Collections and then some....

Welcome to the Formula 1 Equine Product Collections

Where Whole-Body Wellness Begins.

Every horse tells a story — of strength, struggle, healing, and comeback.
Our product lines were created to meet them at every stage of that journey.

At Formula 1 Equine, we don’t chase fads or formulas that simply mask symptoms.
We build with purpose — blending science, faith, and nature to restore the body’s God-given ability to heal, perform, and thrive.

From gut to hoof, joint to mane, our collections work together to create Dynamic Resilience — the ability for your horse’s body to adapt, rebuild, and excel in any environment.

This page offers a closer look at how that purpose comes to life. You’ll find our core collections — from foundational nutrition to structural, hoof, mane, and digestive support — along with our TheraLine, a series of topical restoratives, salves, and liniments that bring healing full circle through the power of touch.

You’ll also discover our Consultation Program and Custom Creations, designed to meet every horse where they are in their journey, as well as educational deep-dives that define the F1E Standard — from booster protocols and sulfur balance to lysine truth and enterolith prevention.

Everything here reflects the same promise:
To support the story your horse is living — and help them write the comeback they were created for.


Below, you’ll find our collections — and the deeper story of what we’re building, why it matters, and how every formula serves a greater purpose

If these aren't the best products you've ever used, we'll give you your money back — plus $7 for your troubles.


Consultation Program & Custom Creations

No two horses are the same — and that’s where our personalized programs come in. 

Our Consultation Program pairs years of hands-on experience with in-depth nutritional and physiological knowledge to help you identify the root cause behind performance or recovery issues. We create tailored supplement plans and rehabilitation protocols that fit your horse’s individual needs, not an unsafe, one-size-fits-all approach that could inevitably create more harm, than do good, in the long run. 

For more advanced or sensitive cases, our Custom Creations service allows us to formulate individualized blends — balancing specific amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and botanicals for precise outcomes. Whether it’s a post-injury rehab formula, metabolic support blend, or performance-enhancing add-on, your custom product is designed from the same uncompromising standards that define every Formula 1 Equine line.

Your horse’s story is unique — their formula should be too when and if needed.


Formula 1 Equine Booster Protocols

Targeted Elevation. Balanced by Design.

True restoration and rehabilitation doesn’t come from overloading the body — it comes from giving it exactly what it needs, when it needs it.

Our Booster Protocol System was created to safely and intentionally elevate specific ingredients within our DRV Hoof & Mane Rehab and DRV Structural Line (Protect, Comfort, Rebuild) — allowing your horse to receive short-term, situation-specific boosts without the risks of chronic overdosing or ingredient conflict.


What Boosters Are

Boosters are temporary, precision-guided adjustments designed through our Consultation Program and Custom Creations service.
They’re used when a horse faces a distinct challenge such as:

Intense training or hauling stress

Post-injury or post-surgical recovery

Seasonal coat or hoof transitions

Acute inflammation or connective-tissue breakdown

Each booster slightly increases select key nutrients — like L-Lysine, Msm, Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate, Collagen (Hydrolyzed type 2 and 1&3), Biotin, HA, Beta Glucans, or most often, Vitamin E — within proven physiological limits to accelerate repair, immune response, and absorption efficiency.

They are not permanent increases; they’re short-term, strategic nudges that move the body forward while maintaining systemic balance.


Why We Chose This Path

In equine nutrition, more is not always better — and in many cases, it can be harmful.
When certain ingredients are pushed too high for too long, the body can enter a state of metabolic imbalance or nutrient antagonism, where one nutrient begins to block, deplete, or compete with another.

For example:

Over-supplementation AND improper balance of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins can cause digestive irritation, dehydration, or interfere with other absorption pathways (e.g. high zinc suppressing copper) as well as create significant deficiencies of other nutrients.

Excess sulfur or collagen sources may increase oxidative by-products the liver must clear, slowing healing instead of speeding it. Too high of sulfur products for an extended period can and will create sulfur poisoning. It is critical to implement sulfur at safe levels, designed for need so as to not overload the body with excess.

Chronic megadosing of antioxidants like Vitamin E or C can blunt the body’s own adaptive defense systems, creating dependency rather than resilience.

Elevated electrolyte or potassium loads can unbalance magnesium and calcium ratios, affecting neuromuscular function and hydration.

