Do you want to improve exercise recovery? Or are you currently experiencing a surgery recovery?
Here is how our surgery and training supplement works:
RecoveryMD™ is the biologic key to optimizing exercise and surgery recovery at the cellular level. Its targeted formula contains ideal forms and levels of micronutrients proven to supercharge the body’s natural recovery processes.
Vitamin A:
Commonly known as the anti-infective vitamin, is present in balanced forms and optimal levels to support immune function, tissue growth, recovery and red blood cell production1,2
Vitamin B5:
In ideal levels, and as shown in multiple studies to both accelerate wound healing and to increase the strength and integrity of healing tissues3,4,5
Vitamin C:
A highly effective antioxidant with further properties essential for synthesis of collagen in healing blood vessels, bone, tendon, ligaments, and other tissues6
Vitamin D3:
Increasingly recognized for its role in cell differentiation in healing skin, bone and other tissues settings 7,8,9
Vitamins K1 & K2:
Critical elements to foster optimal cell growth and support of bone mineralization when needed10,11
Copper Citrate:
Required for optimized support of bone formation and can accelerate healing and blood vessel growth and repair by as much as 30%
Zinc:
To protect cell membranes from oxidative damage, and with an important healing role in cellular growth and immune response
Pomegranate:
Provides anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant support of healing tissue16
Vitamin E:
Balanced with omega compounds for strong recovery and anti-inflammatory effects17
Bromelain:
An anti-inflammatory enzyme found in the stem of pineapple plants, which reduces muscle and tissue swelling, especially following injury
Quercetin:
A bioflavinoid that helps repair damage to nerve tissues and improves circulation by strengthening capillaries throughout the body
