Vitamins
Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate): Role in Surgical Recovery
A fat-soluble vitamin that supports epithelial cell growth, immune function, and early wound healing after surgery.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Role in Surgical Recovery
An essential B vitamin that supports energy metabolism and nerve function during surgical recovery.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin): Role in Surgical Recovery
Essential for red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA synthesis during healing. Methyl form for superior bioavailability.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Role in Surgical Recovery
A B vitamin essential for energy metabolism, antioxidant recycling, and red blood cell production during surgical recovery.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Role in Surgical Recovery
Supports energy metabolism, DNA repair, and skin barrier function during wound healing.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Role in Surgical Recovery
Precursor to coenzyme A, essential for energy production, wound healing, and steroid hormone synthesis during recovery.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Role in Surgical Recovery
Supports amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and protein utilization for tissue repair.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Role in Surgical Recovery
An essential vitamin critical for collagen synthesis, immune function, and wound healing after surgery.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Role in Surgical Recovery
A fat-soluble vitamin essential for bone healing, immune regulation, and calcium absorption after orthopedic surgery.
Minerals
Calcium (Calcium Citrate): Role in Surgical Recovery
Essential for bone healing, muscle function, and blood clotting after orthopedic surgery.
Chromium: Role in Surgical Recovery
Supports insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, critical for maintaining blood sugar control during surgical stress.
Minerals
Iodine (Potassium Iodide): Role in Surgical Recovery
Essential for thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolic rate and tissue repair speed after surgery.
Iron (Ferrochel Bisglycinate): Role in Surgical Recovery
Chelated iron for red blood cell production and oxygen delivery to healing tissues, with minimal GI side effects.
Minerals
Magnesium (Glycinate): Role in Surgical Recovery
Essential mineral for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including muscle relaxation, nerve function, and bone formation during recovery.
Manganese: Role in Surgical Recovery
Cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation, cartilage synthesis, and antioxidant defense.
Molybdenum: Role in Surgical Recovery
Trace mineral cofactor for sulfite oxidase and xanthine oxidase, supporting detoxification during recovery.
Amino Acids
L-Arginine: Role in Surgical Recovery
Precursor to nitric oxide, supporting blood flow and nutrient delivery to surgical wound sites.
L-Glutamine: Role in Surgical Recovery
The most abundant amino acid in the body, critical for immune cell fuel, gut barrier integrity, and muscle preservation after surgery.
