Morinda Hindend Support combines nine herbs that together tonify Kidney Qi and Yin, warm Yang, nourish Blood, and direct the formula's action to the lower back and hindlimbs:
Herbsmith Rx Morinda Hindend Support contains Yang-warming, Qi-tonifying, and Blood-moving herbs including Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twig), Dang Gui Tou (Angelica root), and Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula root), which may interact with certain medications. Horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in horses remains limited. Not for use in pregnant mares.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (Dang Gui and Chuan Niu Xi have Blood-moving properties that may have additive effects), corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs, medications for musculoskeletal conditions, and horses managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Wei syndrome in TCVM describes the chronic, progressive development of hindlimb weakness resulting from Kidney Yin and Qi depletion. It typically presents as gradual loss of hindlimb strength, coordination, and muscle mass, often worsening with age, overwork, or prolonged stress. Morinda Hindend Support is most commonly recommended for older horses or horses with long-standing hindlimb weakness patterns consistent with Kidney deficiency. A TCVM-trained veterinarian can confirm whether your horse's pattern is appropriate for this formula before authorization.
For the traditional powder, administer two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then two tablespoons once daily. For the Flax Plus format, administer one scoop (six-tablespoon scoop included) twice daily for the first 20 days, then one scoop daily. Mix into grain for easy administration. If the horse is reluctant to eat herbs, begin with small amounts in grain and gradually increase, or choose the Flax Plus version. Confirm dosing for horses of other weights with your authorizing veterinarian.
Because Wei syndrome is a chronic, progressive deficiency pattern, response to herbal support is gradual. Most horse owners begin to notice improvements in hindlimb strength, stability, and overall vitality within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use, with continued improvement over longer treatment courses. Given the chronic nature of the condition, long-term use is often appropriate and may be necessary to maintain and build on improvements. Your authorizing veterinarian will guide the appropriate duration based on your horse's response and pattern.
Yes. The Flax Plus format combines the herbal formula with ground flaxseed, adding Omega-3 support for joints, coat, and cardiovascular health alongside the hindlimb-strengthening benefits in a single daily feeding. When combining with other supplements or prescription medications, always consult your authorizing veterinarian to confirm compatibility with your horse's full health protocol. This formula is not for use in pregnant mares.
