Resilience Starts From the Inside: Immune Support for EHV Season
Before we talk about EHV, let’s talk strategy — because this moment calls for proactive thinking, not reactive fear.
From an offensive-coordinator standpoint, the goal right now is simple:
Use the tools we already have to strengthen horses TODAY, while building the next level of targeted support for TOMORROW.
Formula 1 Equine already provides powerful internal support during periods of viral stress — support that horse owners can use immediately. And behind the scenes, our team and our new development partner are actively creating a specialized formula designed specifically for EHV-season support and long-term immune stability. More details will be released as that product moves through testing and development.
But here is the key message:
You are not waiting helplessly for the “next thing.”
You already have effective tools on hand — and more are being built.
Now, let’s talk about the current situation.
With new EHV cases being reported and events cancelled across the U.S. — especially in the barrel horse industry — it’s easy for owners to feel anxious. But this is NOT a time for fear.
This is a time for strength, clarity, and proactive preparation.
If there’s one thing we know, it’s this:
Resilience starts from the inside out.
And that’s exactly where Formula 1 Equine shines.
While biosecurity will always be step #1, supporting your horse’s internal defense system is just as important — especially during viral season.
How Formula 1 Equine’s Current Products Support Horses During Viral Stress
LYSINE — The Foundation of Immune Stability
Most modern horses are lysine-deficient, especially under stress, hauling, weather shifts, or exposure.
During viral seasons, lysine supports:
Healthy mucosal tissue — your horse’s first line of defense
Stronger immune cell performance
Repair and recovery
Balanced arginine pathways (important because herpes-family viruses rely on arginine to replicate)
More lysine = more stability and less vulnerability.
NONI — Controlled Inflammation & Cellular Calm
Noni helps regulate nitric oxide and inflammation — two processes that spike during viral stress.
Horses need:
Enough inflammation to fight
Not so much that tissues are damaged
Noni keeps the immune response strong, balanced, and calm.
BETA GLUCANS — Faster Immune Recognition
Beta glucans support healthy macrophage activation — the “first responders” of the immune system.
They help the body:
Identify viral particles faster
Organize the response sooner
Strengthen mucosal and respiratory defense
In viral season, timing is everything — and beta glucans give the body exactly that advantage.
ANTIOXIDANTS & MINERALS — The Defensive Backbone
Formula 1 Equine products already include essential nutrients that support immune and tissue health:
Vitamins C & E for respiratory and cellular resilience
Zinc & copper for immune stability
Magnesium for stress balance
Hyaluronic acid for mucosal support & tissue comfort
These nutrients help your horse stay steady, supported, and responsive through hauling, weather shifts, and environmental pressure.
The Message We Choose: Strength, Not Fear
There’s already enough panic online.
Formula 1 Equine is choosing something different:
Confidence. Preparation. Resilience.
Your horse’s immune system is not fragile — it is powerful.
Our job is to support it daily so it can do what it was built to do.
Now is the time to focus on strength, not fear.
And Formula 1 Equine has you covered — from the inside out.
