Targeted Nutritional Support During Surgical Recovery

Formulated for the Nutritional Demands of Recovery

Reconvan* brings together a targeted combination of arginine, glutamine and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, each carefully chosen for their specific relevance to the physiological challenges that arise following major surgery or trauma.

Immune Function Support and Wound Healing

Reconvan provides 10 g arginine per recommended daily dose, alongside high levels of EPA and DHA from fish oil, together contributing to a nutritional profile developed to support immune function and promote wound healing.^1-3

Gut Integrity Support

Increased glutamine levels help support gut barrier integrity during recovery , when gastrointestinal function is most vulnerable.^4,5

Easy to Absorb

With 58% of fat as medium chain triglycerides (MCT), Reconvan is designed to support efficient energy absorption in patients whose digestive capacity may be compromised during post-surgical recovery.⁶
