Recovery Formula Extra Strength - 180 Caps

What is Recovery?
Recovery is something you may want to consider if you have just been injured, undergone surgery or are dealing with inflammation and pain.

Recovery is a safe, all-natural, food-based, non-drug medicine that helps to improve your quality of life*. The primary active ingredient in Recovery is Nutricol - a potent blend of naturally-occurring substances derived from foods that have been shown in numerous clinical studies to profoundly affect the health of our cells.

Recovery also contains glucosamine, MSM and TMG to supply preformed naturally-occurring metabolites and building blocks of body tissue.

Recovery has been developed to improve your circulation, speed repair and slow or halt tissue damage.

The equine version of this human product has been named as the most effective equine arthritis product on the market today, after the completion of comparitive trials over the last year. Results from Recovery were compared against results when administering other companies products containing glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, herbal combinations and the most effective patent products from the global marketplace today. Recovery is now rated as the most effective product for arthritis, tendonitis and chronic pain conditions.

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, 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.*

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, liver disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes, some gastro-intestinal diseases, auto-immune disease and asthma.)

FAQ'S

Is Recoverysafe?
When developing products, Purica 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 Recoveryreally 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.

Can Recovery be taken with drugs?
Recovery is a safe, effective, all natural, non-herbal product that has been developed so that it is safe to complement other drugs.

Feedback indicates that high doses of ibuprofen may inhibit the activity of Recovery in some users. Lowering the dosage of ibuprofen used may improve the effects of Recovery.

What People are saying about Recovery:

"The Perfect Formula for Pain"
As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am in the business of correction. The body has an innate ability to mend itself given the proper building blocks of nutrition and supplementation. This is the beauty of RECOVERY, the perfect formulation for not only eliminating pain, but doing so through correction and rebuilding of the joint and connective tissue. My patients are living testimonials to that.

No More Drugs, No More Back Pain
RECOVERY has changed my life so much. I have not had cortisone shots or used NSAIDs in two years. Prior to taking RECOVERY I was taking cortisone shots every two to three months in bone, hips and sacroiliac region.

Hip Replacement Not Needed Pain Gone
I am 39 years old and have been told I would need hip replacement surgery within five years. I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life crippled and in agony, and would likely be in a wheelchair very soon. Thanks to RECOVERY I have my life back. If I had anything to do with it, the whole world would be on "RECOVERY!!!
Caroline Tilden, St. Cathrine's ON

After 27 Years Joint Pain Gone
I have been in constant pain with degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis since the age of 32. After no difference with anti-inflammatories, I soon realized that nothing works like RECOVERY. At 60 years old I feel like a kid some days. My hands are free from pain and my energy levels are up so the extra weight is falling off, thanks to RECOVERY.

In 6 Weeks Joint Pain Disappears "Told She Would Always Suffer"
I was told that I would always suffer from joint pain. Previously it had been so bad I could not get on most shoes, let alone walk without pain. After 6 weeks on RECOVERY, the pain and swelling have completely disappeared.
Maureen Morket, Montana

Injury, Pain, Gone in 3 Weeks
I would not have believed it if I had not experienced it myself! Contact sports for 20 years and a car accident left me with chronic pain and arthritis. After three weeks on RECOVERY, the pain was completely gone.

Severe Arthritis - Knees
I have been waiting for knee cap replacement for over a year and it could be another 8 to 9 months before I even see my knee surgeon. I have had more sleepless nights in count of pain. I have had approximately 7 shots of cortisone but they only last 3 to 4 months, so about month and a half ago I heard about Recovery success in the health and wellness updates, so I thought what the heck I have tried everything else so I might as well try it. Well I have been on Recovery for 6 weeks and it is unbelievable what it has done for my knees. I was ready to use a cane, which my specialist suggested and now I am thinking of cancelling my surgery. I am 66 years old and I could not walk 9 holes at the golf course; now I walk 18 holes without any pain. To me it is a miracle medicine! Thanks a million!
