General

Why do I need MEND?

Nutrition is not always enough. Your daily diet, even if nutritionally optimized, will probably still not bring you all the nutrients you need, especially when preparing or recovering from surgery! There are simply some nutrients that your body needs, that you cannot derive solely from food, and must be supplemented. Plus, it is extremely hard to create a well balanced diet everyday, that contains all the nutrients you need. That’s where MEND comes in!

 

MEND is developed to bring you all the nutrients you need for many specific situations in one bottle. Repair + Recover and Joint Replacement contain all the nutrients you need to prepare for, and recover from, injury and surgery. Regenerate contains the 33 nutrients your body needs for optimal daily health.  And Cosmetic has all the nutrients you need to prepare for, and enhance recovery from, cosmetic procedures, as well as all you need for healthy and glowing skin!

I’m not sure which product is right for me. Can you recommend one for me?

We totally understand that it might be difficult to find which MEND product is right for you! We’ve created this graphic to help you make a decision.

Has MEND done any clinical testing?

Yes! As a science driven company, MEND continues to invest in research and only uses clinically proven ingredients. We leverage science as we strive to develop our formulas with natural compounds that have the same scientific rigor as pharmaceutical drugs. Want to learn more about the studies we’ve done?

How should I take my MEND?

We recommend that you blend MEND into a smoothie to help aid absorption of nutrients. There are a number of smoothie recipes provided on our website.

MEND is not meant to replace a meal.

How soon before surgery should I take MEND?

We recommend that you start taking MEND 2 weeks prior to surgery, and continue taking MEND for at least 2 weeks after surgery or injury. For optimal results, we suggest to continue taking MEND for 6 weeks post surgery or injury. 

How many servings are in a MEND bottle?

MEND Regenerate and MEND Cosmetic contain 20 servings. If you follow our protocol of taking one serving, 5 times a week, this will last you about a month! 

 

MEND Repair + Recover contains 30 servings. Following our protocol of taking one serving a day, this will last you about a month!

 

MEND Joint Replacement contains 21 servings. Following our protocol of taking two servings a day, for one week pre-, and at least 2 weeks post-surgery, the recommended two tubs of MEND will last you three weeks. 

Are MEND’s products FDA-approved?

By law, the FDA does not approve dietary supplements. However, MEND’s products are manufactured in accordance with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) in accordance to the code of federal regulations title 21 part 111 for dietary supplements, to ensure quality and safety. 

Is it possible to get all the vitamins and minerals I need through nutrition?

Nutrition is not always enough. Your daily diet, even if nutritionally optimized, will probably still not bring you all the nutrients you need, especially when preparing or recovering from surgery! There are simply some nutrients that your body needs, that you cannot derive solely from food, and must be supplemented. Plus, it is extremely hard to create a well balanced diet everyday that contains all the nutrients you need. That’s where MEND comes in!

What is the best way to store MEND supplements?

It’s best to keep your MEND in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, with a tightly secured lid (to avoid exposure to moisture which can cause clumping). Do make sure though, that you keep it in a place that reminds you to take your MEND daily!

When do my products expire?

You can find the expiration date of your MEND printed on the bottom of the bottle. 

Ingredients & Dietary Restrictions

Why does MEND reformulate a product?

MEND is committed to continuous improvement and as such is constantly studying ways to improve our products. Be it improving the formulation to enhance the benefits, or simply to improve flavors to make taking MEND even more enjoyable, we’re always looking for ways to improve our products. 

Does MEND contain dairy, gluten, or nuts?

MEND is completely gluten free! Our Repair + Recover, Regenerate and Cosmetic products do contain whey protein, which means they do contain dairy from milk. MEND Regenerate also contains MCT powder, which means it contains tree nuts from coconut.

Is MEND vegetarian/vegan friendly?

Our supplements are vegetarian, but not vegan. Our products contain whey protein, derived from milk, making the products not vegan. We are working on bringing you a vegan option soon! Let us know which product you need first and how you would prepare it.
