@basu-deb There are several factors that can affect how well we heal from our wounds. Age- Humans lose the natural capability to create and maintain a healthy collagen level in their bodies as they grow in age. Specifically, after the age of 65 when collagen loss becomes more of a problem if the patient gets a wound.
Weak nutrition: Protein deficiency occurs when the protein that is taken in does not meet the requirements to support all of the body’s needs. This has an affect on the body’s natural healing ability because it interferes with the proliferation phase in the healing cycle.
Vitamin Deficiencies in C and A: Vitamin C is of utmost importance for the synthesis of collagen. Vitamin A is the necessary element for the collagen protein fibril
Minerals: Copper and Zinc are both important elements to help create new collagen proteins that promote the building of new skin.
