Reduce wound healing times and prevent new wounds from developing!
Not Your Average Collagen Powder
PUSH is a new collagen powder supplement that helps to heal wounds from the inside out. It contains a patented blend of highly concentrated dipeptides that aids in the increase in absorption of collagen in the body. These collagen dipeptides help stimulate the growth of hyaluronic acid to promote wound healing.

WHAT ARE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES AND DIPEPTIDES?
Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids. Collagen peptides are formed by enzymatically breaking down the molecular bonds of the collagen strands into smaller groups of amino acids. A dipeptide is composed of two amino acids.
WHAT MAKES PUSH COLLAGEN DIPEPTIDES DIFFERENT?
PUSH is a patented blend of powdered collagen dipeptides that helps reduce heal time. The highly concentrated dipeptides in PUSH are Proline-Hydroxyproline (PO) and Hydroxyproline-Glycine (OG). They form a dipeptide that is very strong and not easily degraded by stomach acids, and are found in the plasma up to 4 hours after ingestion. Studies show that PO and OG reach the cellular level in skin, bones and joints.
These dipeptides send out signals to cells to energize the collagen peptide production by fibrocytes and chondrocytes, promoting growth of hyaluronic acid. This creates resilient tissue, stimulates cell division and aids in wound healing.
WHAT IS THE PUSH WOUND HEALING MECHANISM?
Pressure ulcers heal in 3 stages:
1. Inflammatory Stage: PO and OG stimulate the fundamental metabolism for wound healing.
2. Granulation Stage: PUSH stimulates dermal fibroblasts to migrate into the vacant tissue and enhances the components of the extracellular matrix - hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen in the re-making phase.
3. Re-making Stage: PO can help re-epithelialization.

How is patient compliance when taking PUSH?
Patient compliance is excellent due to minimal fluid requirements for ingestion and the light pineapple and mixed berry taste.
What type of wounds is PUSH effective for?
PUSH has shown to be effective to promote wound healing on stage 1, 2, 3 and 4 wound sites. PUSH is also effective in promoting healing on stasis ulcers, diabetic wounds, deep tissue injury, surgical sites, unstageable wounds, skin tears, abrasions and brusing. In addition, adding PUSH to diets of the elderly improves moisture to the skin, which allows for better texture and reduction of shearing.
Can PUSH be added to thickened liquids?
Yes, you can mix PUSH into thickened liquids, however, you will have to stir it aggressively for a few minutes for the particles to dissolve.
How much protein is in one serving and how much liquid is required?
Each serving of PUSH provides 5g of protein. PUSH only requires 2-3 oz. of liquid to quickly dissolve.
Does PUSH lose its effectiveness if mixed in advance and not served immediately?
No, PUSH will not lose effectiveness if not served immediately but we do recommend using it the same day and not let it sit overnight.
Can PUSH be used with enteral feedings?
Yes, PUSH completely dissolves in a small amount of liquid and will not plug enteral feeding tubes. Recommended use for tube fed patients is to add PUSH to water flushes.
