Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Rehmannia Tonify Yin is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that tonifies Kidney and Liver Yin to support Yin-Yang balance in the equine athlete. When horses are pushed through active show schedules, competition, or sustained training demands, Yin becomes gradually depleted, manifesting as generalized weakness, especially in the lower back and limbs. This formula replenishes Yin, restoring the foundation that sustains athletic performance and overall health. Available in traditional powder (500g, 900g, 1200g) and Flax Plus (30-day and 60-day supply); the Flax Plus format includes a six-tablespoon scoop. Dosing varies by body weight and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Suitable for long-term use.

Rehmannia Tonify Yin is based on the classical Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six Ingredient Rehmannia Pill), one of the most celebrated Yin-tonifying formulas in Chinese medicine, structured around three tonifying herbs and three draining herbs for balanced, sustained Yin replenishment:
Herbsmith Rx Rehmannia Tonify Yin contains Yin-tonifying, Blood-nourishing, and Heat-clearing herbs that 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.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (Shu Di Huang and Mu Dan Pi have Blood-moving properties that may have additive effects), diuretics or medications affecting fluid and electrolyte balance (Ze Xie has mild diuretic properties), immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids, and horses managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Rehmannia Tonify Yin is most commonly recommended for performance and competition horses showing TCVM signs of Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency: generalized weakness, especially in the lower back and limbs; fatigue that develops over an active show season; internal heat signs; or difficulty maintaining vitality across sustained athletic demands. It is an excellent long-term support formula for horses whose Yang-dominant athletic lifestyle gradually depletes their Yin foundation.
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 the 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.
Yin tonification is a gradual process; most horse owners begin to notice meaningful improvements in vitality, hind limb strength, and overall resilience within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. Unlike warming or stimulating formulas, Rehmannia Tonify Yin is suitable for long-term use and can be taken continuously as part of an athletic horse's ongoing health maintenance protocol. It is also an excellent follow-on formula after completing a course of Herbsmith Codonopsis Support Energy.
Yes. Herbsmith specifically recommends Rehmannia Tonify Yin as a follow-on formula after Herbsmith Codonopsis Support Energy to sustain and prolong the energy gains achieved. The Flax Plus format combines the herbal formula with ground flaxseed, adding Omega-3 support for joints, coat, and cardiovascular health 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.
