MEND Joint Replacement

The formulation has been studied on joint replacements and shows convincing evidence that muscle loss can be reduced and recovery can be enhanced. Recovery from any major orthopedic surgical procedure where muscle loss is a concern (e.g. MCL, ACL, rotator cuff), should benefit from MEND Joint Replacement. We are working on a trial to confirm this on the ACL reconstruction population.†

MEND Joint Replacement contains only well-studied, well-tolerated nutrients that are safe and may be taken before and after surgery. It is always advisable to check with your doctor before taking any dietary supplements. If your surgeon is unaware of MEND Joint Replacement, please contact us (info@mend.me) for a brochure that you can print and take to his/her office. Your surgeon will be interested in the clinical studies, which can be found in the Clinical Research section of this site and which we are happy to email to you for easy sharing with your surgeon.†

Clinical studies show that you should ideally start taking MEND at least 1 week prior to surgery and continue for 6 weeks post surgery. Benefits have been seen in as little as 2 weeks post surgery. For maximum long-term results, we recommend taking MEND Joint Replacement during this acute phase and switching to MEND Regenerate for ongoing maintenance.

There are 21 servings per bottle. Two bottles are needed for the recommended minimum 3 week course (1 week prior to surgery and 2 weeks post).

It is not advised to take MEND Joint Replacement for longer than our recommended period as there have been no studies performed on long-term use. If you’re looking for a product to take daily after your recovery to preserve or add lean muscle mass and for general wellness, we would recommend our award winning product MEND Regenerate (learn more at mend.me).†

The flavor is Orange Mango. We chose this flavor to mask some of the bitter profile of amino acids, which are difficult to mask. We believe you’ll enjoy the taste even with water alone and certainly when mixed with juice or blended with a smoothie. For convenience many clients just add it to juice.
