The Three Phases of Care Nutritional Support Program
Generally speaking, injury care involves three phases: acute, sub-acute, and chronic. Of course, long-term supportive care is also important to help prevent re-injury and maintain the integrity of tissues. The Three Phases of Care Nutritional Support Program addresses each of these steps in the healing process by recommending vital nutrients that optimize biochemical pathways and provide the required substrates for healthy tissue repair.
|
Phase 1 |
Acute |
Introduce nutrients to manage inflammation and modulate the chain reaction that can damage muscle, ligament, disc, and bone tissues. The primary focus is to modify the arachidonic acid cascade and fibrinogen production.
Example: High-potency proteolytic enzymes to reduce swelling and tissue damage.
Recommended products for Phase 1:
- Protrypsin - 2-4 tablets TID or QID (if vegetarian or history of ulcers, use: Traumatic Injury Formula)
- Kaprex - 2-3 tablets BID
- MyoCalm - 2-3 tablets TID or QID
External application recommendation: FASTT Patch
|
Phase 2 |
Sub-Acute |
Emphasis is on joint stability, range of motion, and tissue support. Provide tissue-specific nutrition to support maximum stability and tissue regeneration. Nutrients in—waste out!
Example: Comprehensive blend of targeted nutrients that support new connective tissue growth.
Recommended products for Phase 2:
- Collagenics - 2 tablets TID (away from food)
- Kaprex - 2 tablets BID (or as needed)
- ChondroCare - 2 tablets TID if pre-existing degeneration exists or based on severity of injury
- If needed, continue with Protrypsin
External application recommendation: FASTT Patch
|
Phase 3 |
Chronic |
Provide ongoing support for optimal tissue integrity and joint range of motion.
Example: Glucosamine and chondroitin for cartilage support and concentrated EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) omega-3's for inflammation control.
Recommended products for Phase 3:
- Alapars - 1 tablet TID
- ChondroCare - 2 tablets TID
- EPA-DHA 6:1 - 1 capsule BID
- Kaprex as needed for "flare-ups"
External application recommendation: Whitee Patch

Supportive Care |
Wellness |
Support the patient's unique biochemical individuality and develop a customized program to maintain wellness. The healthier your patients are, the less likely they are to experience reinjury, illness, and fatigue.
Example: High quality multivitamin/mineral packets containing purity-certified omega 3's to maintain overall health
The Safety Factor
As compared to conventional treatment approaches for injury and chronic pain—such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and muscle relaxants—clinical nutrition offers an approach to injury recovery and long-term wellness care that is safer and without the potential for serious adverse side effects.
But instead of leaving it up to you to research and treat yourself with over-the-counter remedies, consider the Three Phases of Care—a program that clearly spells out the best types of products and their recommended doses. This helps ensure that you don’t take potentially unsafe levels of a product or mix it with other drugs or supplements that may cause an unwanted interaction.
Of course, not all supplements are created equal. Make sure you only use products that are manufactured in a GMP-certified facility to meet the most stringent standards for safety and effectiveness.
