Clinical Focus: Supplements for Surgery, Part 1

How I almost became a surgeon! What supplements should be avoided before surgery? Why Surgical Departments’ “hit lists” of supplements to stop may be overly-cautious and reflect inherent bias against natural products; Should you avoid fish oil, vitamin E and multivitamins completely? What herbs can interfere with drugs given during surgery? What supplements should be taken to boost immunity, protect the heart and brain, and facilitate wound-healing? What is a “pre-op IV”? You’ve heard of surgical rehab—why not do “pre-hab” i.e. build yourself up prior to surgery? Click HERE for part 2.

Finally a reason to switch your omega-3!

You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal. 

I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon. 

Using a low heat extraction technique to extract the pure amber oil that contains all-natural and abundant full-spectrum omega-3s, Omega-3 Rejuvenate preserves the natural goodness of the fish, so you get maximum benefits in every soft gel. 

Right now, you can save 20% on your order with code HOFFMAN20.
