Why PUSH 20+ is Perfect for Healing Ostomates

My Ostomy

Every ostomate has experienced surgery of some form and all surgeries require a period of healing after the fact. PUSH 20+ is a unique blend of complete protein coupled with patented collagen dipeptides that activate the body’s wound healing mechanisms, perfect for any healing ostomate. PUSH 20+ contains 20g of protein and a blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, arginine, and zinc. These micronutrients can assist in many wound healing processes that are ideal for anyone that may require a boost of wound healing.

Protein

Protein has a vital role in wound healing as they are the building blocks that aid in healing and maintaining lean muscle mass. Research suggests that low protein levels can cause a decrease in collagen development that slows the wound healing process. With PUSH 20+’s 20 grams of protein and additional collagen dipeptides, PUSH 20+ is the perfect addition to your post-surgery diet.

Vitamin C and Zinc

Vitamin C and Zinc perform similar tasks to each other as they both support the production of protein and collagen in the body, supporting wound healing.

Hyaluronic Acid and Arginine

Hyaluronic Acid promotes skin moisture and not only can assist in the wound healing of skin as a result, but can keep your skin more hydrated, possibly preventing dry skin around your stoma. Similarly, arginine can help with wound healing by maintaining skin integrity or by supplementing your body with arginine that it may not get through your regular diet.
