Abstract

Whether from an unintentional damage or surgical intervention, wounds require the cooperation of a complex network of blood cells, tissue types, cytokines, and growth hormones to heal. Increased cellular activity as a result leads to a higher metabolic need for nutrients. Inadequate nutrition can delay the healing process, and a number of nutrients needed for wound repair can speed up the healing process. Inflammatory, proliferative, remodelling, and wound closure are the four stages of wound healing. The wound must be cleaned and clot during the inflammatory period. Through tissue growth, the proliferative phase creates the wound bed. Collagen becomes more robust during the remodelling process. Nutritional integrity is essential at all times. Calcium, zinc, vitamins K, A, and E, and proteins are necessary during inflammation. Amino acids, B vitamins, fats, zinc, and iron all have a role in proliferation. However, this review highlights regarding possible roles for nutrition in wound healing.
