For a wound to heal successfully, all four phases must occur in the proper sequence and time frame. Many factors can interfere with one or more phases of this process, thus causing improper or impaired wound healing.
The most significant factors that affect cutaneous wound healing include oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition.
Nutrition
Arginine and glutamine, important amino acids during the wound healing process that provide building blocks for new tissue.
Hydrolyzed collagen is necessary to stimulate the production of internal collagen at the wound site.
HMB (short for β-hydroxy-β-methyl-butyrate) helps slow muscle protein breakdown
Zinc supports immune function and skin integrity
Vitamins C, E, and B12 help strengthen the new skin and to help get more oxygen to the wound site.
