Recovery® is something you may want to consider
if you have just been injured, undergone surgery or
are dealing with inflammation and pain.
Recovery® is a safe, all-natural, food-based, non-drug
medicine that helps to improve your quality of life*.
The primary active ingredient in Recovery® is Nutricol®
- a potent blend of naturally-occurring substances derived
from foods that have been shown in numerous clinical
studies to profoundly affect the health of our cells.
Recovery® also contains glucosamine, MSM and TMG
to supply preformed naturally-occurring metabolites
and building blocks of body tissue.
Recovery® has been developed to improve your circulation,
speed repair and slow or halt tissue damage.
The equine version of this human product (Recovery®EQ)
has been named as the most effective equine arthritis
product on the market today, after the completion of
comparitive trials over the last year. Results from
Recovery® were compared against results when administering
other companies products containing glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, herbal combinations and
the most effective patent products from the global marketplace
today. Recovery® is now rated as the most effective
product for arthritis, tendonitis and chronic pain conditions.

and thy medicine be thy food." Hippocrates
How does Recovery® work?
To understand how Recovery® helps improve your
quality of life*, let’s take a look at how cells
behave when they are aging and/or damaged by trauma
such as injury, surgery or over-training.
When a cell is irritated or damaged, or when it begins
to age, its membranes break down. As a result, compounds
contained within the cell walls are released into the
cellular matrix. Some of these substances, such as histamine,
give rise to inflammation and associated pain.
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to
injury. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat
and moderate to intense discomfort. When a joint becomes
inflamed, you may experience any or all of these symptoms.
This can prevent the joint from moving properly, leading
to stiffness and loss of function. Researchers have
found that the “diseases of aging” such
as arthritis, osteoporosis
(brittle bone disease) and hardening
of the arteries, have similar underlying factors:
a decrease in cell stability leading to membrane damage
and subsequent release of irritating compounds.
The ingredients in Recovery® work by stabilizing
the membranes of your cells, healing existing damage
and preventing further damage. On a practical level,
this means your quality of life is improved*, and your
body is able to function better.
Purchase Recovery® - available through health food
retailers and healthcare professionals throughout Canada,

Recovery®
Recovery® is a functional food
with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects
- for natural relief of chronic inflammation and pain.
Since 1999, Recovery® has demonstrated significant
anti-inflammatory effects and has earned international
acclaim as an effective anti-inflammatory food product.
Many clinicians have noted that Recovery® has demonstrated
significant and safe anti-inflammatory effects for both
the treatment and prevention of chronic inflammation
and to improve post-trauma rehabilitation. The mainstream
drug anti-inflammatory options are corticosteroids and
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Recovery® contains Nutricol® - a potent proprietary
bioflavonoid complex consisting of EGCG, theaflavin,
proanthocyanidins and resveratrol from grape and tea.
The above anti-catabolic compounds are recognized for
their ability to halt tissue damage and inflammation.*
Available in powder (150g/350g sizes) and vegetarian
capsules (180/360 cap sizes) forms: each serving contains
150mg Nutricol®, 1,250mg MSM, 750mg Glucosamine,
300mg Vitamin C and 200mg TMG (powder form is naturally
flavoured).
Suggested use capsules:
5 capsules 2 times a day or as directed by a health
practitioner.
Suggested use powder:
Introduce gradually over a two week period to
a concentrated dose of two to three teaspoons spread
throughout the day. Mix with water or diluted juice.
After 30 - 60 days it may be possible to reduce intake
to 1/2 the concentrated dose as stated above.
When oxygen is utilized by your body, it produces
a highly reactive “exhaust” that is damaging
to your cells. The reactive molecules in this exhaust
are commonly referred to as “free radicals”
or reactive oxygen species (ROS). While some free radicals
play a necessary role in the metabolic process, an overabundance
of them is believed by many researchers to be a primary
cause of cell destruction, inflammation, degenerative
disease and aging.
(Among the diseases attributed to increased free radical
action are heart disease,
arthritis, liver disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes,
some gastro-intestinal diseases, auto-immune
disease and asthma.)
The bioactive components of Nutricol® have been
shown in numerous studies to curb the production of
free radicals in animals
and in humans. It is therefore proposed that regular
use of the product will help reduce the rate of cellular
damage attributed to free radical action.
Animals are very important members of our world. Whether
they be companion animals or working animals, their
health and well-being is often of great importance to
us. In our quest to help the animals you care about
live long, productive and pain-free lives, Purica has
developed Recovery®SA
for small companion animals such as cats and dogs, and
Recovery®EQ
for larger animals such as horses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Recovery®
safe?
When developing products, Purica makes effectiveness
and safety the primary concerns. Recovery® is a
food-based non-drug medicine and has an ingredient profile
taken from foods (grapes, green tea) that have a long
history of being consumed on a daily basis for prolonged
periods of time by people throughout the world and are
considered very safe.
Does Recovery®
really work and how can it help me?
Recovery has a very long history of getting
results where all other products may not. Recent lengthy
comparative field trials conducted by Veterinarians
from the most reputable Equine Consumer Reports Veterinary
Journal in the world (Horse Journal® in Connecticut)
indicate that Recovery® is "THE Best Performer
Overall". Horses do not experience the placebo
effect. Results in the equine trials showed that the
test animals demonstrated 80% - 100% improvements, monitored
via flexion tests, in only 3 - 5 weeks time. If Recovery®
can do this for horses imagine what Recovery® developed
for humans may do for you.
Something to think about:
The horse industry is the most competitive market in
the world for results-oriented natural anti-inflammatory
products because anti-inflammatory drugs are not allowed
in competitive horse sports. Horsemen require that competitive
horses be free to move optimally or they will lose competitions
and that means loss of money. You can bet that horsemen
and veterinarians alike are very progressive in the
area of pain management and post trauma healing. Recovery®
was rated as the #1 product on the market by the most
respected Consumer Reports Veterinary Journal in the
world. Results coupled with safety are of primary importance
and Recovery® delivers where it counts.
How much does Recovery®
cost?
The typical cost of Recovery® is approximately $30
- $60 per month.
Can Recovery® be taken with drugs?
Recovery® is a safe, effective, all natural, non-herbal
product that has been developed so that it is safe to
complement other drugs.
Feedback indicates that high doses of ibuprofen may
inhibit the activity of Recovery® in some users.
Lowering the dosage of ibuprofen used may improve the
effects of Recovery®.
Where can Recovery®
be purchased?
You can purchase Recovery® at your health retailer,
health care professional or call toll free at 1-86-Medicine
(1-866-334-2463) for more information about Recovery®
and how to purchase it for yourself. For a list of available
