Epigran Protein

Nourish to flourish - Nutrition matters in healing
Prevalence of malnutrition in hospital is predicted at 86%, nursing home at 67%.Individuals with malnutrition in combination with multiple comorbidities are at increased risk of developing a Pressure Injury.
Poor nutrition is one of the reason that impede wound healing
Well-nourished patients displayed greater improvement in healing rates than malnourished patients.
- NPUAP / EPUAP / PPPIA NUTRITION GUIDELINES 2014
- Stated the need to provides energy of 30-35 kcal/kg body weight for adults with Pressure Injury OR at risk of pressure injury.
- Offer fortified foods and / or high-calorie, high-protein oral nutritional supplements between meals if nutritional requirements cannot be achieved by dietary intake.

Micro Nutrient (Arginine, Glutamine, Leucine)
- Arginine, and micronutrients are recommended by NPUAP / EPUAP / PPPIA NUTRITION GUIDELINES for adults with a pressure injury.
- Arginine has been the best-studied component of immunonutrition to wound heal
- Glutamine has been shown to protects against inflammatory injury and stress.
- Recent ESPEN guideline mentioned that in polymorbid medical patients with bedsore, specific amino acids such as arginine, glutamine, and β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (metabolite of leucine) can be added to oral/enteral foods to accelerate the healing of bedsores.
Correct trace element Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Selenium balance is pivotal for wound healing.
