Recommended Vitamins and Supplements to Be Taken Prior and Post Surgery?

Timmy89
Hi, so there is a lot of information regarding vitamins and sups that are not recommended to be taken prior surgery such as,Vitamin E. Just wondering are there any vitamins or sups out there that can be taken before and after surgery to help reduce healing time and bruising. I am undergoing a rhinoplasty and otoplasty in November. I also take two alfalfa caps daily, is that okay? Thanks.