These imbalances don’t always show up overnight — but over time, they can manifest as inconsistent performance, joint stiffness, continual muscle tension, dull coat, odd sensitivities, mood swings or compromised immune health.

That’s why our philosophy is Precision Over Excess.

We believe in micro-targeted synergy, where every nutrient has a defined role and measurable effect. Instead of overwhelming the system, our boosters focus energy and resources toward the area that needs support — allowing the rest of the body to remain stable and responsive.


Safety Through Synergy

Each Formula 1 Equine booster is:

Backed by clinical dosage data and whole-body absorption logic.

Noni-balanced and grounded, ensuring circulatory and digestive support during temporary increases.

Custom-timed, healing looks different for every horse because not every injury is the same. We believe they should call the shots for once. 

Designed through consultation, to match each horse’s body weight, workload, metabolic profile, and records to ensure a well-rounded assessment with product's tailored specifically for need. 

By working with the body instead of against it, our boosters create a controlled elevation that enhances healing and performance — without disrupting mineral ratios, digestive integrity, or immune rhythm.


 

Our Core Belief

We don’t chase “high doses.”
We pursue high function — through balance, intelligence, and respect for how the horse’s body was created to heal.

Our Booster Protocols were built for responsible transformation — supporting the body’s design rather than overriding it.
Because when you build on truth, precision, and partnership, the results speak for themselves — stronger, sounder, longer.


Balanced Science, Honest Cost

One of the most powerful parts of our approach is its efficiency.
Because our formulas are noni-amplified and built on clinically active, synergistic dosages, they deliver results without stacking unnecessary products or over-supplementing.

Most owners using traditional “stacked” regimens can spend $500–$1,500 per month trying to cover the same nutritional ground our system accomplishes safely and completely — often at one-third the cost.
The difference isn’t just in price; it’s in purpose and safety for long term health NOT just immediate effects. Healing isn't a race. It takes time; We promise not to forget that.

We design for absorption, not excess — so your horse receives more benefit with less volume, and your wallet feels it too!


Sulfur Poisoning in Horses

The Silent System-Breaker

What Sulfur Does

Sulfur is vital — it’s part of the amino acids methionine and cysteine, the vitamins thiamine (B₁) and biotin, and the detox molecule glutathione.
At proper levels it builds keratin, collagen, and connective tissue and helps the liver neutralize toxins.

But when intake rises beyond what the liver and gut can clear, sulfur turns from healer to hazard.


What Happens When There’s Too Much

Excess sulfur or sulfate from feed, water, or stacked supplements is converted by gut microbes into hydrogen sulfide gas (H₂S) — a cellular poison.
That gas damages the intestinal lining, interferes with energy production, and sets off a cascade of systemic stress.

1. Digestive and “Leaky Gut” Damage

Hydrogen sulfide erodes the mucosal barrier and kills beneficial microbes.

Tight-junction proteins loosen, allowing undigested proteins, bacteria, and toxins to pass into the bloodstream — the textbook definition of leaky gut.

Once that barrier fails, the immune system is in constant overdrive, feeding inflammation everywhere from joints to skin.

2. Hormonal & Endocrine Fallout

Chronic sulfur overload indirectly disrupts nearly every major hormone axis:

Cortisol (stress hormone): Constant inflammatory load keeps cortisol elevated. Over time the adrenals fatigue, producing swings between over-reactive stress and exhaustion.

Thyroid: Sulfur toxicity can interfere with iodine uptake and liver conversion of T₄ → T₃, slowing metabolism and hair growth.

Insulin: Gut leakage and oxidative stress raise circulating endotoxins, which blunt insulin receptors — setting the stage for insulin resistance and laminitic risk.

Sex hormones: The liver detoxifies estrogen and testosterone through sulfur pathways. When overloaded, these hormones recirculate, leading to unpredictable heats, muscle tension, or stallion-like behavior in mares.

Melatonin: Disturbed gut microbes and chronic cortisol disrupt sleep-wake rhythms, further exhausting recovery cycles.

In short, high sulfur doesn’t just rough up the gut — it hijacks the entire hormonal orchestra.

3. Liver & Detox Overload

The liver must neutralize sulfide compounds through the same pathways that manage drugs, toxins, and excess hormones. When swamped, glutathione stores crash, antioxidants deplete, and free radicals build — fueling chronic inflammation.

As oxidative burden rises, the effects ripple outward — first to the liver, then into the nerves and muscles.

4. Neurological & Muscular Signs

Hydrogen sulfide blocks cellular respiration, so nerves and muscles literally suffocate at the cellular level. Horses may appear dull, uncoordinated, or hypersensitive to touch.

5. Hoof, Hair, and Skin Degeneration

Instead of strong keratin, excess sulfur creates brittle, dry structure by stripping natural moisture and throwing mineral ratios (zinc : copper : manganese) off balance.


Common Sources of Overload

Stacked MSM, methionine, or “joint builder” products.

High-sulfur well or surface water (≥ 2,000 mg/L sulfates = danger zone).

Distillers grains, molasses, or corn by-products rich in residual sulfur.

Multiple supplements built on sulfur donors without cross-checking totals.


Safe Intake Guidelines

Total sulfur in diet: ≤ 0.4 % of total dry matter.

Sulfates in water: < 500 mg/L ideal; > 1,000 mg/L requires testing and possible filtration.

Monitor stacking: Only one sulfur-donor product at a time unless professionally formulated.


Prevention & Support

Balance sulfur donors (MSM, methionine) with L-lysine, zinc, and copper to maintain proper bonding ratios.

Provide clean water, adequate salt/electrolytes, and liver-supporting botanicals such as noni, milk thistle, or dandelion.

Use Beta Glucans and HA to calm gut inflammation and rebuild the mucosal barrier.

Periodically test well water and review total sulfur inputs if horses show unexplained GI or metabolic issues.


The Formula 1 Equine Approach

Every F1E formula is designed around safe sulfur synergy — enough to build, never enough to burden.

We pair methionine and MSM with lysine, noni, and trace minerals for balanced protein formation.

Our noni base supports liver detox and circulation so sulfur is used, not stored.

Booster protocols elevate sulfur-based nutrients only under consultation and only short-term, preventing cumulative overload.


The Takeaway

Sulfur builds life when balanced — and breaks it when ignored.
Long before symptoms appear in the hoof, it can quietly dismantle the gut, the hormones, and the very resilience you’re trying to create.

Respect the ratios. Feed with purpose. Build, don’t burn.


Good Sulfur vs. Toxic Sulfur

Understanding the Line Between Healing and Harm

Sulfur is neither friend nor foe — it’s a tool.
Used wisely, it builds strength. Used recklessly, it breaks it down.


Good Sulfur: The Builder

Found in:

Glucosamine Sulfate

Chondroitin Sulfate

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

Organic amino acids like Methionine and Cysteine

Purpose:

Strengthens cartilage, collagen, and keratin

Maintains joint cushioning and connective tissue elasticity

Supports detoxification and antioxidant defense

Keeps the body’s structural “glue” hydrated and resilient

How it works safely:
These forms are bioavailable and buffered — they release usable sulfur in controlled amounts, then exit the system cleanly through natural metabolic pathways.
In synergy with lysine, copper, manganese, vitamin C, and noni, the body uses this sulfur as a building block, not a toxin.


Toxic Sulfur: The Breaker

Found in:

Overlapping or stacked products containing multiple sulfur donors

High-sulfur water or feed ingredients (molasses, distillers grains, etc.)

Cheap or unstable chemical forms (non-buffered sulfates, sulfides)

Risks:

Gut irritation and leaky gut

Microbial die-off leading to hydrogen sulfide gas formation

Liver overload and glutathione depletion

Interference with mineral absorption (especially zinc, copper, and selenium)

Hormonal dysregulation and metabolic instability over time


Where Good Turns to Bad

Even beneficial sulfur sources can overlap into toxicity if:

Multiple joint or hoof supplements are stacked without adjusting for cumulative sulfur load

Booster-style products with high loading dose phases are used without professional oversight

The horse is already exposed to high-sulfur water or feed

Liver or gut function is compromised, reducing clearance

When that happens, “good sulfur” stops being used for building tissue and instead begins to accumulate, converting to reactive byproducts that damage the very systems they were meant to help.

That’s why we monitor dose, duration, and pairing — ensuring that every molecule of sulfur has a purpose, a pathway, and a partner.


