Juven: Targeted Nutrition for Optimal Wound Healing1
Therapeutic nutrition intervention can support the healing of pressure injuries and wounds caused by trauma or surgery.
Juven is a therapeutic nutrition powder that has been clinically shown to support wound healing by enhancing collagen production in as little as 2 weeks.1,2,* Collagen formation is critical in the wound healing process. Not only do collagen proteins give structural support to cells, but they also modulate inflammatory cell function. Collagen proteins are crucial in cell adhesion, cell migration, tissue morphogenesis, tissue repair and more.
For a long time, Juven has contained arginine, glutamine, and HMB, but has since been reformulated to include collagen protein and micronutrients, which closely align with evidence-based guidelines.†
Learn more about the function of these key ingredients:
Arginine
An amino acid that promotes blood flow and protein production,3 which can contribute to wound healing
Collagen Protein
A type of protein that stimulates internal collagen formation7,8
Glutamine
that supports new tissue development4,5
Micronutrients
Vitamins C, E, B12, and zinc support the wound healing process9
HMB
that protects muscle cells and maintains muscle tissue6

Juven supports healing for various wounds
Juven supports wound healing in patients with inadequate nutrition, such as those with:
Juven is available in 2 great-tasting flavors, Fruit Punch and Orange, as well as in an unflavored powder. Unflavored Juven can be mixed with regular foods, such as soup or sauces, to help with patient compliance.
The powders mix easily in 8-10 ounces of water or juice, and Juven (flavored) contains 2-3 grams of sugar and ½ carb exchange per serving.
Recommend 2 packets of Juven per day to help support wound healing.

The impact of non-healing wounds
Malnutrition and the associated loss of lean body mass can slow wound healing.10 Chronic nonhealing wounds, like pressure injuries, create serious health issues, such as: constant pain for up to 80% of patients11; infectious complications12; and mortality, osteomyelitis, and sepsis.12 Additionally, poor nutrition contributes to the development of 61% of pressure injuries.14 Nutrition intervention with oral nutrition supplements like Juven supports the healing of chronic nonhealing wounds and pressure injuries,14,† in addition to the wound types listed above.
