Question: Hey,
I’m an avid bike racer and have been using the CAH liquid multivitamin for some time now. Great product. I had the misfortune of tearing up my labrum on the right shoulder and jut returned from surgery, which went well. I’d like to know what supplements or nutritional items could be helpful in speeding and ensuring a full and strong recovery. Would you be able to make some recommendations or point me to a few things tat may be helpful?
Many thanks!
Ben
Answer: Ben,
I’ve had two shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery due to motocross injuries – I have become quite informed about what it takes to heal back to pre-injury status . The key to recovery, nutritionally speaking is: whey protein @ 1 scoop, tons of vitamin C & rutin (I love our formula – Power – C @ 4 per day), and if you are taking our Liquid Power, double-up for a few weeks. A product that will also be very beneficial is MSM @ 2 grams per day.
As soon as you are able to move your arm, get a Theraband and use it everyday. Here is a great exercise instruction sheet.
Good luck,

Dear Dr. E
I can offer one bit of testimonial. Within the past few months, I had ordered liquid glucosamine for myself as well as my beloved boxer dog, George. I am a runner and would suffer knee aches and as a result had to cut back the amount of running. Liquid glucosamine has seemed to minimize the aches and pains to the point where I was able to resume my normal routine. More importantly, George was diagnosed with arthritis in his knee and hips as well as hip dysplasia. As a result, George daily walked with a limp and was told by the vet that surgery is inevitable. As surgery may still be the inevitable, George’s limp no longer seems to exist and the vet’s explanation is that the glucosamine has made tremendous improvements and very well may prolong George’s strength.