The Formula 1 Equine Standard

We design every formula around controlled sulfur synergy:

Sulfate-based nutrients are balanced with amino acids, minerals, and antioxidants to ensure no deficiency arises. 

Noni and Beta Glucans keep circulation, detox, and absorption steady.

Consultation-guided boosters allow temporary elevation only when the body is ready to and needs use it.

Sulfur in harmony heals.
Sulfur in chaos harms.
At Formula 1 Equine, we make sure it never crosses that line.


Safety in Synergy

Where Wisdom Meets Science.

From the earliest days of horsemanship, the best healers didn’t chase ingredients — they read and listened to the horse and treated accordingly. They understood that nature never works in isolation: every herb, mineral, and molecule has a purpose, a partner, and a limit.

At Formula 1 Equine, that same wisdom guides every decision we make.
We blend modern research with ancestral understanding, biochemistry with faith, and experience with precision — creating supplements that honor both the horse’s body and its Creator’s design.


The Method of Balance

Our formulas aren’t built on high numbers; they’re built on harmony.
Each nutrient is chosen for its role within the whole — not for what it can do alone.

Amino Acids form the framework.
Trace Minerals tune the system.
Vitamins ignite the processes.
Noni, Beta Glucans, and HA keep every pathway open and grounded.

And where joint and structural repair are concerned, we choose sulfate forms
Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate, and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) — for a reason.
The sulfate molecule provides the body with the natural sulfur donor it needs to build flexible cartilage, strong collagen, and hydrated connective tissue.
In these balanced, bioavailable forms, sulfur serves the system rather than stressing it.

The Bridge of Understanding
Not all sulfur is equal. There’s a world of difference between the controlled, organic sulfur that the body uses for repair and the excess or inorganic sulfur compounds that build up through over-supplementation or poor water quality.
Our sulfate forms are stabilized, buffered, and grounded within the formula — working in harmony with lysine, copper, and noni to keep utilization clean and efficient.
It’s not the presence of sulfur that’s unsafe — it’s the imbalance.

By allowing these components to interact in correct proportion, we achieve more power with less stress on the body.
That’s the essence of Safety in Synergy — creating strength through cooperation, not competition.


Experience Over Experiment

We’ve seen what happens when formulas are built from theory alone.
The old ways — observing, testing, adjusting, listening — taught us that no two horses react the same, and that even the purest ingredient can become dangerous when removed from context.

Every blend we make carries the fingerprints of decades of real-world experience: the horses that healed faster, the ones that taught patience, the ones that showed us that healing happens in relationship, not in reaction.


Knowledge Without Ego

Science tells us how the body works; wisdom reminds us why it works that way.
Our responsibility is to meet those two truths in the middle — to use what we know, but never forget what we’ve learned by feel, by faith, and by failure.
That humility is what keeps innovation safe, effective, and alive.


Synergy as Safeguard

When ingredients are balanced, they naturally regulate one another.

Too much sulfur? Lysine, copper, and noni buffer it.

Oxidative stress? Beta Glucans ground it.

Inflammation? HA, magnesium, and vitamin E cool the flame.

This is the living equation behind every Formula 1 Equine product: nothing works in isolation, and nothing is left unchecked.
That’s why our horses can heal faster — not because we push harder, but because we listen closer.


A Living Legacy

Safety in Synergy isn’t just a method — it’s a promise.
To the horses, to the owners who trust us, and to the wisdom handed down through generations of caretakers who believed that wholeness isn’t manufactured, it’s restored.


The Critical Truth About Lysine

Why It’s the Cornerstone of Equine Health — and Why Almost Every Horse Is Deficient


What Lysine Is

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid — meaning the horse cannot make it internally and must receive it through diet or supplementation.
It’s the first-limiting amino acid in the equine body. That means if Lysine is low, all protein synthesis slows or stops, no matter how much of the other amino acids are present.

It’s the ignition key for growth, tissue repair, and structural resilience. Without it, the horse can’t properly build or maintain muscle, bone, connective tissue, hoof, hair, or even immune cells.


Why Lysine Deficiency Is So Common

Modern feeding practices unintentionally create chronic Lysine deficiency in nearly every performance and pleasure horse:

Forage Decline

Lysine is highest in lush, immature legumes.

