VitaMedica^® Programs for Healthy Skin and Postsurgical Healing

VitaMedica products are physician-formulated nutraceuticals administered under the guidance of medical professionals to help their patients recover after surgery and maintain surgical results.

VitaMedica's products include vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids (EFAs) to support wound healing, boost immune function and stimulate tissue growth.

The North Shore Center for Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery offers three VitaMedica programs.

1. Recovery Support (Surgery) Program

This one-month program includes nutrients that speed wound healing, support the immune system, prevent infection, minimize inflammation and reduce bruising and swelling.

• Clinical Support Morning Formulation supports energy levels throughout the day.
  
• Clinical Support Evening Formulation supports rest and relaxation in the evening. Chronotherapy (providing the right nutrients at the right time of day) ensures optimal absorption and assimilation of vitamin C and the B-complex (to counteract stress, support energy levels and promote glowing skin, strong nails and shiny hair).
  
• Vitamin A, vitamin C, beta-carotene, zinc and copper promote wound healing and tissue growth repair. Vitamin A and zinc also boost immune system function.
  
• High levels of selenium, bioflavonoids and other antioxidants deactivate unstable free radicals that result from surgery.
  
• Bromelain with quercetin helps reduce inflammation and inhibits histamine.

2. Essentials Formula

Each daily packet (two tablets, two softgels) is formulated with vitamins, minerals and omega-3s to promote health, glowing skin, strong nails and shiny hair.

• Energy Support tablets are formulated with the B-complex to support energy levels throughout the day.
• Bone Support tablets are formulated with calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K and boron to support bone and joint health.
• Organic Flax Seed Oil provides an excellent source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) to lubricate joints and support supple-looking skin.
• Omega-3 fish oil supports cardiovascular health and brain function.

3. Multi-Vitamin & Mineral

This iron-free formulation includes a broad range of vitamins and minerals to support bone, joint and cardiovascular health, and maintain surgical results. Tablets are coated to slide down easily.

• Energy Support enhances energy levels throughout the day.
• Bone Support supports rest and relaxation in the evening. The use of chronotherapy ensures optimal absorption and assimilation of vitamin C and the B-complex.
• Niacin increases favorable HDL cholesterol levels and, to a lesser extent, lowers unfavorable LDL and triglyceride levels.
• Vitamins B6, B12 and folate support energy levels, promote glowing skin, strong nails and shiny hair, and counteract deficiencies that can lead to high homocysteine levels, a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
• Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K and boron support bone and joint health.
• Chelation, a process that attaches an amino acid to a mineral, enhances mineral absorption.
