Mend Joint Replacement

Product Type: Medical Food
Flavor: Tropical
Servings per Container: 21 Servings

Product Description:
Mend™ Joint Replacement is a clinically validated medical food designed for nutritional management before and after joint replacement surgery. Powered by a precise blend of essential amino acids (EAAs), this formulation is shown to preserve muscle mass, enhance recovery of strength and function, and modulate post-surgical inflammation.

Surgical stress increases the body’s protein turnover and inflammatory response, often leading to muscle atrophy that delays recovery. Mend™ Joint Replacement addresses these metabolic challenges by delivering clinically tested EAAs at a therapeutic dose to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support tissue repair during the perioperative period.

Recommended Use:
Take one serving (1 scoop) twice daily—begin one week before surgery and continue for two weeks after surgery. Mix directly into water, juice, or smoothies. Do not take the morning of surgery.

Benefits

 
Ingredients
  • Preserves muscle volume and mitigates loss of strength post-surgery
  • Supports faster return to function by enhancing muscle protein synthesis
  • Reduces inflammatory stress response to promote optimal recovery
  • Dairy-free and formulated from clinically studied, bioavailable amino acids
Backed by randomized, placebo-controlled trials in orthopedic recovery settings		   L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Valine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine, L-Methionine

 

 
Clinical Insight
  Multiple clinical trials demonstrate that perioperative EAA supplementation supports improved muscle volume and quadriceps strength, and reduces inflammatory biomarkers after total knee arthroplasty. These outcomes contribute to shorter rehabilitation timelines and improved long-term mobility.

Behind the Science

Formula backed by Science +

Research.

When taken one week before and two weeks after surgery, Joint Replacement improves your ability to walk and move around after surgery. Learn More.

Taking Joint Replacement reduces muscle loss in the front and back of your thigh muscles. The improved muscle volume leads to better mobility after surgery. Learn More.

Protecting muscle loss immediately before and after surgery offers long-lasting benefits in muscle volume and strength. Learn More.

Total knee replacement leads to loss of muscle volume and impairs how the muscle cells work after surgery. Learn More.

When taken for one week before surgery, Joint Replacement gets your muscles ready for surgery by increasing the number of muscle satellite cells. Muscle satellite cells are like little growth and repair machines that help our muscles recover and get stronger after surgery. When muscles are damaged during surgery the satellite cells are activated and begin to divide. This allows for the production of new muscle cells, which then fuse with existing muscle fibers to make them bigger and stronger. MJR also improves the inflammatory environment in muscle cells by decreasing the type of white blood cell responsible for inflammation and increasing the type of white blood cell responsible for helping with repair and recovery. Learn More.

 

 

 

Ingredients researched and proven to prevent muscle atrophy and weakness clinical nutrition designed for optimal recovery

L-Isoleucine

An essential branched-chain amino acid that promotes

protein synthesis & glucose uptake

L-Valine

Amino acid that works with isoleucine & leucine to promote growth, repair tissue & provide muscle energy

L-Histidine

Amino acid obtained from dietary sources; a proteinogenic amino acids, helping to synthesize proteins
     

L-Phenylalanine

Amino acid that must be obtained from dietary sources

& serves as a building block for various proteins

L-Methionine

A dietary essential amino acid that plays unique roles, both in protein structure & metabolism

L-Leucine

The branched-chain amino acid most beneficial in stimulating synthesis for muscle tissue building
     

L-Lysine

An amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis

of proteins. Important in supplying energy to muscles

L-Tryptophan

An essential amino acid that helps the body to make proteins and certain brain signaling chemicals

L-Threonine

Supports synthesis of glycine and serine to assist in production of collagen, elastin and muscle tissue

 

 

It is formulated to preserve muscle mass, reduce inflammation, and promote faster functional recovery following joint replacement surgery.

No. It is a medical food intended to complement a balanced diet, not to serve as a general nutrition product.

Yes, when used under medical supervision. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and contains only clinically tested ingredients.
