What's In The Kit
Three products. One protocol.
Each kit ships with a daily schedule card so you cannot do this wrong — pre-op, acute, and rehab phases mapped day-by-day.
01·Pre-Op
OVIAL PRE — Lemon Powder
Begin 1-14 days before surgery. Pre-loads amino acids, Vitamin D3+K2, and collagen precursors so the body enters surgery anabolically primed.
EAAs + Glutamine D3 + K2 Vit C HMB
02·Acute Recovery
OVIAL POST — Dutch Chocolate
Start day of surgery. Halts the muscle-breakdown cascade. Take 30–45 min before PT to roughly double collagen synthesis at the repair site.
Whey TendoForte® Collagen Creatine EAAs
03·Daily · 6 weeks
OVIAL POST — Capsules
Morning to night, runs throughout. Modulates surgical inflammation without blocking the healing cascade. Magnesium supports sleep and pain threshold.
Curcumin Magnesium D3 + K2

Everything You Need to Know!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A daily schedule card is included in the kit.

Absolutely. OVIAL was designed by sports medicine surgeons specifically to support high-performance recovery, including return-to-sport timelines.  OVIAL is NSF Certified for Sport..

Yes. OVIAL products undergo quality and purity testing to ensure ingredient accuracy, safety, and compliance.
