather than wait for symptoms to limit their capacity.”

Frequently Asked Questions
4CYTE Canine Granules and 4CYTE Epiitalis Forte Gel both contain Epiitalis® as the core active ingredient, but the granules also include New Zealand green-lipped mussel, marine cartilage, and abalone for additional` joint-specific support. The granules follow a loading and maintenance dose structure, while the gel uses a consistent daily dose. Dogs with sensitivity to marine or seafood ingredients should choose the gel (plant-based only).
The loading dose for 4CYTE Canine Granules is a higher initial daily amount used for the first four weeks, followed by a reduced maintenance dose for ongoing support. The loading dose is designed to build up the active ingredients in the body more quickly, delivering faster results. After four weeks, the maintenance dose is sufficient to sustain joint health benefits long-term.
4CYTE Canine Granules typically show measurable improvement within 7–14 days of daily use at the loading dose, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Results vary depending on the severity and type of joint condition. In a University of Melbourne clinical study, 93.5%[study] of dogs with osteoarthritis showed owner-reported improvement in quality of life within 28 days. If your pet is on other medications, check with your vet before use. The product has no known drug interactions and carries no gastrointestinal or kidney risks associated with long-term use. Always inform your vet of all supplements your dog is receiving.
4CYTE Canine Granules are not suitable for dogs with sensitivity to marine or seafood-based products, as they contain green-lipped mussel, marine cartilage, and abalone. Dogs with confirmed seafood sensitivities should use 4CYTE Epiitalis Forte Gel, which contains only plant-based ingredients and carries no marine-derived components.
4CYTE Canine Granules are formulated specifically for dogs and are not approved for use in cats. Cats have different metabolic requirements and sensitivities, and products formulated for dogs should not be used in cats without veterinary guidance. For cats requiring joint support, 4CYTE has a separate feline formulation : 4CYTE Epiitalis Forte for Cats : which is dosed and formulated appropriately for cats.
