How does Recovery® work?
To understand how Recovery® helps improve your quality of life*, let's take a look at how cells behave when they are aging and/or damaged by trauma such as injury, surgery or over-training.
When a cell is irritated or damaged, or when it begins to age, its membranes break down. As a result, compounds contained within the cell walls are released into the cellular matrix. Some of these substances, such as histamine, give rise to inflammation and associated pain.
Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat and moderate to intense discomfort. When a joint becomes inflamed, you may experience any or all of these symptoms. This can prevent the joint from moving properly, leading to stiffness and loss of function. Researchers have found that the "diseases of aging" such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis (brittle bone disease) and hardening of the arteries, have similar underlying factors: a decrease in cell stability leading to membrane damage and subsequent release of irritating compounds.
The ingredients in Recovery® work by stabilizing the membranes of your cells, healing existing damage and preventing further damage. On a practical level, this means your quality of life is improved*, and your body is able to function better.

Recovery® is a functional food with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects - for natural relief of chronic inflammation and pain. Since 1999, Recovery® has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects and has earned international acclaim as an effective anti-inflammatory food product.
Many clinicians have noted that Recovery® has demonstrated significant and safe anti-inflammatory effects for both the treatment and prevention of chronic inflammation and to improve post-trauma rehabilitation. The mainstream drug anti-inflammatory options are corticosteroids and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Recovery® contains Nutricol® - a potent proprietary bioflavonoid complex consisting of EGCG, theaflavin, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol from grape and tea. The above anti-catabolic compounds are recognized for their ability to halt tissue damage and inflammation.*
Available in powder (150g/350g sizes) and vegetarian capsules (180/360 cap sizes) forms: each serving contains 150mg Nutricol®, 1,250mg MSM, 750mg Glucosamine, 300mg Vitamin C and 200mg DMG (powder form is naturally flavoured).
Suggested use capsules:
5 capsules 2 times a day or as directed by a health practitioner.
Suggested use powder:
Introduce gradually over a two week period to a concentrated dose of two to three teaspoons spread throughout the day. Mix with water or diluted juice.
After 30 - 60 days it may be possible to reduce intake to 1/2 the concentrated dose as stated above.
When oxygen is utilized by your body, it produces a highly reactive "exhaust" that is damaging to your cells. The reactive molecules in this exhaust are commonly referred to as "free radicals" or reactive oxygen species (ROS). While some free radicals play a necessary role in the metabolic process, an overabundance of them is believed by many researchers to be a primary cause of cell destruction, inflammation, degenerative disease and aging. (Among the diseases attributed to increased free radical action are heart disease, arthritis, cancers, liver disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes, some gastro-intestinal diseases, auto-immune disease and asthma.)
The bioactive components of Nutricol® have been shown in numerous studies to curb the production of free radicals in animals and in humans. It is therefore proposed that regular use of the product will help reduce the rate of cellular damage attributed to free radical action.
Animals are very important members of our world. Whether they be companion animals or working animals, their health and well-being is often of great importance to us. In our quest to help the animals you care about live long, productive and pain-free lives, Biomedica Labs has developed Recovery®SA for small companion animals such as cats and dogs, and Recovery®EQ for larger animals such as horses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Recovery® safe?
When developing products, Biomedica Labs makes effectiveness and safety the primary concerns. Recovery® is a food-based non-drug medicine and has an ingredient profile taken from foods (grapes, green tea) that have a long history of being consumed on a daily basis for prolonged periods of time by people throughout the world and are considered very safe.
Does Recovery® really work and how can it help me?
Recovery has a very long history of getting results where all other products may not. Recent lengthy comparative field trials conducted by Veterinarians from the most reputable Equine Consumer Reports Veterinary Journal in the world (Horse Journal® in Connecticut) indicate that Recovery® is "THE Best Performer Overall". Horses do not experience the placebo effect. Results in the equine trials showed that the test animals demonstrated 80% - 100% improvements, monitored via flexion tests, in only 3 - 5 weeks time. If Recovery® can do this for horses imagine what Recovery® developed for humans may do for you.
Something to think about:
The horse industry is the most competitive market in the world for results-oriented natural anti-inflammatory products because anti-inflammatory drugs are not allowed in competitive horse sports. Horsemen require that competitive horses be free to move optimally or they will lose competitions and that means loss of money. You can bet that horsemen and veterinarians alike are very progressive in the area of pain management and post trauma healing. Recovery® was rated as the #1 product on the market by the most respected Consumer Reports Veterinary Journal in the world. Results coupled with safety are of primary importance and Recovery® delivers where it counts.
