Vitamins E & beta-carotene are supplied in their natural forms, most brands contain synthetic forms that are not as effective. Four products in one: It is a multivitamin, a vitamin C, a vitamin E, and a calcium supplement. These four categories are necessary, integral components of a healthy diet. Iron Free as it is unnecessary for most people, may be potentially harmful as excessive amounts have been associated with heart disease, arthritis, cellular damage.

Vitamin A (retinol) & its carotene precursor extend more complete vitamin A nutrition.

A complete array of B vitamins: supports many metabolic functions.

Product Description

VitaMedica's Clinical Support for Surgery is a two-part specialty nutritional supplement program designed specifically to support healing after surgical procedures of patients. 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. The formulation includes targeted nutrients to support wound healing, boost immune function, stimulate tissue growth factors, and reduce the oxidative load associated with surgery.

  • Excludes nutrients that may have an adverse effect on surgery and healing
  • Includes targeted nutrients to support wound healing, boost immune function and stimulate tissue growth factors

VitaMedica - Clinical Support for Surgery
 
Review Date: December 29, 2007
Reviewer: Marsha Kay Boerger, AZ
My surgeon provided me with this product and I had a speedy, excellent recovery. I bought this for my neighbor, who was having surgery and he was delighted with his healing results, also. The vitamins are designed for day, then evening to give you lots of the right vitamins and minerals to speed healing.
Excellent product
 
Review Date: February 12, 2010
Reviewer: Laurie E. Roberts, Lexington, KY
I used this product before and after a surgery and it worked wonders. Even though everyone around me was sick, I never caught a cold.

Once I stopped taking the product for a few weeks, I caught a cold quickly. I decided to buy some more and take it through the cold and flu season!

I highly recommend this product - especially if you will be having any type of surgery.
My Surgeons rejected the ingredients as potentially dangerous with no likely health benefit
 
Review Date: March 24, 2009
Reviewer: ZMed, Boston, MA
I discovered VitaMedica and given that it did not have any reviews, I took it to my physician and surgeon (both Harvard Medical School doctors) along with printouts of their ingredients from [...].

They reviewed the ingredients and we compared them with standard multivitamins like Centrum Silver and GNC. First, Centrum and standard multivitamins have very similar levels of the standard vitamins and minerals, so at 3 times the price it seems expensive for what you get.

Contrary to what VitaMedica states, my surgeon said that I should avoid:
- VitaMedica's Surgery Clinical kit
- Most multivitamins and
- ALL herbal supplements

because they all contain ingredients which can cause dangerous interactions with blood clotting, anticoagulants, pain medications and anesthesia. Same goes for some of the arnica and bromelain wound healing products. Wait until you are out of the woods at least a month after surgery to use these items, but the clinical evidence does not show them to work.

So, word to the wise, avoid dangerous vitamin supplements and consult your doctor or nutritionist before surgery.

Used for Bleph, now for full body lift
 
Review Date: December 14, 2007
Reviewer: Lena G, Birmingham, AL USA
I recently had my upper eyelids worked on and my bruising was so minimal, which I believe to be a combination between the skill of my surgeon as well as taking these vitamins obsessively.

I think it is worth the try, especially when you are spending thousands to improve yourself. What's $100 extra dollars to keep yourself a little healthier as well as supplement your body to heal it's best.

Product Description

Production of vitamin D in nature always appears to require the presence of some UV light. Vitamin D is produced in skin exposed to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B radiation. Although you get some Vitamin D from 10 - 15 minutes sun exposure, it is not enough. Vitamin D regulates the calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting their absorption from food in the intestines and by promoting re-absorption of calcium in the kidneys, which enables normal mineralization of bone and prevents hypocalcemic tetany. Vitamin D is important for people with osteoporosis. Studies show that calcium and vitamin D together can increase bone density in postmenopausal women. Vitamin D also helps with disorders associated with weak bones, like rickets. Vitamin D it is also needed for bone growth, bone remodeling by osteoblasts & osteoclasts. Needed for healthy bones, prevention of Osteoporosis. Vitamin D affects the immune system by promoting phagocytocis, anti-tumor activity, & immunomodulatory functions. 70% decrease of all cancers. Adequate blood levels of Vitamin D are associated with less incidence of heart attacks, speedier brain processing, decreased flu episodes. Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of organ systems. Vitamin D deficiencies are more common in those who: Are over 50 years. Get very little sun exposure. Have kidney disease or diseases that affect the absorption of minerals. Have darker skin. Are lactose intolerant. Are vegan. Are infants who are fed only breast milk . Vitamin D deficiency may cause hormone problems, muscle weakness and pain, and other symptoms. Vitamin D has also been studied for other conditions ranging from cancer prevention to high blood pressure, but the evidence is not conclusive. Experts recommend 800 IU to 1,000 IU of vitamin D a day for all adults. It is preferable to take Vitamin D3 since it has stronger effect.

Enzymes also increase nutrient assimilation and help rejuvenate aged skin and internal organs.

Product Description

VitaMedica's Glucosamine Sulfate is indicated as an adjunctive agent for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that plays an important role in joint health because it stimulates the manufacture of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) - key structural components of cartilage. Glucosamine Sulfate is a naturally occurring compound known as an amino sugar. Amino sugars are key constituents of larger compounds called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and glycoproteins, which enable cells in tissues to hold together. They are necessary for the construction and maintenance of virtually all connective tissues and lubricating fluids in the body - tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone matrix, skin, joint fluid, intestinal lining, and mucous membranes. Normally we generate sufficient amounts of glucosamine in our bodies to form the various compounds needed to generate connective tissue and healthy cartilage. But gradually with aging, the rate at which our body produces glucosamine begins to gradually change. This loss can also be accelerated by increased athletic activity, injuries, inflammatory disorders, and other chronic degeneration. In such situations our bodies may not be able to keep up with the demand for glucosamine, leading to a decrease in the amount of GAGs produced. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of protective lubricating substances such as synovial fluid, which cushions our joints, and protects them from damage. In essence, more glucosamine is needed, but less is produced.

Product Details

  • To maintain healthy joints
  • Glucosamine Sulfate stimulates the manufacture of substances necessary for proper joint function
  • Glucosamine Sulfate is responsible for stimulating joint repair because it can stimulate new cartilage production

Worked for me!
 
Review Date: March 20, 2009
Reviewer: MW, Seal Beach, CA
I was recommended Vita Medica Glucosamine by my orthopedic surgeon for my knee. I have been taking it for about 3 month and have noticed a reduction in the swelling I used to get in the joint and along with chiropractic work on the joint I am feeling as good as I have in 10 years -- considering I have virtually no cartlidge left on the outside of the knee joint.

Unlike other glocosamine supplements I have taken before, there is no stomach upset and no multiple doses per day. I simply take two tablets in the morning and go.
