Understanding Juven

Lay a Strong Foundation for Wound Healing

Healing wounds and surgical incisions depends on sound nutrition and proper wound care. However, a complete and balanced diet alone is not always enough.

Juven^® is a light, refreshing drink mix designed to meet specific nutritional stresses of healing wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, surgical incisions, and radiation burns. Juven has a unique blend of ingredients that goes above and beyond basic nutrition.

Juven contains three key ingredients to help support your wound healing: HMB, arginine, and glutamine. All three ingredients are naturally found in a healthy body, but you might require more than the amounts your body naturally produces to support healing.

HMB

• Helps protect proteins from breaking down in your body, which helps new tissue to build up.

Arginine

• Is an amino acid that helps promote blood flow in the body.
• Supports building of proteins that can contribute to wound healing.

Glutamine

• Also an amino acid, supports the immune system and helps cells produce building blocks needed for new tissue.

Proper Diet for Wound Healing

During the healing process, the body needs increased amounts of calories and protein, ample fluids, and sometimes increased amounts of vitamins A, C, and zinc.

Juven therapeutic nutrition is part of your comprehensive wound treatment plan, and its use must be supervised by a team of healthcare professionals overseeing nutrition, surgical procedures, wound hygiene, dressings, and your general health.

Taking Juven is a powerful step to help you rebuild and heal. Just two packets of Juven each day provide the therapeutic nutrition your body can use to support healing. You can simply mix Juven with water, or mix it with your favorite foods and beverages.
