Nutrition is Key to Wound Healing
While dressings help to keep the wound bed moist and free of outside contaminants, adding PUSH 20+ to your wound healing protocol provides nutrition support to optimize healing.
Reduce Heal Times with Collagen Dipeptides
The PUSH Collagen Dipeptides, Proline-Hydroxyproline (PO) and Hydroxyproline-Glycine (OG), have been identified as the bioactive components in collagen that stimulate wound healing. PO and OG activate dermal fibroblasts at the wound site to increase production of collagen, ECM proteins, and hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid plays a role in all stages of wound healing, promoting the growth of structural tissue and increasing hydration by pulling in and binding water molecules. Hydrated tissue has increased blood flow and more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in accelerated wound healing.
Clinically Supported Results
Dietary supplementation with PO and OG enhances wound healing, indicated by significant improvement in global wound healing assessment scores.
In a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study, participants showed significant improvement in PUSH and PSST scores when PO and OG were administered for 16 weeks.
Take one or two servings per day, depending on the severity of the wound and other medical issues (consult a medical professional).
Each 1.25 oz (37.5 ml) single serve packet is ready to drink or mix with 1-4 oz of water.
