Clinical Support for SurgeryA Multi-Nutrient Formula for Surgical PatientsVitaMedica's Clinical Support for Surgery is a specialty nutritional supplement designed to provide patients with essential nutrients to support healing after a surgical procedure. In addition, the two-part (AM & PM) formulation is unique because it excludes nutrients that may have an adverse effect on surgery and healing. For example, the formulation does not contain vitamin E because this fat-soluble vitamin may cause problems with bleeding during surgery and slow wound healing post-operatively. While many of the nutrients in Clinical Support for Surgery may be found in multiple supplement products, until now, no other nutraceutical has provided this unique combination, in a single formulation, to support healing after surgery. VitaMedica's Clinical Support for Surgery offers a number of unique features including:
Bromelain with QuercetinA Potent Anti-Inflammatory Combination
VitaMedica's Bromelain with Quercetin is a nutritional supplement that contains natural ingredients, with excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from the stem of the pineapple. Quercetin is a plant pigment found in large amounts in foods such as onions and apples. Together, bromelain and quercetin work synergistically to reduce the bruising and swelling associated with surgical procedures. Bromelain inhibits compounds called prostaglandins that cause inflammation, and promotes the formation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Quercetin inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators including histamine. Combined, these nutrients enhance the effects of each other and demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity. Arnica Montana 30XA Homeopathic Remedy for Bruising & Swelling
VitaMedica's Arnica Montana 30X is a homeopathic remedy designed to reduce the discomfort, bruising and swelling associated with soft tissue injury that often accompanies surgical and non-surgical procedures. The literal interpretation of homeopathy is "like treating like." The principle behind homeopathy is that our bodies have natural defense mechanisms to aid in healing. This is often refected as symptoms. While prescription medications tend to suppress symptoms, homeopathic medication try to elicit them. This approach is intended to stimulate the immune system and enhance the healing process. Healing Supplements ProgramDesigned for Surgical & Non-Invasive Procedures
The VitaMedica Healing Supplements Program combines Bromelain with Quercetin plus Arnica Montana 30X to effectively minimize the swelling and inflammation associated with surgical procedures. The program is well-suited for less extensive procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), chin augmentation and breast augmentation. The Healing Supplements Program is also ideal for patients undergoing non-surgical procedures such as chemical peels, fat and other filler injections (e.g., Restylane, Zyderm). For those individuals who bruise easily with this type of non-surgical treatment, the Healing Supplements Program can provide effective relief. The Healing Supplements Program is formulated in an easy-to-use, ten-day kit. This is ideal for individuals who, because of time demands, may not be able to complete the more comprehensive Surgery Program. Surgery ProgramDesigned for Comprehensive Surgical Procedures
The VitaMedica Surgery Program is a comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative nutritional supplement system designed specifically for patients undergoing operative procedures. The Surgery Program provides nutrients to speed wound healing, support the immune system, prevent infection, minimize inflammation and reduce bruising. The targeted nutrients in the Surgery Program were selected based on extensive use of the best evidence and research currently available in the nutritional science literature. In particular, nutrients such as vitamins A, C and K have been well-studied in the plastic surgery, wound healing and nutrition literature. What is unique about the Surgery Program is that it provides nearly all of the key nutrients that are beneficial for surgery in a single convenient kit. At the same time, it excludes those nutrients such as vitamin E, which should not be taken during the peri-operative period. Additional Post-Operative Nutritional SupportTo maintain Your Surgical ResultsThe visible aspects of surgery, namely bruising and swelling, typically disappear after a few weeks. However, the body's effort to repair and rebuild itself often extends 3-9 months following a surgical procedure. While our Surgery products are intended to assist the healing process during the peri-operative period (2 weeks before and 2 weeks following surgery), the following VitaMedica nutraceuticals are designed to provide the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids required for long-term support after a surgical procedure.

Like
any type of invasive procedure, surgical outcome tends to improve when the patient is in good physical health. Optimizing
a patient's nutritional status is an important part of this process, and is essential for proper wound healing.
