Key Ingredients to Support Wound Healing
HMB (β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) is a compound found in small amounts in your body and in small amounts in certain foods such as grapefruit, alfalfa, and catfish. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, which helps produce new tissue by slowing muscle breakdown and enhancing protein synthesis.2
Arginine is an amino acid that supports blood flow and is a building block for proteins.3
Glutamine is an amino acid that plays a role in the production of collagen, the main structural protein in skin and other connective tissues, and supports the immune system.4,5
Collagen protein stimulates collagen production and has been shown to accelerate the rate of wound healing.6,7
Zinc and vitamins C, E, and B12 are important micronutrients for the wound healing process. These micronutrients may aide in improving immune response, improving skin integrity, and boosting collagen synthesis.8
