CORRECTMAX

Wound healing is a process that requires adequate nutrition to occur ^{satisfactorily1}.

CORRECTMax contains the specific nutrients that support the wound healing ^process2-12. Nutrition plays a crucial role in each of the healing phases. Adequate supply of the nutrients involved in the healing process can contribute to faster and more efficient recovery3^,4.

For the healing process to take place satisfactorily, it is important to ensure the supply of signaling nutrients such as bioactive collagen peptides and ^{L-arginine2-7}. In addition, vitamins A, C and E are needed at all stages of healing and are indispensable for cell ^{proliferation9-11}. Selenium and zinc are also fundamental minerals in these ^stages11.

CORRECTMax consists of*:

• 10g of bioactive collagen peptides
• 3g L-arginine
• 612 mcg of vitamin A
• 508 mg of vitamin C
• 15.2 mg vitamin E
• 30 mcg selenium and
• 15.2 mg zinc

*Values per 20g serving (2 sachets)

The supply of these specific nutrients, in the ideal quantity, could be the key to wound treatment, considering that they are often not ingested in sufficient quantities through food. Studies show that supplementing with these nutrients has been shown to reduce healing time, impacting on quality of life and costs with dressings and other necessary devices1^,3,4,13,14. In addition, CORRECTMax contains isomaltulose, a slowly absorbed carbohydrate with a low glycemic index, which helps with glycemic ^control15, an important factor for healing. It has 64 calories in the recommended daily dose, making it an excellent strategy for those individuals who don't need a high-calorie supplement, such as the obese, diabetics and others.
