XR® is currently conducting clinical trials in evaluating the impact of targeted nutritional supplementation in trauma patients post surgery and injury.

  • Reduced Post Op Complications and Muscle Wasting After Fracture Fixation

    Patients who received 2 wks of Amino Acid supplementation after surgery were shown to have significantly lower complication rates:

    *Nonunion rates:

    5.1% tx group vs 13.2% control

    *Over-all complication rates:

    30.5% tx group vs. 43.8% control

    *Preserved muscle mass at 6 wks:

    -.33 kg tx group vs –0.9 kg control

  • Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Supplementation Reduces Postoperative Muscle Wasting in Orthopedic Trauma Patients

    Patients randomized to standard nutrition had significant FFM loss compared to those receiving additional CEAA supplementation 6 weeks after surgery.

    *Control was −1.28 kg (P = .004)

    vs.

    *Among CEAA was -.56 kg

    At 12 weeks, the control group decreased FFM further from baseline while the CEAA group mostly recovered their loss.
