Athletic Recovery

Improve Performance Through Optimized Exercise Recovery
Peak athletic performance requires intense training. Such training places significant additional physiologic demands on the body, in a manner similar to the demands of surgery. We designed RecoveryMD™ to accommodate and optimize athletic training recovery with this similarity in mind. Other supplements have not been specifically formulated based on the scientific study of surgical patients and their heightened systemic stress and micronutrient needs.
Are you looking for ways to improve your athletic performance and increase the results of your training? The fact is that all gains in speed, power and endurance come through optimized recovery. Training hard is important. But it is the quality of the recovery between training sessions that has the biggest impact on your results. In fact, we like to say, “ There is no such thing as over training. There is only under recovery.™

Athletic Recovery Challenge

Intense training is hard on the body. To build strength, power and endurance, you must stress, damage and break down your muscular and skeletal tissue in a structured way so that the body can rebuild those tissues — STRONGER AND BETTER. This rebuilding process is known as recovery, and it is a vital component of any training regimen.

MACRO- and MICRO-nutrition

The body’s recovery processes are driven by optimized MACRO- and MICRO-nutrition. Each is equally important and mutually dependent upon the other.
 MACRO-nutrition refers to the bulk building material and fuel needed for recovery:

  • Protein to build the muscle and other soft tissues
  • Carbohydrates and fats to fuel the building process

But what primes your body to use these building materials and fuel?

That is the MICRO-nutrition side of the equation. MICRO-nutrition refers to the vitamins, minerals and co-factors that make the body’s cells run and repair at optimum levels. Without these vital micronutrients, your cells are not operating at peak capacity and tissue repair and recovery is sluggish or nonexistent.

Why is optimized recovery so important for athletes?

Without proper recovery between workouts, you subject your muscles to further damage before they are ready. This not only limits your ability to train harder, but also opens up the possibility of serious injury. Stress fractures, strains, sprains and tears can occur when recovery is not prioritized. Injuries like these can not only sideline you for months, but may also negatively affect your future potential.
Optimal recovery, on the other hand, allows your body to fully repair itself after the stress of training so that it can become stronger…faster … better. You can get back to the gym quicker and train harder because today’s recovery determines tomorrow’s performance.
RecoveryMD

The Solution

The good news is there is a way to prime your body for recovery…today.

RecoveryMD™ is a targeted micronutrient supplement formulated by our team of Top Doctors to meet the critical demands of surgery and trauma when tissue recovery can mean life or death. If you’re a professional athlete, or just train like one, you damage muscle in the same way.

The micronutrients in RecoveryMD™ have been meticulously researched, carefully selected and clinically formulated to provide your body’s cells with the vital nutrients they needs to supercharge the recovery process and maximize the return from your workouts.

Adding RecoveryMD™ to your training regimen will help you:

  • Speed your recovery between workouts, games or competition
  • Minimize soreness
  • Reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Restore energy
  • Optimize performance
RecoveryMD™ is safe, effective, and built for mission critical muscle recovery during peak training, and periods of intense athletic competition. Because your regular daily vitamin is not enough, RecoveryMD™ provides targeted recovery support and is formulated to be far stronger than the standard supplements you might find in stores. The vitamins and mineral compounds in RecoveryMD™ are naturally sourced and pharmaceutically pure to produce the most dramatic improvement in athletic recovery—without any banned substances.
If you are serious about optimizing your exercise recovery and maximizing the results of your training, order RecoveryMD™ today! We know you’ll be able to train harder and achieve better results from your workouts after taking it a short time.
If you play contact sports such as football, hockey, lacrosse, or participate in high-impact activities such as mixed martial arts and boxing, we also highly recommend taking OsteoplexMD® along with RecoveryMD™ for complete recovery support.
The forces endured during these high-impact activities can produce tiny microfractures in your bones. While not severe enough to require medical treatment, these microfractures can significantly weaken your bone if not allowed to heal properly, reducing overall strength and leading to more serious injury. OsteoplexMD® is a bone health supplement designed to optimize the body’s ability to strengthen and heal bone. With high levels of calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K1 and K2 as well as Copper, OsteoplexMD® is an ideal way to ensure your skeleton is as strong as the rest of your body.

Improve Exercise Recovery

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 needed 10,11

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 tissue 16

Vitamin E:

Balanced with omega compounds for strong recovery and anti-inflammatory effects 17

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
