What supps are good to take to help heal a soft tissue injury?

[Tommy Gunn]

As you all know I am recovering from surgery that I had on May 9, 2006 to repair a ruptured pectoral muscle. What supps can I take that will help heal this injury? I will not take any HGH, AAS, or pro hormones though.

Right now I am taking a multi vitamin and vitamin c caps in the morning and a slow acting protein shake with 1 tbsp of flax oil and 1 teaspoon of glutamine peptides in it before I go to bed. I am also taking 800 mg of motrin 3 times a day. I'm drinking plenty of water and getting alot of sleep. Not to mention I'm keeping my protein intake high.

Do you think it's possible to make a full recovery without taking any HGH, AAS, or pro hormones? In case it matters, I'm 26 years old.

Flax is supposed to help tissue heal faster so u might want to take more.

I've been taking:

1) 1 multi vitamin a day (at breakfast time)
2) 1 500 mg vitamin c cap a day (at breakfast time)
3) 1 scoop of whey protein mixed with 1 teaspoon of glutamine peptides and 1 cup of egg beaters (at breakfast time) along with my oatmeal
4) 2 scoops of Micellean (a slow acting protein) with 1 teaspoon of glutamine peptides and 1 tbsp of flax oil at bed time
5) 800 mg of motrin with food 3 times a day (breakfast, dinner, and at bedtime)

I've also been drinking alot of water, getting plenty of sleep, and eating alot of good protein, healthy carbs, and EFA's.

Am I doing the right thing to promote good speedy healing?

Of course its possible to recover without the use of anabolics. The info above has it covers using things such as Glutamine, Vic C etc and some Fish oils and Arnica may help with the inflammation also
