Quad activation was ahead of where she expected.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. Find out more about how OVIAL supports your recovery journey.
What is the OVIAL Surgery Recovery Kit?
The OVIAL Kit is a surgeon-formulated nutritional system designed to support orthopedic surgery recovery. It helps reduce muscle loss, support tendon/ligament repair, manage inflammation, and optimize strength gains during physical therapy.
Who is the OVIAL Kit for?
OVIAL is designed for patients undergoing:
ACL reconstruction
Meniscus or cartilage surgery
Rotator cuff repair
Shoulder instability procedures
Knee replacement
Any orthopedic injury requiring surgical repair
If your recovery involves muscle, tendon,ligament, or bone healing — OVIAL helps support it.
How does the OVIAL Kit help with muscle atrophy?
After surgery, muscle breakdown accelerates due to inflammation, reduced movement, and lower appetite. OVIAL uses a high-leucine Essential Amino Acid (EAA) formula shown to support muscle protein synthesis and help reduce early post-op atrophy.
How soon before surgery should I start the OVIAL Kit?
For best results:
Start 14 days before surgery
Continue daily for 4 weeks to 6 months post-op
If your surgery is sooner, you can begin immediately.
Is the OVIAL Kit safe to take after surgery?
Yes. The ingredients are surgeon-formulated using evidence-based nutrients commonly used in orthopedic recovery. If you have dietary restrictions or take prescription medications, consult your surgeon or healthcare provider.
Can I take OVIAL if I have a low appetite after surgery?
Yes. OVIAL is designed for patients who struggle to eat enough protein or nutrients during the first several days after anesthesia. The formulas are easy to digest and provide critical amino acids and collagen precursors your body needs.
Does OVIAL replace physical therapy?
No. Physical therapy restores movement. OVIAL supports the biology behind healing — muscle repair, collagen formation, inflammation management, and bone health. Together, they improve recovery outcomes.
How do I take the kit?
Start 1-14 days before surgery. Take 1 packet of PRE daily with 8-10oz of water. Starting on post-op day 1, begin taking POST powder daily with 8-12oz of water or milk. Take POST caps twice daily, 2 each morning and 2 before bed.
Can I use OVIAL if I’m an athlete?
Absolutely. OVIAL was designed by sports medicine surgeons specifically to support high-performance recovery, including return-to-sport timelines. OVIAL is third party tested for Sport certified.
Is OVIAL third-party tested?
Yes, Ovial products undergo third party testing to ensure ingredient accuracy, safety, and compliance
