Don't Let Joint Pain Stop You

Chronic pain and loss of mobility test your ability to live your life to the fullest. Age and injury often bring poor healing, joint pain, stiffness, lack of energy and the tendency to become unhappy with a life in pain. Oftentimes we feel helpless when pain and loss of mobility take control. By limiting your ability to participate in many simple activities it is easy to see how chronic pain can interfere with your well-being.

Imagine recovering the freedom to move... what would that mean to you? Perhaps more dancing, golfing, physical activity with children or grandchildren. If you are an athlete, what could the freedom to move mean to your level of performance

The Recovery Discovery

Giving you back the quality of life you desire; the freedoms and pleasures that may seem beyond hope.

The results noted with Recovery over the past 7 years are significant. It has changed the lives of many men, women and children, greatly enhancing their ability to participate in what life has to offer.

Safely Combining with Drugs
Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic action, combining Recovery with drugs can lead to reduced drug toxicity and side effects.

Directions for Use

Simply add some Recovery FX powder to water or juice and drink-up. Or try the vegetarian capsules. The absorption of the powder formulation is more rapid than the absorption of the capsules. Further absorption occurs in the stomach and the intestinal track.

Recovery Veg Capsules:
Take 5 capsules, 2 times a day, or as directed by a health practitioner.
One 360 capsule bottle of Recovery will last 36 days, at a dose of 10 capsules per day. 5 capsules = 1 teaspoon of powder

Recovery FX Powder:
Adults: Take one teaspoon twice daily in pure, energized water or diluted juice, or as directed by a health practitioner. Difficult cases may require up to 3 teaspoons per day. Continue indefinitely.
Children 12 and under: Introduce gradually over a two week period to a concentrated dose of 1/2 teaspoon per 20 lobs body weight. After 30 - 60 days it may be possible to reduce intake to 1/4 teaspoon per 20lbs body weight.
Therapeutic Dosing: Increase your Recovery to 1.5 teaspoons twice a day. If you are experiencing pain, inflammation, or have had an injury or surgery, use the therapeutic dosing regime for at least a one-month period and then return to a maintenance dose on-going.

Note: if you are experiencing an acute situation, it is helpful to take 3 to 4 teaspoons per day until the situation subsides. Then adjust your protocol accordingly.

Many people begin at a lower dose (1/4 teaspoon 2 times per day) and slowly work up the dosage over a two week period, as effective dosage varies and may be at the lower end of the spectrum (e.g. 1 teaspoon per day total) and would therefore be more cost effective.

One 350g container of Recovery FX will last approximately 44 days, at a dose of 2 teaspoons per day.

At regular recommended dose, Recovery typically produces results in two to three weeks, although some individuals may experience results sooner.

It is recommended that Recovery be taken on an empty stomach for OPTIMAL results. If you have a sensitive stomach or experience nausea or stomach upset, take Recovery with food until your tolerance level increases. Note that some of the benefits are reduced by fiber contained in your food.

Please Note:
Mixing Nutricol (main ingredient in Recovery) with milk (except yogurt) inhibits absorption.
Recovery contains hypoallergenic ingredients. However, the introduction of any new food or drug may result in an allergy. ©2002 Biomedica Laboratories Inc Recovery is trademarked as Biostructural Medicine Recovery. 15-JULY-2004

Recovery Will Improve Endurance & Flexibility

Recovery contains Nutricol, which is proposed to increase the structural integrity of connective tissue structures, and maintains optimal tissue hydration.

Nutricol - The Primary, Active Ingredient

These naturally occurring plant antioxidants have been shown in numerous clinical studies to profoundly affect the health of cells. It is the key to the success of Recovery.

• Halt tissue damage and inflammation,
• Decrease trauma (surgery, injury & over-training),
• Increase cell's resistance to damage,
• Improve cell's ability to repair damage.

Nutricol improves the delivery of building blocks required for repair & maintenance of joint tissues, skin, blood vessels, cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, menisci and synovium. Also helps to halt damage to joint structures, damage that often leads to swelling, spasm, pain and loss of mobility.

• Engineered to treat and prevent degeneration and inflammation at the root of the problem
• Reinforces membrane and matrix structures
• Halts damage that initiates inflammatory and spasmodic reactions
• Increases membrane receptivity to hormones such as insulin, IGF and thyroxine (required for anabolic repair and healing)
• Stabilizes collagen strength and elasticity of connective tissue such as cartilage, synovium, ligaments, tendons, and dermis of the skin, etc.
• Neutralize negative impact on cellular and extra cellular structure and function
• Prevent the release of inflammation promoters
• Improves protective mucosal surface integrity (digestive, respiratory and genitourinary tract).

Recovery FX goes beyond simply addressing symptoms; it is a cell structure-oriented health science that addresses the pathogenic factors of degenerative and inflammatory conditions.

Recovery FX (and Nutricol) may be safely combined with other medications or taken on its own to help counter inflammation. It does not produce unpleasant side effects.

Recovery and Recovery FX Ingredients

The primary active ingredient in Recovery is Nutricol: a potent proprietary bioflavonoid mixture of of proven ingredients purified from grapes and tea (consisting of EGCG, theaflavin, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol), in a base of vitamin C and fructo-oligosaccharides (watersoluble fiber).

