What it is

Arnica-Bromelain Complex is the oral part of Silagen’s Rapid Recovery System. Silagen presents it alongside its topical gels for post-procedure bruising and swelling.

A supplement is not the same as a topical gel. It enters your body, so timing around surgery, other medicines and your health history all matter. That is why this guide does not suggest a dose or a start day.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I take?

Follow the bottle’s directions only if your surgeon agrees. We do not give doses.

Can I start before surgery?

Ask your surgeon and anesthesia team. Many supplements need to be paused around surgery.

Does it replace the topical gel?

They are different products. Silagen markets them together as a system.
