MEND Repair & Recover Citrus Protein Powder - Support Healing for Bones, Wounds, and Tissues

I had a very bad compound fracture of my femur. After 6 months, I was told that my femur hadn't healed any since my 3 month follow up, one surgical screw had broken, and the rod in my leg had moved, and I would likely be having another surgery to try to reset it and add plates to the fractured area that wasn't healing But he wanted to give it more time first, and see how it looked in 3 more months. My wife (a nurse) started researching alternative meds and supplements for healing and found this. So, Ihave been taking it every day for since she found it. Well, 3 months has passed and the latest xrays show that my femur is healing again, my muscle strength is much better, the rod is hasn't moved any more, and the hardware in my leg is still where it should be (aside from the one broken screw), the pain has diminished by nearly 90%, and I won't have to have any further surgery if the healing stays on course. So, it seems to have worked well for me. Expensive? Sure... but less expensive than another surgery. Taste bad? Ehhh it isnt great, but it's better than hospital food. I mix it in with fruit, juice and ice and blend it into a smoothie and it is very tolerable.

My orthopedic surgeon is very nutrition oriented focusing on both foods that help the body heal and that are anti-inflammatory. He feels inflammation is what causes pain during recovery. He suggested using Mend the week before and for a month after my knee replacement.Flavor reminds me of Tang but mixed with lots of ice is palatable. One canister was enough for twice a day for the five weeks.Friends who have had same surgery can’t believe that I have needed no opioids, very few of the non opioid prescription pain med and used Tylenol. I have recovered more quickly than they did. Is it the Mend? I can’t say for sure but I feel it was a good investment.I would recommend it for anyone working to recover from major surgery if you can afford it.

It mixes well. Not sure if it helped in recovery but I did drink it. Full of vitamins so it can’t hurt .

2/19/24 My husband fell and broke his shoulder during a snow and ice storm last month.. We couldn’t get to the hospital because of the weather. He was in so much pain. I was checking on Amazon for some type of healing products. I finally saw the container of MEND and Repair Quicker. Then after reading all the information about what was in this product such as all the excellent vitamins, nutrients and other supplements, I next read the reviews. Most were negative about the taste. I knew how much pain my husband was in so I ordered a jar of this Mend & Repair powder. I followed the directions and I added a few of my ideas. I used 8oz of Tropicana Orange Juice without pulp. I used a measuring cup/I poured 4 Oz of OJ & 1 scoop of the Healing-protein powder. I mixed it with a spoon until the mixture didn’t have any undissolved powder.. Next, I poured the other 4 oz of Orange juice in the measuring cup and stirred it up.. I added an ice cube and stirred the mixture up for about 30 more seconds. I then took a small glass that would hold the full 8oz drink and held a small flat sifter over the glass and poured the liquid mix from the measuring cup into the glass. There wasn’t any undissolved powder and my husband drank it without any issues. .He actually liked it. After drinking it for a week, he went back to his surgeon and the surgeon said his X-Rays looked good.. We definitely would recommend this product. Thank you Amazon, for having such great products available for your customers. Note: The scoop comes with the protein powder.

Ugh! I’ve been so out of it since my ankle surgery (strong meds) and pretty much riding alone through this journey. I was so excited to have found a product like this but (my fault) I did not pay attention to the ingredients and paid what, $70? For this power that contains MILK. =[ First of all it tastes SO AWFUL, even mixing it within a green juice smoothie (which is intense with its celery and ginger and banana) can still taste this awful medicine kind of flavor. And I am pretty good with dealing with gross flavors or very bland flavors. This one though took me out! Not only am I Vegan but due to other underlying medical conditions (Hidradenitis Suppurativa aka HS), dairy is a HUGE no-no! I’m so upset because I’ve just finished a 90 day course of heavy antibiotics that had me nauseous for pretty much the entire time just to get new and recurring flares back! So it tastes bad and has dairy. Huge fails for me. I really wish I could return the product or at least get some kind of refund but unfortunately NO REFUNDS on this. </3What do I do with this?Donate it? Resell it? Throw it in the trash?

I started drinking this on doctors orders. The citrus flavor is lousy on its own and even worse with milk. Orange and pineapple juices help. I found cranberry worked best.Doesn't mix easily. I use a stick blender. A little fruit and yogurt makes a passable smoothie.

taste ok

I never leave reviews, but feel like for the cost of this stuff, I would share my experience. This was suggested by my surgeon after join replacement. All I can say is BELIEVE THE REVIEWS that say it tastes a.w.e.f.u.l. I regularly use protein powders and understand that not everything can taste "great". But, no matter what I mixed it with, and I tried a lot, I could not choke it down. Find something else.