As hay cures or ages, lysine oxidizes and degrades — often dropping by 40–70 % within weeks.

Grass hays (Bermuda, Timothy, Orchard, Coastal) are naturally Lysine-poor compared to alfalfa.

Cereal-Based Feeds

Oats, corn, and barley are low in Lysine but high in non-structural carbohydrates.

Commercial grain mixes rarely compensate adequately — most average only 0.5–0.8 % Lysine, far below what’s needed for tissue turnover.

Increased Demand

Growth, training, injury repair, pregnancy, and stress all double or triple Lysine requirements.

Even “adequate” feed levels fail under metabolic load.

Soil and Crop Depletion

Modern fertilizers favor yield over amino acid density. Forage may look green but contain fewer essential aminos.


What Happens When Lysine Is Low

Lysine deficiency is rarely obvious at first — it shows up as a slow unraveling of systems:

System Deficiency Signs
Muscle Poor topline, weak recovery, loss of tone
Joints / Ligaments Slow healing, stiffness, recurring soreness
Hoof / Hair Brittle walls, dull coat, weak tail and mane
Immune Prone to viral outbreaks, allergies, poor vaccine response
Hormonal / Metabolic Fatigue, erratic appetite, difficulty maintaining weight
Growth / Development Stunted muscling in foals and young horses

Inside the body, low Lysine means collagen can’t form correctly — leaving connective tissue fragile and repair incomplete.
The body simply can’t “close the loop” on healing.


Why High Levels Matter

Research and field results show that the horse’s minimal requirement (≈10 – 15 g/day for a 1,100-lb horse) only prevents disease — it does not support performance, repair, or resilience.

Maintenance: ~10 – 15 g/day

Moderate Work: 20 – 25 g/day

Rehab / High Performance: 28 – 35 g/day

Those are the ranges we use in the Formula 1 Equine lines — intentionally clinical levels, not token inclusions.

High-dose Lysine works because it:

Drives Collagen Synthesis

Lysine forms the cross-link bridges that give collagen strength.

Works directly with Vitamin C, copper, and manganese in cartilage and bone formation.

Regulates Calcium Absorption

Enhances uptake from the small intestine and directs calcium into bone and connective tissue — not soft tissue or most often left to reside in the gut. Without activating calcium and pushing it to where it needs to go, often the result is Enteroliths - "The Green Stones".

Improves Nitrogen Efficiency

Ensures every gram of dietary protein is actually usable, reducing feed waste and metabolic byproducts.

Supports Hormonal Balance

Adequate Lysine lowers cortisol output under stress, helps maintain thyroid conversion, and stabilizes insulin signaling.

Amplifies Immunity

Viral replication requires Lysine’s counterpart, Arginine. By keeping Lysine high, the horse naturally suppresses viral activity (like EHV flare-ups).

Enhances Absorption of Other Nutrients

Works synergistically with noni, magnesium, and HA to improve intestinal transport and cellular uptake of vitamins and minerals.


The Misconception of “Enough”

Most feeds advertise “balanced amino acids,” but when you break the math down, the daily serving often delivers less than 5 g of usable Lysine most of the time — barely half the minimum maintenance need!
That’s why so many horses' plateau: they’re being “fed well” but not “built well.”

You can’t build a house when the bricks are missing — no matter how fancy the blueprint.


Why Formula 1 Equine Prioritizes Lysine

Every line we design starts with a Lysine foundation, usually 15 - 28 g per day baseline and up to 35 g in Rehab tiers with possible boosters- when needed for higher rehabilitation needs.
From there, we build outward with the nutrients that depend on it: Methionine, Threonine, Collagen, HA, Noni, and Beta Glucans.

This strategy ensures that every downstream ingredient has the amino acid support to actually work — no bottlenecks, no waste, no stress on the system.

In short: Lysine is the switch that turns the entire formula on.


The Safety Factor

Lysine is remarkably safe even at higher functional doses.
Excess is excreted harmlessly in urine when balanced with adequate water, magnesium, and trace minerals.
Toxicity is virtually unheard of in horses and requires a beyond clinical dosage of over 10 ounces (28g= 1oz). We're able to safely elevate L-Lysine without risk and can safely supply high levels on top of any feed program — the only “risk” is not feeding enough.


