1x Repair & Recover (Recommended: 5 weeks through 1 week before surgery)

Feeding your body vital nutrients during repair
2x Joint Replacement (Recommended: 1 week prior to surgery through 2 weeks post-surgery)

FAQ's
Why do I need nutrition or supplements as I prepare for surgery?
A successful surgery isn’t just about what happens on the operating table. It takes a healthy functioning body to support optimal recovery from total joint surgery. Simple steps can be taken before surgery to prepare your body so that it is in the best state possible to rehab and recover. After surgery, additional steps should be taken to support your body’s own internal recovery systems and to ensure that you are back to your normal life.
