Surgery

Description

Surgery is the treatment of injury, deformity or disease by operation or manipulation.

Amino Acids

 Arginine may accelerate the recovery from Surgery:  ^[1]

 Arginine administered during the early postoperative time period may improve postoperative immunologic responses and may accelerate recovery from the immunologic depression that occurs after surgical trauma.

 Arginine may accelerate the healing of Wounds in persons who have undergone Surgery.

       Glutamine is possibly the most essential nutrient of all to supplement with before and after Surgery.  ^[2]

 Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) may accelerate the healing of Wounds and may counteract the suppression of the Immune System following Surgery.  ^[3]

 Taurine may reduce the Inflammation that occurs during Surgery.  ^[4]

Antioxidants

 Most Antioxidants counteract the Inflammation of body tissues associated with Surgery.

Carbohydrates

 Kureha may accelerate the recovery of the Immune System following Surgery.  ^[5]

Enzymes

 Bromelain (especially when used in conjunction with other Proteases) may minimize the Inflammation, Edema and Pain that occurs as a result of Surgery.  ^[6]

 Chymotrypsin may accelerate the healing of the Wounds associated with Surgery.  ^[7]

 Serrapeptase may help to prevent and minimize the Edema, Inflammation and Pain that occurs following Surgery.  ^[8]

 Trypsin (especially when used in combination with other Proteases) may reduce the Edema, Inflammation and Pain associated with Surgery.  ^[9]

Lipids

 Omega-3 Fatty Acids may accelerate the recovery from Surgery:  ^[10]

 Supplementary Omega-3 Fatty Acids administered during the early postoperative time period may improve postoperative immunologic responses and may accelerate recovery from the immunologic depression that occurs after surgical trauma.