The Bigger Picture

When you correct Lysine deficiency, everything begins to align:
Muscle tone returns, joints stay fluid, coats glow, minds settle, and digestion steadies.
It’s not a stimulant; it’s permission for the body to do what it was created to do.

Lysine is not just an ingredient —
it’s the language of structure, stability, and restoration- SAFE.


The Formula 1 Equine Standard

Foundation & Digestive Lines: Maintain systemic balance and nutrient absorption.

DRV Structural & Hoof Lines: Supply 15 – 35 g Lysine for rebuild and resilience.

Booster Protocols: Allow temporary elevation for targeted recovery, always within safe synergy levels.

Every formula honors the same truth:
Healing begins when the body has enough Lysine to finish the work it starts.


Enteroliths: The “Green Stones” That Form in the Horse’s Gut

What They Are

Enteroliths are mineral concretions (stones) that form in the horse’s large intestine — most commonly in the right dorsal colon.
They’re made primarily of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) and sometimes layered with other minerals like calcium carbonate or sulfates.
When cut open, they often appear smooth, round, and greenish-gray, sometimes with concentric rings — a bit like a geode.


How They Form

It all begins when a small object — a pebble, bit of twine, seed, or even a piece of hay stem — becomes a “nidus,” or seed point inside the colon.

Over time, minerals precipitate from the intestinal contents and layer around that core.

In alkaline conditions (high pH gut environment), those minerals crystallize as struvite — forming hard, spherical stones.

The process can take months to years.
Some horses will form a few small ones; others develop multiple large stones (occasionally over 5–10 lb. each).


Why They’re Dangerous

Enteroliths can:

Obstruct the colon — leading to severe, sometimes surgical colic.

Cause recurrent mild colic episodes before a full blockage develops.

Lead to chronic gas, discomfort, or intermittent pain.


What Contributes to Enterolith Formation

Risk Factor Effect
Alkaline colonic pH Favors mineral precipitation (common with high-lucerne/alfalfa diets).
High Magnesium & Phosphorus intake From mineral-rich water, feeds, or supplements.
Excess dietary calcium or low roughage turnover Slows gut motility, allows buildup.
Low exercise or hydration Reduces intestinal flow, allowing stones to grow.
High sulfate or carbonate water Adds building blocks for stone layering.

Typical Presentation

Chronic, mild gas colic that seems to resolve on its own.

Sudden severe colic if a large stone lodges in the colon.

Diagnosis is usually confirmed via radiographs (X-rays).


Prevention & Management

Avoid extremely high-alfalfa diets. Alfalfa is alkaline and high in magnesium & protein, which increases risk.

Encourage consistent forage flow. Grass hay or mixed diets help keep things moving.

Provide free-choice salt and ample water to promote hydration and natural flushing.

Avoid over supplementing magnesium or sulfur-based products unless guided by a nutritionist or veterinarian.

Feed apple cider vinegar or similar acidifiers (under guidance) — some vets recommend this to help acidify the colon environment.


Formula 1 Equine’s Relevance

This is one of the key reasons our Safety in Synergy philosophy matters.
When formulations use balanced mineral ratios and avoid extreme alkalinity, enterolith risk drops dramatically.
Our use of noni (naturally acidic and circulatory) and correct trace mineral ratios supports a healthy gut pH and mineral metabolism — helping prevent the stagnation and precipitation that cause these stones in the first place.


We believe every horse was created with a divine design — built to heal, built to overcome, and built to thrive.
Our calling is to honor that design through balance, truth, and faith — crafting each formula with intention, blending the wisdom of nature with the precision of science to restore what was lost and strengthen what remains.

From foundation to performance, from the inside out, every product and program we create is built with purpose.
Our mission is to combine evidence-based nutrition, faith-driven principles, and hands-on experience to deliver results that last — helping every horse reach the fullness of their God-given potential.

Because every horse tells a story — of struggle, of healing, of strength, and of comeback.
And every formula we build is written to support it.

From weakness to strength, from trial to triumph, we’re honored to walk beside you on that journey.
Together, we build Dynamic Resilience — one story, one horse, one miracle at a time.

Strong. Balanced. Resilient. That’s the Formula 1 Equine way.
