Charlie’s health and well-being have always been my top priority, so I’ve incorporated single supplements like into his daily routine. These supplements have been crucial for maintaining his energy levels, mitochondrial health, and overall vitality. This is the inception of K9 Alpha Science and MitoBalance supplement and test strips. After everything we've been through together, I owe it to him to provide the best care possible. As someone who has dedicated a large part of my career to research, I know how critical it is to base decisions on evidence, and I’ve seen the remarkable difference these supplements have made in Charlie's health. Whether it's maintaining his energy levels or supporting his muscle recovery after a long day of service, the benefits are clear. And yes, I take the human version of these supplements myself. Just as they keep Charlie performing at his best, I’ve found them essential for maintaining my own health, energy, and focus. Charlie and I are in this together, and staying healthy means we both can keep doing what we do best. Charlie is not just a service animal; he’s my lifeline. I rely on him every day, just like he relies on me to make the right health decisions for him. And for that, I’m incredibly grateful." - Rod Wayne
