Barrett Recovery | Optimal Recovery | Duo

BEFORE:

• BEFORE is a pre-op surgical recovery optimizer made from natural ingredients. The best post-operative care actually starts before the surgeon performs the procedure; preparing the body for surgery significantly decreases recovery time and lowers the risks of complications.f
• Dr. Barrett specially formulated this supplement to reduce the risks of surgical complications, minimize negative interactions during the surgery, and shorten the injury period after surgery. The ingredients included in BEFORE can provide more necessary nutrients than diet alone.

AFTER:

• AFTER‘s all-in-one formula consists of a blend of antioxidants, amino acids, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and natural anti-inflammatories. AFTER utilizes natural ingredients for a holistic approach to recovery, helping the body detox from anesthesia while reducing swelling, bruising, and inflammation. Bromelain, a group enzyme produced in the stem of the pineapple plant, is known to have pain-relieving properties, providing a natural solution for pain management (AFTER is recommended as a supplement, not an alternative for prescribed medication). The ingredients included in AFTER can provide more necessary nutrients than diet alone.
• AFTER is known to increase immune function, helping the body heal itself while also fighting off bacteria and other illnesses, effectively minimizing the chance of infection. This product optimizes recovery without unsafe ingredients, extreme dosages, or unnecessary additives.

BEFORE:

• Take four (4) capsules twice daily for fifteen days before any medical procedure
• 15 servings per bottle (120 capsules)

AFTER:

• Take (5) capsules twice a day for 30 days after any medical procedure
• 30 servings per bottle (300 capsules)

BEFORE:

• Vitamin A (as Retinyl Palmitate): Vitamin A is required in the formation of skin and bones. It assists in immune system support, cell growth, and the production of blood vessels.
• Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid): Vitamin C is a naturally occurring water-soluble vitamin required for collagen production. It’s also an antioxidant that helps the body regenerate other antioxidants in the body.
• Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol): Cholecalciferol is a type of Vitamin D found in animal-based foods or develops in the skin after UV light exposure, that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus and can be used as an anti-inflammatory.
• Thiamin (Vitamin B1 )(as Thiamine mononitrate): Thiamin, a form of vitamin B1, supports the growth and function of the body’s cells. Small amounts of thiamin occur naturally in the liver, but additional supplements are recommended to reap the full benefits of vitamin B1.
• Vitamin B2 (as Riboflavin): One of the eight types of vitamin B, riboflavin helps the body convert food into fuel to give us energy. It supports metabolism, the production of antibodies, and cellular respiration.
• Niacin (as Niacinamide): Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B that can be found in food but is often taken as a supplement as an anti-inflammatory for the skin. Dermatologists recommend it to treat acne.
• Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCL): Although vitamin B6 is not naturally produced in the body, ingesting it through food or supplements helps create red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
• Folate (as Folic Acid): Folate/folic acid is a type of vitamin B9 and is one of the most common health supplements, as it’s an essential nutrient. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9 and promotes cell growth and function.
• Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin): A naturally occurring form of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin is a vital nutrient that supports brain function, nerve tissue, and red blood cells.
• Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium D-pantothenate): Pantothenic acid is a variety of vitamin B5 that helps the body break down fats and carbohydrates into energy.

• Zinc (15.8mg Zinc Picolinate): Though the body only needs trace amounts of it, zinc is a mineral crucial in creating DNA, thus assisting with healing damaged tissue. It’s also proven to support a healthy immune system.
• Selenium (as L-Selenemethionine): Like zinc, selenium is a trace mineral used in small amounts to support cellular signaling and control.
• Copper (as Copper Amino Acid Chelate): More commonly known as a malleable metal, copper has numerous health benefits, including supporting the body’s production of red blood cells and collagen and having strong anti-bacterial properties.
• L-Arginine HCl: L-Arginine HCl is an amino acid in meats, fish, and nuts that helps the body build protein. The body naturally produces L-arginine HCl, but increasing intake through supplements or diet helps to repair damaged tissue.
• L-Glutamine: Glutamine is the most abundant naturally-produced amino acid in human blood. It’s necessary for the production of protein and is transferred via blood to different organs.
• Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex: Citrus bioflavonoids are compounds found specifically in the pulp and rind of citrus fruits. Though they aren’t technically a vitamin or mineral, these compounds improve the skin’s healing ability.
• Probiotic Blend (14 living strains): In order to operate properly, the gut needs healthy bacteria and yeast. Probiotics provide live organisms that promote digestion, immune support, and the production of naturally occurring vitamins.

• Folate (as Folic Acid): Folate/folic acid is a type of vitamin B9 and is one of the most common health supplements, as it’s an essential nutrient. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9 and promotes cell growth and function.
• Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin): A naturally occurring form of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin is a vital nutrient that supports brain function, nerve tissue, and red blood cells.
• Biotin: Biotin is the popular name for vitamin B7 and assists in converting food into energy, and keeps the hair, skin, eyes, and nervous system healthy.
• Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium D-pantothenate): Pantothenic acid is a variety of vitamin B5 that helps the body break down fats and carbohydrates for energy.
