Composition for reduced scar formation of wounds
View Patent ↗A composition for reduced scar formation of wounds includes hydrolyzed collagen and one or more supplemental ingredients, including, lipoic acid, a zinc component, and a glucosamine component. The composition may facilitate inhibition of scar formation during wound healing. The composition may be used, for example, as a topical dressing for a wound, including, an acute or chronic wound.
1. A method for inhibiting scar formation of wounds comprising the step of administering a composition to a site of tissue injury, the composition including about 60% by weight to about 65% by weight hydrolyzed collagen, about 25% by weight to about 35% by weight of zinc gluconate, and about 1% by weight to about 5% by weight sodium hyaluronate, wherein the hydrolyzed collagen has a molecular weight between 10,000 Daltons to about 150,000 Daltons.
2. A composition for reduced scar formation of wounds, comprising:
about 60% by weight to about 65% by weight hydrolyzed collagen;
about 25% by weight to about 35% by weight of zinc gluconate; and
from about 1% by weight to about 5% by weight sodium hyaluronate,
wherein the hydrolyzed collagen has a molecular weight between 10,000 Daltons to about 150,000 Daltons.
