One Great New Product: ProSource ZAC provides 17 grams of protein per serving
and is fortified with additional Zinc, Arginine and Vitamin C to promote rapid healing.

Skin Breakdown is a complex and difficult problem, in part because there is no single cause and no single solution to heal a wound; it is a multi-faceted problem that requires participation and collaboration from all members of the healthcare team.

Some factors contributing to wound care are not controllable such as advancing age, illness, dementia and paralysis. Other factors are controllable such as appropriate pressure relief and wound care techniques, management of incontinence and malnutrition. However, their resolution can also be difficult to achieve.

Obtaining perfect nutritional status may not always be achievable but we can provide that which science has demonstrated as being effective; such as adequate protein, calories and additional specific nutrients which are required under metabolic stress to promote healing.
