BROMELAIN – NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR WOUND HEALING AND PAIN
Normal wound healing Normal wound healing requires a multidimensional set of interactions with a variety of mediators in the body including immune cells, inflammatory mediators and extracellular macromolecules, such as collagen, enzymes, and glycoproteins, that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells. The goal , of course, is to heal a wound as quickly as possible with the least amount of pain and result in a fine scar with high resistance to disruption under tension (tensile strength). The four phases of normal wound healing include hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. [12]
