I’m Nathan Anthony I’m an equine veterinarian with West vets equine hospital and I’m also a team vet with Equestrian Australia for our Equestrian Team. I recommend 4CYTE for our horse’s joint health I think it’s a great product. I see results. I think that as a preventative measure it has real merit. I also recommend 4CYTE for all horses that have had joint surgery arthroscopy with us because I think it helps with faster recovery and better healing and it makes sense in my mind to have something on board every day. There’s inevitable wear and tear that occurs within horse joints by virtue of the work that we do it’s no different to us as we get older we can develop degenerative disease in our joints and our horses are exactly the same.
