✨ "Our new ex-racer was totally shut down, and after speaking with EquiNatural we were invited to trial the Adrenavive following a stress programme. It’s like his spark came back. We're definitely keeping him on it for now." Jodie W.
Overview
When a horse has been living in a long-term chronic stress state - mentally, emotionally, or physically - it’s not enough to simply remove the stressor.
Why adrenal recovery matters
In human health studies, it's well understood that after someone has experienced deep trauma, chronic anxiety, or sustained stress, they remain susceptible to future imbalance.
The same applies to horses: the nervous system can remain on high alert, adrenal function depleted, and behaviour dulled or unpredictable. In human care, we lean on calming protocols - both conventional and herbal - to rebalance the gut-brain pathway.
For horses? That’s where AdrenaVIVE comes in. Designed as a follow-on formula to StressTonic or OptimaCARE, AdrenaVIVE supports the adrenal glands and central nervous system during the crucial recovery phase. While StressTonic helps calm the storm by interrupting the fight-flight cascade and 'normalising' the stress response, AdrenaVIVE works in the quieter aftermath - helping your horse rebuild emotional balance, resilience, and focus.
Whether your horse has come through trauma, illness, burnout, or a demanding rehab period, AdrenaVIVE offers long-term calm from the inside out. It’s especially valuable post-reset, where the body has been systemically supported, but adrenal health still needs time to recalibrate.
Think of it as nervous system nourishment - helping your horse shift from survival to thrive mode.
Notable key benefits
- Nourishes and stabilises the nervous system.
- Improves stress tolerance and recovery.
- Supports adrenal and mitochondrial energy without “push”.
- Enhances focus and clarity while maintaining emotional calm.
- Replenishes minerals and antioxidants depleted by chronic stress.
Is AdrenaVIVE Right for My Horse?
Functional Fit - where AdrenaVIVE belongs in your horse’s stress recovery
AdrenaVIVE is designed for the post-stress recovery phase.
It supports the adrenal and nervous systems after the intensity has passed, helping your horse move from survival mode back into steadier, more grounded emotional balance.
It’s the right choice when your horse needs gentle, ongoing nourishment to rebuild resilience, clarity, and calm after completing StressTonic, OptimaCARE, or any deep stress–gut support.
→ AdrenaVIVE is:
- for horses emerging from chronic stress, trauma, illness, or shutdown
- for rebuilding adrenal tone after sustained pressure or anxiety
- for restoring emotional engagement and energy once the acute stress phase has settled
- for horses recovering from rehab, illness, winter depletion, yard moves, or herd changes
→ AdrenaVIVE is not:
- a fast-acting calming blend (use CalmTonic )
- a formula for active, ongoing stress cycles (use StressTonic )
- a crisis-management supplement
- appropriate alongside steroid medications without guidance (Liquorice Root consideration)
Those roles belong to the blends used before or alongside AdrenaVIVE.
Which blend - AdrenaVIVE, StressTonic, CalmTonic
Each blend supports a different point on the stress timeline:

For horses coming out of stress who need rebuilding, resilience, and deeper replenishment.
→ StressTonic
– Regulates the active stress response | Calms tension | Supports the overworked nervous system

Contraindications & Cautions
- Not suitable for pregnant or nursing mares, due to hormonally active herbs.
- Avoid use alongside steroid medications (e.g. dexamethasone, prednisolone, inhalers) - Glycyrrhiza may potentiate steroid action.
