April 24, 2026 (Dublin, Ohio) – epiq Animal Health, a value-added distributor and solutions provider, and Interpath Global, launched an innovative approach to joint health by releasing a nutraceutical (4CYTE™, Epiitalis® Forte) for horses at AAEP in 2024 and dogs in April of 2025.
Previously only available abroad, 4CYTE™ is made with a world-exclusive, patented ingredient—Epiitalis®, which is scientifically proven to enhance joint health in dogs and horses. Epiitalis® is natural, sustainably sourced, and derived from plant seed oil high in unique fatty acids. It is easily digestible and readily absorbed into the body. Since 2008, 4CYTE™ and Epiitalis® have undergone rigorous assessments to test their safety and efficacy in the laboratory, in vivo, and in clinical trials across multiple species including, dogs, horses, and humans. Many of these studies have been peer-reviewed and published in leading international journals.
CEO, Interpath Global, Rebecca Britton stated, “We’re incredibly proud of the progress 4CYTE™, a revolutionary advanced health supplement scientifically proven to enhance joint health function in horses and dogs, has made in the US market over the past year. What has been particularly outstanding is the performance of our equine range, which has seen strong adoption and continues to deliver exceptional outcomes in joint health and function. The feedback from horse and dog owners around the world, and most importantly the exceptional clinical outcomes for the animals themselves, are second to none.”
The companies have worked together for supply chain solutions while also educating and training animal health communities in the United States. The partnership benefits veterinarians, giving them access through distributors to a product that is unlike any other nutraceutical. It also benefits consumers by having it available through multiple e-commerce channels. In a saturated joint health market, 4CYTE™ stands out with their ingredients, research, palatability, disease-modifying properties, and overall results. Watch their documentary here.
