The evidence

The published research behind each ingredient in Surgical+. Every link opens the full study on PubMed.

01

Tissue repair & wound healing

Egg membrane protein (500 mg)

A natural matrix of glycosaminoglycans including chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, studied for connective tissue support.

Adults with knee osteoarthritis taking 500 mg daily saw improved pain and stiffness from as early as day 10, in a randomised placebo-controlled trial. Ruff et al., Clinical Rheumatology, 2009 ↗

Vitamin C (70 mg · 175% RDI)

Required for normal collagen formation, plus antioxidant and immune function.

A randomised clinical trial found vitamin C supplementation supported soft-tissue healing measures following tooth extraction. Pisalsitsakul et al., Int J Dent, 2022 ↗

Zinc (1.2 mg · 10% RDI)

Involved in protein synthesis, cell division, immune function and normal wound healing.

A randomised surgical study found zinc supplementation corrected the post-operative drop in circulating zinc. Faure et al., Biol Trace Elem Res, 1991 ↗
02

Muscle preservation & recovery

Pea, faba bean & brown rice protein (24 g)

A sprouted, fermented blend providing a complete amino acid profile in an easy-to-digest, dairy-free format.

A systematic review of 14 randomised trials (611 patients) found protein supplementation after orthopaedic surgery generally reduced muscle loss. George et al., Sports Med Health Sci, 2024 ↗
03

Immune system support

HydroCurc® curcumin (200 mg)

A dispersible curcumin using LipiSperse® technology for improved bioavailability.

An 80-participant randomised double-blind study found HydroCurc® supported reduced joint pain scores over two weeks. Briskey et al., Med Cannabis Cannabinoids, 2022 ↗

Bromelain (1200 GDU)

A proteolytic enzyme group derived from pineapple.

A systematic review and meta-analysis found oral bromelain supported reduced pain by the seventh day after surgery. Mendes et al., J Oral Maxillofac Surg, 2019 ↗
04

Gut integrity & immune function

L-glutamine (4 g)

An amino acid used heavily during physical stress, particularly by intestinal and immune cells.

A randomised controlled study in surgical patients found oral glutamine supported intestinal permeability measures in the first post-operative week. Quan et al., World J Gastroenterol, 2004 ↗

PHGG dietary fibre (3 g)

A soluble, fermentable fibre supporting bowel regularity and the colonic environment.

A randomised double-blind trial found PHGG helped normalise stool form and increased beneficial bacteria including Bifidobacterium. Yasukawa et al., Nutrients, 2019 ↗

Postbiotics (12.5 billion cells)

A five-strain inactivated microbial preparation included to support the gut ecosystem without requiring live organisms.

05

Nervous system & sleep support

Magnesium (32 mg · 10% RDI)

Contributes to normal nervous system function, muscle function and energy metabolism.

A systematic review and meta-analysis examined oral magnesium supplementation and sleep outcomes in older adults. Mah & Pitre, BMC Complement Med Ther, 2021 ↗

Algal omega-3 (50 mg DHA)

A plant-sourced structural omega-3 concentrated in neuronal membranes.

A large randomised study in older adults found DHA supplementation supported learning and memory outcomes. Yurko-Mauro et al., Alzheimers Dement, 2010 ↗
06

Sustained energy & reduced fatigue

Isomaltulose (6 g)

A fully digestible carbohydrate with a slower rate of digestion than sucrose.

A systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed isomaltulose produces a lower, more sustained glucose and insulin response than standard sugars. Xie et al., Advances in Nutrition, 2022 ↗

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about Nouraide Surgical+ Post-Op.

When do I start taking Nouraide?
Begin 24–48 hours after surgery, once your surgeon has cleared you to eat and drink normally. Always follow your surgical team's specific guidance.
How long should I take it?
For best effect, take Nouraide for 2–12 weeks post-operatively. Your healthcare team can advise the right duration for your specific recovery.
Is Nouraide vegetarian and dairy free?
Yes. Nouraide Surgical+ Post-Op is 100% vegetarian and contains no dairy ingredients. Please note it does contain egg (as hydrolysed egg membrane protein), and is gluten free and soy free.
Can I take it alongside my other medications?
Always consult your surgeon or healthcare team before adding any nutritional supplement alongside prescribed medications.
How does it taste?
Nouraide is available in a natural vanilla flavour, designed to mix easily with water, milk alternatives, or your favourite smoothie.
Do I need to have had surgery to use Nouraide?
No. While Nouraide is specifically formulated for post-operative orthopaedic recovery, the ingredients that support muscle preservation, inflammation, gut health and energy are equally relevant for anyone recovering from a musculoskeletal injury or procedure. As always, consult your healthcare team before starting any new nutritional supplement.
Who should not take Nouraide?
Nouraide is not suitable for children under 15 years or pregnant women. It contains egg, so it is not suitable for anyone with an egg allergy. If you have a known allergy, kidney or liver condition, or are taking medicines that affect bleeding or clotting, speak with your healthcare team first.
