Wound Healing & Recovery
Healing is building work, and it needs materials: protein, zinc, vitamin C and enough energy. Deficiency slows healing markedly, which is why recovery is a fair time to supplement.
What actually helps
- Protein at every meal, which is the single biggest lever.
- Zinc and vitamin C for a defined stretch rather than indefinitely.
- Keeping the wound clean and covered — moist wounds close faster than dry ones.
- Managing blood glucose, since high sugars slow healing more than any supplement speeds it.
