Why Rapid Recovery?

A proper diet is essential for tissue building for all stages of wound healing, but sometimes the normal diet is not enough. Rapid Recovery provides essential protein and nutrients needed for our bodies the heal at advanced and optimal rates.

The immunonutrients in Rapid Recovery help the body build new tissue when you need it most—after injury and before and after surgery.

Nutrition Therapy

Hydrolyzed CollagenStimulates the production of internal collagen at the wound site and is shown to accelerate the rate of wound healing.

Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12): Increases the tensile strength of wounds during the early phases of healing and aids in growth of healthy blood cells and nerve cells in the body.

Vitamin CImportant for tissue regeneration, contributes towards synthesis, maturation and secretion of collagen.

Zinc GluconateRequired for collagen and protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and immune function.

Vitamin D3Protects against infection and begins the normal repair process.

Vitamin EInfluences the expression of connective tissue growth factor and regulates gene expression and transcription, thereby facilitating the protection of wounds against infections including MRSA.

L-Arginine: Increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to healing wounds.

L-GlutatmineStimulates wound healing and the formation of new protein, slows breakdown of tissue proteins, and is an energy fuel for muscle cell division. Supports the immune system and increases the concentration of Arginine.

Pea Protein: Protein provides the main building blocks for tissue growth, cell renewal, and repair during wound healing. Pea Protein contains all nine of the essential amino acids including Lysine which is an essential amino acid involved in growth, tissue repair, and collagen production. Protein also aids in regulating blood sugar.
