✨ "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.
📌 Fussy Eater?
Horses sometimes have their own opinions (and strong tastebuds!), so now and then a new blend might need a little extra encouragement. This doesn’t reflect the quality or efficacy of the product, but rather their natural instinct towards new flavours.

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.
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 mode to thrive mode.
Is AdrenaVIVE Right for My Horse?
🌿 Ideal for horses who...
- Have recently completed a course of StressTonic , OptimaCARE , or OptimaPLUS .
- Are emerging from chronic stress, trauma, or emotional shut-down.
- Seem flat, withdrawn, or emotionally ‘checked out’, even after the original stressor has passed.
- Are convalescing post-rehab, injury, or long-term illness where nervous and endocrine systems were under strain.
- Need gentle adrenal nourishment after intensive stress recovery work.
- Are transitioning from fight-flight into rest-repair, and need support for emotional steadiness, clarity, and resilience.
- Show signs of low spark, lingering fatigue, dull behaviour, or low emotional engagement.
⚠️ Not suitable for horses who...
- Are currently in the acute phase of stress (start with StressTonic first)
- Are pregnant or nursing mares (due to potential hormone-modulating herbs)
- Are on corticosteroid medications such as prednisolone, dexamethasone, or steroid-based inhalers (due to Liquorice Root’s potentiating effect – see Safety section below).
- Are already on another calming or adrenal blend(unless guided by your vet or practitioner).
- Need fast-acting calm for acute triggers (fireworks, loading stress, etc.) - see CalmTonic instead.
