All orthopedic recovery shares the same biology. Your nutrition should match.
Whether you've had hand surgery, elbow reconstruction, foot fusion, or another orthopedic procedure, the underlying healing biology is consistent: collagen synthesis, muscle preservation, and inflammation regulation. The OVIAL Surgical Nutrition Kit was formulated around the universal principles that drive surgical recovery — adaptable to virtually any orthopedic procedure.

Why nutrition matters for any orthopedic surgery.
Collagen drives all soft-tissue healing.
Whether it's a tendon, ligament, joint capsule, or surgical incision, healing depends on collagen synthesis. Clinical-dose TendoForte® collagen — combined with EAA + leucine — supplies the building blocks every surgical site needs to heal properly.
Muscle atrophy happens regardless of procedure.
Any immobilization — sling, splint, cast, brace, or simply reduced activity — drives muscle protein loss. EAA + leucine and creatine preserve muscle quality across any post-op recovery, even before active rehab begins.
Inflammation control without compromising healing.
Chronic NSAID use during the first 6 weeks can impair tissue and bone healing across many orthopedic procedures. POST Capsules use curcumin and Vit D3/K2 to modulate inflammation through different pathways — without blunting the healing cascade.
Three phases. One kit.
Anabolic Priming
Pre-load EAAs, creatine, and micronutrients to enter surgery in a positive nitrogen balance. Patients arriving anabolically primed lose less muscle mass and recover faster — across virtually any orthopedic procedure.

Common questions.
I'm having hand surgery — does this really apply to me?
Yes. Hand surgery (carpal tunnel, trigger finger, fracture fixation, tendon repair) drives the same collagen-driven healing biology as larger procedures. The Kit's 3-phase protocol applies — even if your immobilization is shorter and recovery faster, the underlying anabolic priming, atrophy prevention, and inflammation modulation principles are universal.
I had elbow surgery — Tommy John, UCL, or otherwise. Does this help?
Elbow procedures (UCL reconstruction, tendon repair, fracture fixation) are heavily collagen-dependent and benefit from the same protocol used for shoulder labral repair or rotator cuff. Long sling-time means significant biceps and forearm atrophy — the EAA + creatine framework directly addresses this.
What about foot surgery — bunion correction, fusion, or fracture fixation?
Foot procedures often involve bone healing (osteotomy, fusion) where Vit D3, K2, and magnesium support osseointegration. Long boot-time and non-weight-bearing periods drive lower-extremity atrophy. The Kit's protocol applies directly — many foot surgeons specifically recommend nutritional support for fusion patients.
My procedure isn't listed anywhere — should I assume it works?
The biological principles behind the Kit (anabolic priming, EAA-driven muscle preservation, collagen support, inflammation modulation) apply to virtually any elective orthopedic procedure. That said, every situation is individual — bring the full ingredient list to your surgeon and confirm there are no contraindications specific to your case.
I had multiple procedures done at once — does the Kit cover all of them?
Yes. The Kit's 45-day supply is built around the universal recovery arc, regardless of how many procedures were combined. Patients with combined procedures (e.g., ACL + meniscus, multiple ligament reconstructions) often have longer or more demanding recoveries — discuss extended Capsule dosing with your surgeon if your timeline runs longer than 6 months.
For educational use only. The Kit's protocol is built on the universal principles of surgical recovery and is applicable to most elective orthopedic procedures.

Always consult your surgeon before changing your perioperative regimen — particularly if you have specific medical conditions or are on medications.
