Full mechanism + edge-case redundancy..Comprehensive coverage of every documented pathway.
Recovery from illness (flu, COVID, surgery, hospitalization) loses muscle mass and depletes nutritional reserves faster than people realize. This stack rebuilds protein synthesis (whey + leucine), restores micronutrient status (zinc + D3 + B-complex), and supports mitochondrial recovery (CoQ10 + L-carnitine).
What it's for
Adults recovering from significant illness, surgery, or hospitalization. Long-COVID symptoms.
Not for:Active disease needs medical management first. Not a substitute for physical therapy where indicated.
