Nutrition and supplement support
Feed the repair process
Injury can reduce activity and appetite, but healing still requires adequate energy and protein. Include a protein source regularly and avoid an aggressive calorie deficit during a demanding recovery period unless medically directed.
A practical food plan is usually more useful than a long supplement list. If chewing, appetite, dietary restrictions or illness makes eating difficult, address that specific barrier.
Vitamin C and collagen
Vitamin C participates in collagen formation. Fruit and vegetables are useful sources, and a deficiency should be corrected. Large doses have not been shown to turn TB-500 into a more effective treatment.
Collagen or gelatin can supplement your protein intake, but they do not replace complete protein foods or progressive rehabilitation. They are not established TB-500 enhancers. Record changes separately so improvement is not automatically credited to the peptide.
Vitamin D, calcium and zinc
Bone injuries and muscle problems may prompt review of vitamin D and calcium intake. Zinc is involved in normal healing, but routine high-dose use can cause copper deficiency. Supplement according to a reason, not because every recovery peptide supposedly requires the same minerals.
Creatine and changing activity
Creatine may be relevant to strength training in an appropriate rehabilitation stage, but it is not a substitute for tissue protection or the rehabilitation plan. Record its use and any associated weight change.
Avoid disguising symptoms
Anti-inflammatory supplements, pain medicines and new training methods can all alter the experience of pain. Keep them in the record. Less pain after several simultaneous changes does not prove that damaged tissue has recovered faster.