Nutricol

Nutricol (proprietary combination of grape & green tea) is the key to the success of Recovery FX. Nutricol improves the delivery of building blocks required for repair & maintenance of joint tissues, skin, blood vessels, cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, menisci and synovium. Also helps to halt damage to joint structures, damage that often leads to swelling, spasm, pain and loss of mobility.

Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM)

MSM is a naturally occurring ideal form of dietary Sulfur found in Nature. Natural sulfur is essential for repair of the joint and related tissues.

MSM has very low toxicity, with an LD50 in rats that exceeds 20,000 mg/kg body weight per day. In dogs, no toxicity was reported in a 30-day test receiving 3,000 mg/kg body weight per day, administered both orally and intravenously. There was a drop in hematocrit in the later stages of the high dose intravenous study that returned to normal post-treatment. (Metcalf, J.W. (1986) MSM status report, Eq. Vet. Data 7:332-334).

Glucosamine hydrochloride

Glucosamine is a natural building block of joint structures produced in our bodies that acts to maintain proper joint repair and fluidity.

No mortalities in mice or rats at very high levels. LD50 is greater than 5,000 mg/kg of body weight orally. (Pharmatherapeutica 1982; 3(3): 157-68) Theoretically, long-term use of very high-doses of glucosamine may result in hyperglycemia.

*Recovery has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects. Nutricol increases membrane insulin sensitivity. Biomedica recommends that Recovery is safe to administer to stable Type II diabetics.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an absolutely essential vitamin that is not produced by humans and therefore is termed essential meaning we must derive it from dietary sources. Vitamin C is essential to the production of collagen which is a key component of all joint tissues.

Dimethylglycine hydrochloride (DMG)
Trimethylglycine hydrochloride (TMG)

DMG and TMG are modified amino acids produced within our bodies that are essential for energy production and immune response. They are used to decrease lactic acid (lactic acid causes cramping and slows repair).

• Absolutely no fillers
• Hypoallergenic
• Gluten-free
• Manufactured by NHPD site licensed facility

Acute and chronic safety studies show DMG to be very safe, with an acute LD50 in rats of 7,000 mg/kg body weight, equivalent to approximately 500 grams in humans. (Braverman, Pfeiffer, The Healing Nutrients Within, Keats, 1987:251). A question of safety arose when a positive mutagenic response for DMG was reported under nitrosation conditions with sodium nitrite (Herbert et al., 1980). Later studies showed this was not true and that the nitrosating conditions without the DMG were toxic and mutagenic and there was no associated increase with an increasing concentration of DMG (Loveday and Seixas, 1981). ©2002 Biomedica Laboratories Inc ‡ Recovery is trademarked as Biostructural Medicine Recovery. 15-JULY-2004

Made famous in mind-boosting pills, sex nutrients, and anti-aging products, DMG (dimethylglycine) is used as methyl donor, defined as a substance that can transfer a methyl group [a carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms (CH3)] to another substance.

Methylation is a biochemical process that is essential to life, health, and regeneration of body cells. Vitamins, hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and antibodies depend on the transfer of methyl groups to complete their synthesis. Scientific research suggests that proper methylation of DNA may protect you from harmful mutations including cancer. Effective methylation is associated with youthful body function.

DMG appeared as a supplement in the 1960s under the names vitamin B15, pangamic acid and calcium pangamate.

TMG trimethylglycine (Betaine) is a quarternary ammonium compound that was first discovered in the juice of sugar beets and is metabolite of choline, a substrate in one of the two recycling pathways that convert homocysteine to L-methionine. Betaine may lower elevated homocysteine levels in some. Betaine may also have lipotropic and hepatoprotective activity. Betaine hydrochloride is a delivery form of hydrochloric acid and may aid in digestion in some.

Trimethylglycine TMG (also known as betaine), and Dimethylglycine DMG, are methyl donors that help in the production of several brain chemicals and hence improve mood, energy, well being, alertness, concentration, and visual clarity. Used in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Maintaining normal homocysteine levels is important for the health of the cardiovascular system. TMG has been shown to help protect the liver and raise S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-e) levels.

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate)

Epigallocatechin gallate is protecting your cells from free radical caused oxidative damage that is associated with chronic disease including cancer, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, heart diseases and accelerated aging. Epigallocatechin gallate interferes with many enzyme systems: it inhibits fast-binding and reversible fatty acid synthase, increases tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, activation of ornithine decarboxylase. Epigallocatechin gallate can protect the DNA in the human cells from ultraviolet and visible radiation-induced damage. Epigallocatechin gallate may also be effective in promoting fat oxidation and lowering body weight.

The LD50 in male rats is greater than 5,000 mg/kg and 3,090 mg/ kg in female rats. The rats were Sprauge-Dawley rats (Yamane et al. (1995) Cancer 7:1662-7). Found to be non-toxic for Rodents and Humans (Fujiki et al. 1998).

Resveratrol, Procyanidolic oligomers

The LD50* found to be greater than 5,000 mg/kg body weight in a single oral intubation to fasted male and female albino rats. (Bagchi et al. (2000) Toxicology 148:87-197)
