Rapid loss of muscle mass & strength is seen following injury. This is further compounded by the stress of surgery.

Muscle Loss Research
Muscle loss, whether due to aging, inactivity, or recovery from injury or surgery, poses significant challenges to maintaining strength, mobility, and overall quality of life. At XR®, we are committed to advancing the understanding of muscle preservation and regeneration through cutting-edge research.

What is Carbohydrate Loading in Surgery?
Preoperative carbohydrate loading is emerging as an evidence-based strategy to improve patient outcomes and expedite recovery. Enhanced recovery programs have implemented carbohydrate loading as an effective nutritional strategy aimed at reducing post-operative stress and improving the recovery process.
Space Nutrition
NASA research shows that certain nutrients can help astronauts avoid muscle loss in zero gravity. Clinical data now proves this with targeted nutritional supplementation. These supplements preserve muscle mass andboost strength after surgery.
