Protein Heals Bedsores

Posted in Health Challenges, Research by Anne

Have you ever seen (or experienced!) a bedsore? They look so painful! Reuters Health just reported on some encouraging news from the journal Advances in Skin & Wound Care:

Elderly patients with bedsores healed more quickly when regularly taking a liquid protein supplement.

It doesn’t surprise me at all. Protein comprises much of the elastic fibers in the skin. The trick is to get
a complete protein containing all of the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in the right amounts. Not all proteins are created equal.
