Supplementing with essential amino acids (EAA) after total knee replacement may be helpful. Two studies have shown that supplementing with EAA for one week before and two weeks after surgery, patients had less atrophy of their muscle and it improved outcomes.
Check with your doctor to see if these might be beneficial for you.
The two brands I recommend to my patients are:
