Joint Replacement is dietary supplement and does not require a prescription.
Joint Replacement is not currently covered by insurance but we are actively looking into this.
Joint Replacement is a powder mixed with water, juice, your favorite smoothie or added to food like yogurt. For optimal taste and maximum absorption of nutrients we recommend blending into a smoothie. There are a number of smoothie recipes provided on our website. Watch our instructional video on how to take Joint Replacement.†
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 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 Joint Replacement 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 Joint Replacement during this acute phase and switching to Regenerate for on-going nutritional support.
It is recommended to take 1 scoops per serving, 2 times per day.
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 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.
Joint Replacement is available through doctors or surgeons or can be purchased directly from our website.
Yes, Joint Replacement is shipped worldwide. Please be aware of your country’s policy for importing dietary supplements and that additional taxes and tariffs may be applied by your country. In most cases it is delivered without a problem but sometimes customs can hold and ask you to pick up or call to arrange for delivery.
The essential amino acids in Joint Replacement are safe and there are no contraindications or harmful side effects. Occasionally people with sensitive stomachs may experience some initial gas or slight irritability. This should subside as your stomach adjusts to the amino acids. If you do experience any irritation, you can simply dilute with additional juice or water, this usually resolves the issue.
I am very pleased with this Mend product, drinking it before and after my hip revision surgery. The best cold drink for me to put it in is Lemonade. It masks the taste and smell well. I highly recommend!
I add the powder to lemon aid and I have no problem at all drinking the recommended dose twice a day.
Mixed with juices, yogurt.....could only stomach Half a dose
Hi Michael--
We have recently had a flavor enhancement for the Joint Replacement product. Would you be willing to receive a complementary bottle of the new flavoring and see if that taste is better? We have had great feedback on the new enhancement. Let us know.

The mend team
I used only repair and recovery for my first hip replacement Feb 2021. I decided to try this in addition to repair and recovery for my second hip replacement 11/8/21. Mango is gross tasting for me so I tried different concoctions to make it palatable. I tried it with milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and half packet splenda. That was actually drinkable. I’ve since bought planet oat vanilla brand milk (not promoting it just what I use). This works well for me so now I can continue taking this. Too soon to tell if it’s working or not but I can’t see that it will hurt.
Hi Tina-
Thank you for your feedback! We understand that the flavor can be bitter with the essential amino acids as well. We are glad you found a solution and are enjoying the product. We will pass this feedback along to our research and development team as we are constantly looking to improve our products.
Best,
the mend team
Well, I just started taking MEND, and I like it. It tastes great either mixing with water or with juice! Next I am going to try it with yogurt. I plan to order more and later also try the MEND for skin. Thank you, Blanca
