Pre/Post Operative Supplement Protocol
To support optimal healing and recovery, begin taking the recommended supplements two weeks prior to your procedure. Consistent use during this time helps prepare your body for surgery by promoting a healthy inflammatory response and supporting tissue integrity. Continue taking the supplements for at least two weeks following your procedure, this post-operative phase is critical for reducing inflammation, supporting wound healing, and aiding in a smoother, more comfortable recovery.
Timing Guideline and Instruction
-
Begin supplements two weeks prior to your scheduled surgery date. If you are unable to start that early, begin as soon as you receive your supplements.

Continue taking the supplements for at least two weeks following your procedure.

Stop supplements when instructed by your physician prior to surgery to be NPO, normally 12 hours prior to surgery.

If prescribed antibiotics, take your probiotic at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic. Otherwise, the probiotic may be taken with your PM supplements.
