VitaMedica Surgery Products — Spa Greystone in Birmingham, Alabama
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.
VitaMedica® specializes in supplement products designed to support the nutritional needs of patients
undergoing surgical procedures. VitaMedica Surgery products are formulated with essential nutrients to support
wound healing, enhance tissue repair, support the immune system, prevent infection, minimize inflammation
and reduce bruising.

Clinical Support for Surgery
A
Multi-Nutrient Formula for Surgical Patients
VitaMedica'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:
- AM/PM dosing for optimal nutrition
- Antioxidant protection for surgery
- Zinc for immune enhancement
- Vitamin C and vitamin A for wound healing

Bromelain with Quercetin
A
Potent Anti-Inflammatory Combination
- Combined with quercetin to enhance the anti-inflammatory effects
- Easy-to-swallow-capsules
- Two capsules (500mg) provide 1,000 Milk Clotting Units (MCUs)
- 60 capsules per bottle (10-day supply)
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 30X
A
Homeopathic Remedy for Bruising & Swelling
- 30X formula that is optimal for facial surgeries
- Minimizes bruising associated with injectable procedures (e.g., Botox, Restylane)
- Soft-grain, sublingual tablet that dissolves rapidly
- 250 tablets (about a 3-week supply)
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 Program
Designed
for Surgical & Non-Invasive Procedures
- Features Bromelain with Quercetin and Arnica Montana 30X
- Convenient 10-day program
- Includes comprehensive instruction card for dosing and product information
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 Program
Designed
for Comprehensive Surgical Procedures
- Features Clinical Support for Surgery, Bromelain with Quercetin and Arnica Montana 30X
- Convenient one-month program
- Includes comprehensive instruction card for dosing and product information
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 Support
To maintain Your Surgical Results
The 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.
- DermalNutrients™ — A unique functional food designed to support the development
of collagen and elastin.
- HA+A™ Hydrating Nutraceutical — An oral form of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA
is highly concentrated at sites of injury (e.g., trauma or surgery) to enhance the ability of healing cells
to reach an injured area.
- Multi-Vitamin & Mineral — Provides all of the key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
that the body needs to support health, wellness and ongoing tissue repair.
