Pre op supplements?

Hi everyone!

Has anyone taken any pre op supplements and had a good experience with them? I read on a few forums that taking quercetin, arnica and bromelain all reduce bruising and swelling and speed up recovery? I think bromelain is found in pineapple though so I guess you could just eat loads of that before your op lol and see if that makes a difference? xx

I took arnica, I started 6 days before my op. I had no bruising whatsoever x

I was told not to eat pineapple it was only cus my partner bought me some fruit to eat after my op and the nurse says it’s very acidic and can cause your incisions to become sore and cause stinging round the releveant area ? But aslong as your healthy you should be ok brushing is a natural process to the trauma on your body (surgery)

Don’t want to offend anyone if it works for some people I’m all for it ????

I’m taking arnica and vitamin c every day for two weeks before surgery, will let you know after if I think they made any difference x

I recommend Phd diet protein whey drinks. Available from Boots. I have had a good recovery with hardly any bruising .
