Pressure Ulcers

Support Building New Tissue

A pressure ulcer is an injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. A person having one or more of these factors is at risk for pressure-ulcer formation or progression:

1. Bed- or chair-bound (immobility)
2. Difficulty swallowing or chewing
3. Poor nutrition (weight loss, muscle loss)
4. Dehydration
5. Poor circulation
6. Stool and/or urinary incontinence
7. Poor skin condition
8. History of pressure ulcers
9. Advanced age

Juven^® is a therapeutic nutrition drink mix that is clinically shown to support building new tissue at the wound site.

When you have a pressure ulcer, your body has to compete for the same nutrients that help heal wounds and maintain or gain weight. This results in lean muscle loss, which can slow the healing process.

Juven contains a unique blend of three key ingredients: Revigor™ (source of HMB), arginine, and glutamine. And it has been clinically shown to build lean muscle in as little as four weeks¹ and support collagen formation in as little as two weeks.²

Help Your Body’s Ability to Heal Skin

For people with pressure ulcers, getting your body to make collagen is an important step in healing. Collagen is a major component of skin and other tissue, and forming it is an important part of your body's repair process, including the closure of wounds.

Juven is clinically shown to enhance collagen formation in as little as two weeks.² Collagen is a building block to promote tissue repair of the skin after injury, surgery, and wounds. You can simply mix Juven with water, or mix it with your favorite foods and beverages.
