Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my horses be on these formulas?

The cleanse formulas are only intended to be used for 90 days, and are recommended as needed after. The rest of the formulas can be used long term or as needed.

Can we feed with other supplements or medications?

We recommend that you consult with your veterinarian to decide if medications are safe while feeding ActivateQi products.

Are these formulas safe for pregnant mares?

We do not make specific claims regarding safety for broodmares as every mare is unique and recommend discussing with your veterinarian before adding any new supplements into your mare's diet. Our ingredients are available on each product page. 

Foals can have our formulas, adjust the dosage per weight. Each formula is for your average 1000lb horse.

Will this work with the feed that I currently use?

You can see results with the feed you are currently feeding. We do recommend a clean diet if possible.

1. Mix with water and give orally using a syringe to administer the formulas.

2. Top dress feed and mix well. Use a small amount of water on the feed to get formulas to stick.

Does the Knockout product replace worming?

Our Knockout formula was created to aid in removing a wide variety of parasites, worms and eggs naturally. It also cleanses the Liver, Kidneys, and colon where they like to hide dormant. Knockout aids in removing parasite eggs, flatworms, tapeworms, bloodworms/large strongyles, pinworms, hookworms, flukes, roundworms. We recommend using for 90 days for the full effect.

How long to notice results?

You should start seeing changes 2-3 weeks in but results can take 30-90 days depending on the severity of symptoms your horse has associated with what product you are feeding. Billions of cells are being replaced daily in your horse. About 1% of their body every day. It takes around 80-100 days to rebuild a new system. Horses are made up of about 400 trillion cells.

Best ways to administer formulas?

Top dress with alfalfa or timothy pellets and mix well. Use a small amount of water on the feed to get formulas to stick or can mix in warm water in a 60cc syringe and give. Do not use cold water.

If your horse has not had raw herbal formulas before we recommend starting with a lower dosage and slowly increasing your dosage to give your horse time to acquire a taste.

Are there any side effects associated with these formulas?

Horses all handle products differently. During the cleanse formulas your horse could experience hertxheimer reactions. Herxheimer reactions are when you feel sick or generally bad as your body removes toxins and/or pathogens. Rashes to the skin can be a common side effect as the toxins are leaving the body through the skin. To prevent this we have the doses start out small, and gradually increase. Our cleanse formulas also contain ingredients that help boost the immune system, and help fight fatigue during the cleansing process. Always provide access to fresh clean water. These formulas provide many nutrient dense herbs that are great for your horses health and what they may be lacking.

Where are your ingredients sourced?

Our supplier evaluates their farmers with a chemical analysis of the ground soils, and tests all herbs for heavy metals, pesticide residues, aflatoxin, and sulfur dioxide in compliance with FDA, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), and EU standards. Our supplier provides ongoing analysis and is reviewed and certified by international leading and testing laboratories.

What diet should my horse, dog, and myself be on when using ActivateQi?

TCM works best when the diet supports the digestive system instead of fighting it.

For horses: An anti-inflammatory diet of quality, tested hay, alfalfa/grass pellets for grain time to supplement ground flax, any supplements, and a loose mineral. No grain, no processed feeds.

For dogs: A prey-model raw diet focused on muscle meat, bones, and organs. Rotate proteins regularly, at least 3 to 4 per month.

For humans: An anti-inflammatory, whole-food diet with quality protein, healthy fats, and easy-to-digest meals. Avoiding cold drinks or raw vegetables that weaken digestion.

Can I give more than one formula at the same time?

Yes. We do not recommend more than 3 formulas at a time due to healing in stages and not putting the body through too much change at one time. We do not recommend Remove heavy metals cleanse at the same time as our Knockout parasite cleanse.

What form are our formulas in and are they palatable?

These products contain 100% powdered raw herbs, with no added sweeteners, fillers or by-products. Our formulas are never prepared using heat or binders. If your horse has not had raw herbal formulas before we recommend starting with a lower dosage and slowly increasing your dosage to give your horse time to acquire a taste.

How long does it take to see results?

Results may vary depending on diet or any other underlying root causes that may be involved including heavy metals or parasites. The severity of the organ imbalance, and how long will also vary. Results for improvement are typically noticed within days or a few weeks.

My horse is experiencing die off reactions during a cleanse. What can I do? 

Cleansing is beneficial, but it’s important to understand that some horses may experience temporary Herxheimer or die-off reactions. As heavy metals, bacteria, or parasites break down and die, they release toxins that move into the tissues and lymphatic system, relying on the detox organs to eliminate them. If these pathways are blocked by Heat, Dampness, or stagnation the body may struggle to clear toxins quickly, leading to temporary symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, loose stools, reduced appetite, respiratory changes, abscesses, or skin reactions like itching or small sores. These reactions mean the body is detoxifying faster than it can eliminate. How your horse handles a cleanse depends on toxin load, organ strength, cellular energy, and how open their exit pathways are.

