MEND Repair & Recover Citrus Protein Powder - Support Healing for Bones, Wounds, and Tissues

I had a very bad compound fracture of my femur. After 6 months, I was told that my femur hadn't healed any since my 3 month follow up, one surgical screw had broken, and the rod in my leg had moved, and I would likely be having another surgery to try to reset it and add plates to the fractured area that wasn't healing But he wanted to give it more time first, and see how it looked in 3 more months. My wife (a nurse) started researching alternative meds and supplements for healing and found this. So, Ihave been taking it every day for since she found it. Well, 3 months has passed and the latest xrays show that my femur is healing again, my muscle strength is much better, the rod is hasn't moved any more, and the hardware in my leg is still where it should be (aside from the one broken screw), the pain has diminished by nearly 90%, and I won't have to have any further surgery if the healing stays on course. So, it seems to have worked well for me. Expensive? Sure... but less expensive than another surgery. Taste bad? Ehhh it isnt great, but it's better than hospital food. I mix it in with fruit, juice and ice and blend it into a smoothie and it is very tolerable.

I broke my fibula and have been in a walking boot and crutches for 6 weeks. At my 6 week appt. my doctor said he didn’t see any signs of my body healing naturally and we would have to possibly consider surgery. Out of desperation I decided to try this powder to give my body a jump start. I have been drinking it religiously the past two weeks and at my last doctor appointment a few days ago he said I would be a regular shoe in a week. I don’t know what is in this stuff, but it worked like magic! My only complaint is that it taste absolutely awful. I have mixed it all different types of juice and it’s almost unbearable. I am continuing to try to take it but it makes me nauseous for hours after drinking it. Reminds me a bit of that scene in Harry Potter when he had to drink the Skele Gro potion. Gross.

My orthopedic surgeon recommended this product for recovery after a complicated foot/ankle surgery. I'm still in the follow up period, so the jury is still out and it will be hard to know if this really makes a difference. However, I'm using it faithfully since I want to give myself every possible chance of a good outcome. I hate stevia. I hate the initial taste of it, and hate the aftertaste even more. I've finally found a way to disguise the stevia flavor enough to make it tolerable. Here's my recipe: 1 scoop of MEND blended with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 to 1 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 2 tablespoons of apricot jam, and a couple of shakes of cinnamon. Normally I wouldn't put jam in a smoothie, but the jam and cinnamon make it palatable. I wish MEND would make an unsweetened version, and that way every user could sweeten it however they want. The sweeteners in this product are totally unnecessary for healing.

This was recommended to me by my surgeon after shoulder surgery. It helped speed up my recovery.

I was instructed by my MD to purchase to aid in healing for upcoming surgery.I read supplements facts but didn't really pay attention to other ingredients it has sucralose which I do not tolerate.Its advertised as natural,so beware .

I was surprised by reviews that alternated between saying it tasted horrible and it tastes great. I was hoping that it would be good and I really wanted to like this product. BUT it turned out to be a disaster for me. The label says to dissolve it in your favorite sports drink or smoothie. I don't use sports drinks and I don't drink smoothies because I don't want all that sugar in my diet. It has an orange flavor, so I thought water would be fine. I did not expect it to actually taste like an orange, but not only did it not taste orange at all, I don't know what flavor that was supposed to be. And it just didn't dissolve at all. It made a light orange colored sludge on top of my water. It smelled bad and tasted bad and I couldn't even finish one serving. I suspect that all of these issues I had could be overcome if you did use this in a smoothie. I just don't drink smoothies. So, this product is not for me and I am working with Amazon on a return.

I was hesitant to purchase this because of reading that this powder was gritty, didn’t mix well… However, IT DOES MIX WELL as long as you use a protein powder shaker cup – AND if you mix with fresh Watermelon Juice, OMG, you will have the freshest, most delicious Fruit Punch flavor ever! Finally, my surgeon said my bone quality was also superior, as was my recovery rate and I’m in my 50’s so, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product!

2/19/24 My husband fell and broke his shoulder during a snow and ice storm last month.. We couldn’t get to the hospital because of the weather. He was in so much pain. I was checking on Amazon for some type of healing products. I finally saw the container of MEND and Repair Quicker. Then after reading all the information about what was in this product such as all the excellent vitamins, nutrients and other supplements, I next read the reviews. Most were negative about the taste. I knew how much pain my husband was in so I ordered a jar of this Mend & Repair powder. I followed the directions and I added a few of my ideas. I used 8oz of Tropicana Orange Juice without pulp. I used a measuring cup/I poured 4 Oz of OJ & 1 scoop of the Healing-protein powder. I mixed it with a spoon until the mixture didn’t have any undissolved powder.. Next, I poured the other 4 oz of Orange juice in the measuring cup and stirred it up.. I added an ice cube and stirred the mixture up for about 30 more seconds. I then took a small glass that would hold the full 8oz drink and held a small flat sifter over the glass and poured the liquid mix from the measuring cup into the glass. There wasn’t any undissolved powder and my husband drank it without any issues. .He actually liked it. After drinking it for a week, he went back to his surgeon and the surgeon said his X-Rays looked good.. We definitely would recommend this product. Thank you Amazon, for having such great products available for your customers. Note: The scoop comes with the protein powder.
