Muscle breakdown begins within 24 hours of surgery and your appetite collapses just when nutrient demand peaks. OVIAL POST Powder is a post-operative recovery drink engineered for that window — a clinically-targeted alternative to general wellness shakes, meal replacements, and standard whey protein. It delivers the exact nutrients your body needs to preserve lean muscle, accelerate tissue repair and wound healing, manage post-surgical inflammation, and prime your response to physical therapy.

Each serving is a complete post-surgery nutrition formula: high-leucine Essential Amino Acids to halt catabolism after anesthesia, TendoForte® Collagen Peptides to rebuild connective tissue and support incision healing, Creatine Monohydrate to restore muscle energy for rehab, and Curcumin to regulate inflammation — in a single Dutch Chocolate shake. 28 servings.

Used by patients recovering from orthopedic, abdominal, bariatric, cosmetic, and joint replacement surgery, and aligned with ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Best supplement choice for post-operative healing when general wellness products fall short.

Halts Post-Surgical Muscle Loss: The high-leucine EAA profile directly activates muscle protein synthesis and blocks the catabolic breakdown pathway that standard protein cannot stop alone. Validated in a randomized controlled trial published in JBJS (2023) for TKA patients — showing significantly reduced post-op atrophy versus controls.

Rebuilds Tendons, Ligaments & Connective Tissue: TendoForte® Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides are the only collagen peptide with clinical evidence for increasing tendon cross-sectional area. Combined with Vitamin C as the essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, this targets the structural repair demands of ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and any surgery involving soft tissue healing.

Accelerates Return-to-Sport: Creatine Monohydrate replenishes depleted muscle phosphocreatine stores — shown to improve strength recovery and physical therapy performance during rehabilitation. Critical for athletes and active patients focused on return-to-function timelines.

Regulates Inflammation Without Blocking Healing: Curcumin modulates the post-operative inflammatory response — reducing excessive inflammation that drives pain and stiffness, without suppressing the healing cascade your body needs to rebuild tissue. This is the clinical distinction from NSAIDs, which can impair healing at sustained doses.

Supports Bone Remodeling & Immune Function: Vitamin D3 + K2, Vitamin C, and Magnesium address the micronutrient demands of bone remodeling, immune support, and sleep quality — all elevated after orthopedic surgery and frequently depleted in the post-operative period.

Key ingredients are backed by Level 1 and Level 2 evidence from orthopedic-specific populations. The EAA + leucine formula is validated in peer-reviewed JBJS research. TendoForte® collagen peptides have clinical trial data for tendon cross-sectional area. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory mechanism is well-established in surgical populations. Third-party tested, NSF Certified for Sport — compliant for professional and competitive athletes.

Dutch Chocolate flavor. Third-party tested. NSF Certified for Sport. GMP-certified facility. Made in the USA.
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

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..
