Granulating Wounds and Supplements that Encourage Recovery

With his background in pharmacy and entrepreneurship, Dr. Devan Patel is the president and CEO of Medizenx, based in Tampa, Florida, and the CEO of Zen Nutrients, based in New Port Richey, Florida. Overseeing a nutraceutical manufacturer, he informs the development of next generation supplements designed to boost health and wellness. Dr. Devan Patel explores the process of injury recovery in his article “Granulating Wounds — How to Optimize Healing” (https://zennutrients.com/blogs/news/granulating-wounds-how-to-optimize-healing).

These types of wounds involve the formation of protective granulation tissue, which happens between the inflammatory phase and the proliferative phase of the healing process. In addition to preventing infection, this creates an initial layer of tissue on which scar tissue can now form. Granulation tissue contains immune cells, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and endothelial cells, which together add rigidity, induce blood flow, repel invading pathogens, and ensure adequate oxygen supply.

Taking proper supplements is essential in encouraging the various cellular stages of healing. vitamin C boosts collagen generation and secretion, while vitamin A assists in new blood vessel formation. L-glutamine is also important, as it enables the rapid splitting of cells and the creation of new tissue. Containing these and other minerals, Zen Nutrients’ WoundVite is a product ideally formulated to expedite wound recovery. In all, it contains 18 pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, including L-Arginine and organic turmeric.
