Next Level Nutrition: The Role of Protein, Amino Acids, and Collagen Dipeptides in Wound Healing
Webinar Topic: Wound Care
Speaker: Nancy Collins, PhD, RDN, LD, NWCC, FAND, Nutrition Wound Care Certified Dietitian, Light Bulb Health, Inc
Webinar Description:
Patients living with wounds face nutritional challenges, which can greatly affect their ability to heal unless properly addressed. Nutrition science has reached the next level as our understanding of protein, amino acids, and the collagen dipeptides prolyl-hydroxyproline (PO) and hydroxypropyl glycine (OG), has grown. This session will first address the nutritional requirements for protein and how best to meet this need. Then the breakdown of protein into amino acids will be discussed with an emphasis on the amino acid arginine and its role in wound healing. Finally, the effect of collagen dipeptides on wound healing will be explored with a discussion of the scientific evidence.
Target Audience: Nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals interested in wound care.