If die-off symptoms appear, you may lower the dosage for a few days and gradually return to the full dose, or add Redemption for extra GI support.

Are your formulas legal for competition?

Each discipline, association, and event has its own rules and regulations regarding supplements and herbal ingredients. All ingredients are listed on each product page so you can review them and make the best decision for your specific competition requirements.

Will this work with the feed that I currently use?

You can see results with the feed you are currently feeding but we do recommend an anti-inflammatory diet, as diet plays a large role in many health issues and organ imbalances.

Do you offer consultations if I'm not sure what my horse needs?

Yes! Please contact us via messenger, text, or email to set up a time that works best for you. We can also answer any questions via messenger, email, or text.

Will my horse test negative for EPM/Lyme disease after the protocol?

Not necessarily. Many horses do not test negative for EPM or Lyme disease after completing treatment, whether the approach is herbal, pharmaceutical, or a combination of both. Most commonly used tests measure the immune system’s antibody response rather than the presence or amount of the organism itself. Because of this, antibody levels can remain elevated for months or longer after treatment, fluctuate up or down, or even increase temporarily without indicating active disease or treatment failure.

For this reason, testing negative is not a reliable or required goal. Antibody tests cannot distinguish between past exposure, immune memory, and active infection, and lab results do not always correlate with how the horse feels or performs clinically. Many horses improve significantly while remaining test-positive, and some never return to a negative result despite long-term stability. Clinical response and overall function are more meaningful indicators of progress than a single laboratory value.

Diet also plays a role in recovering, inflammatory processed feeds create heat and dampness due to a weak Spleen/Stomach, which can also lead to leaky gut and other underlying health conditions that need to be addressed. This weakens the body’s ability to absorb nutrients or herbs, and creates a warm damp environment for bacteria or parasites to live in, making it hard for the formulas to break up this living environment and eliminate these pathogens.

Our EPM/Lyme protocol is our standard protocol, severe cases may need to adjust their approach with more time, or even address heavy metals as heavy metal accumulation can sometimes mimic EPM/Lyme symptoms.

Do you offer Money Back Guarantee?

No, we do not offer a money-back guarantee. Every horse and human responds differently, and outcomes are influenced by many factors outside of our control, including diet, underlying or concurrent conditions, individual healing timeframes, the accuracy and interpretation of diagnostics, and consistency in following product instructions. Each body is unique, and healing is not linear. For these reasons, results cannot be guaranteed.

Is there a loading dose?

No, results can be seen quickly with normal recommended dosages.

How often should I use Remove Heavy metals 90 day cleanse?

Depending on symptoms, water sourcing, vaccines, diet, and medication usage we typically recommend 1 time every other year.

Can I use the EPM/Lyme protocol as a preventative?

Yes! You don’t have to wait for your horse to have EPM or Lyme disease to use it. For prevention with no symptoms or previous diagnostics you can use steps 1 and 2 for preventive measures. In all other cases we recommend all 3 steps.

How often should I do Knockout parasite 90 day cleanse?

We recommend it once a year for any age due to constant parasite exposure.

What does not using long term usage mean?

Our cleanses and long term protocols are not for long term usage, those cleanses are 90 days.

Our other formulas when we refer to not long term usage of our formulas that is because our company focuses on wanting to correct root imbalances and not create dependence on formulas long term. Once root causes are addressed and the system is functioning properly, long term reliance is not needed. These herbs can be used long term, but our goal is rather to support in times of need.

What makes your herbs different?

We use a blend of both Eastern pharmaceutical grade herbs and high-quality Western botanicals to tonify organ systems and relieve symptoms in a duo combination. Pharmaceutical-grade herbs sets us apart because they undergo extensive testing for purity, potency, heavy metals, and contaminants whereas cheap herbs cannot provide farming location, sourcing, growing environments, purity, or toxicity.

Can I give antibiotics while on the EPM/Lyme protocol?

Yes, but we recommend discussing with your vet as each horse is an individual and cases or severity varies, some customers prefer using antibiotics prior to our protocol, during the beginning with Knockout, or just prefer the herbs alone.

If my horse doesnt have any problems is there anything I can use to prevent illness or issues?

Yes, we recommend Knockout parasite cleanse once a year, and Remove heavy metals cleanse every other year or as needed. Keeping the Spleen/Stomach strong and healthy during stress or weather changes with Relentless is also an option to prevent ulcers.

Do we offer sponsorships or how can I work with or represent ActivateQi?

We currently offer an ambassador program or affiliate program to those that currently use love and share our products and testimonies already!

We do recommend feeding anti-inflammatory diets to be part of our ambassador program.
