Our journey began over a decade ago when Jason Watkin, then a
student of molecular biology, began to question the precise
mechanisms that cause the cells of the body to age and break
down. Recognizing that much of this cellular breakdown was
due to oxygen-induced molecular instability, Jason set about
developing a formulation to inhibit this instability. The
formulation, later named Recovery®, consisted of plant compounds
that are known to protect the plant from physical and chemical
aggressors.
Jason’s subsequent research took him to Holland, where
he had the opportunity to test the efficacy of his formulation
on many of the European community's professional ballet dancers.
Like many sports, ballet often results in pulled muscles and
tendons, particularly the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
at the outer edge of the kneecap. So vital is this ligament
to the proper movement of the leg, that damage sustained to
it can result in loss of mobility for a year or more. This
is often enough to end a dancer’s career.
After taking Recovery® for a few weeks, doctors assessing the
effects of the formulation noted a significant reduction in
expected recovery times. Moreover, dancers who would normally
be troubled by stiffness and loss of mobility following the
natural or surgical repair
of the ACL, were able to quickly regain mobility and return
to the stage.
Following his return from Holland, Jason was also able to
work with equine veterinarians, horse breeders and racers.
Horses are subject to numerous problems in their legs due
to their relatively heavy body weight. Their risk of injury
increases if they are raced or jumped. In much the same way
as with the ballet dancers, horses also recovered more quickly
and succesfully from injuries and surgical
intervention.
Jason and his team continued to work on the formulation and later
made it available to the public through pharmacies and veterinary
practices. Due to Recovery®’s unique mechanism of
action, he called the product a Biostructural Medicine—a
new term for a remarkable new branch of science.
Biostructural medicines work in two distinct ways: by increasing
the cell’s receptivity to anabolic (building) compounds
such as insulin and thyroid hormone, and by reducing catabolic
(destroying) action due to oxidation. The effects of treatment
with Biostructural Medicines are improved circulation, improved
drainage and improved healing. These medicines are further
defined as DMAC's (Disease Modifying Anti-Catabolic agents).
Over the past decade, chemists and researchers at Biomedica Laboratories
have focused not only on continual improvements to the Recovery®
formulation, but also on the introduction of other innovative
formulations to the product line.
