SmartPaker (Tanner) Supplement Review: 4CTYE™ Epiitalis® Forte Horse Gel

My horse, Ajhar, aka AJ, is a 7-year-old OTTB who had a pretty successful racing career as a three-year-old! I adopted AJ three years ago and one of my top priorities was supporting his joints to ensure he can maintain a long-ridden career with me. We are currently showing in the hunter ring, and AJ is worked five days a week.

When looking for joint support, I knew I wanted to use a supplement that was backed by clinical research to ensure that I was getting the best bang for my buck! I also know that liquid supplements tend to be more bioavailable. When I heard about 4CYTE™ Epiitalis® Forte Horse Gel, I knew I had to give it a try! 4CYTE™ Epiitalis® Forte was formulated to help maintain the overall health of joint and connective tissues and is backed by clinical research. Epiitalis is derived from a naturally sourced plant seed oil extract, Biota Orientalis (BO), and is high in unique fatty acids. This patented formula was designed to support normal joint function, mobility, and flexibility, and helps maintain a normal inflammatory response.

This clinical research study suggests that there is a “significant anti-inflammatory effect from oral supplementation of BO”. The full study can be reviewed here.

AJ has been receiving this supplement for a couple of months now and truly seems to be freer when starting our rides. His recovery after horse shows or hard jumping sessions has also improved! Best of all, AJ has seemed very comfortable and has not experienced any joint soreness, even when moving up in jumping height over the last couple of months!

4CYTE™ Epiitalis® Forte Horse Gel is sold in a 250ml or 1000ml pouch. Each pouch comes with a resealable cap and a syringe. You simply massage the pouch, twist off the cap, insert the syringe, and draw up the exact dose for your horse. This gel is apple flavored and AJ did not mind the taste at all! I started by administering the gel to him orally, and then transitioned to simply squirting it onto his morning grain when I realized he was not fussy about the taste! This supplement can be given during or after mealtime and can be fed just once daily.

4CYTE™ Epiitalis® Forte has been a game changer for me and AJ and I am glad I found a product that helps me protect AJ’s joints! After all, my ‘mane’ focus is keeping him happy and healthy. <3
