IMPACT® Advanced Recovery® — Immunonutrition to Support Recovery After Major Surgery

When preparing for—or recovering from—major surgery, your body’s nutritional needs become more demanding. IMPACT® Advanced Recovery® Drink is a clinically studied immunonutrition formula designed to help support the immune system, reduce complications, and accelerate recovery.

Key Benefits & Features

• Specialized immunonutrient blend: Combines L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and dietary nucleotides to support immune function and healing.
• Clinical evidence of better outcomes: Studies have shown use of IMPACT® formulas in surgical patients led to 51% lower rates of postoperative infections and shorter hospital stays compared to standard nutrition.
• High protein: Approximately 37% of calories from protein, to help support wound repair and preserve lean body mass.
• Balanced macronutrients: Carbohydrates and fats are included to provide energy while supporting metabolic needs.
• Gluten-free & suitable for lactose intolerance: Designed to be gentle on digestion (not for individuals with galactosemia).
• For ages 14 and older (oral use): Use under medical supervision. Not for parenteral (IV) use.

How & When to Use

• Perioperative regimen: Commonly recommended 2–3 cartons per day for 5 days before surgery and for at least 5 days after surgery to support recovery.
• Medical supervision required: Because of its specialized nature, IMPACT® Advanced Recovery should be used under the guidance of a physician or dietitian.
• Serve chilled (or at room temperature if necessary), but do not heat. Heating may degrade nutrients or alter formula consistency.
• Use for critical surgical cases: Often used for patients undergoing gastrointestinal, colorectal, cardiac, gynecologic, head & neck, or orthopedic surgeries.

Shelf Life & Storage

• Shelf life: Typically 12–18 months (check “Use By” date on packaging).
• Before opening: Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place — no refrigeration needed.
• After opening: Cover tightly and refrigerate immediately. Consume within 24 hours.
• Best served chilled — cold temperature often improves taste and palatability.
