Juven
Juven is a therapeutic nutrition drink mix manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. It is designed to support wound healing in patients suffering from conditions such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds. Juven contains a blend of key ingredients: Arginine, Glutamine, and Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein, which are essential for the synthesis of proteins involved in wound healing.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Arginine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in cell division, immune function, and the release of hormones. It is a precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide, which is involved in wound healing.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It is involved in many metabolic processes, including the synthesis of proteins, DNA and RNA, and the regulation of cell volume and acid-base balance.
Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein is a form of protein that has been broken down into smaller amino acids, making it easier for the body to absorb. Collagen is a major component of skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels, and plays a key role in wound healing.
Clinical Use[edit | edit source]
Juven is used clinically to support wound healing in patients with pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds. It is also used in patients with burns, trauma, or malnutrition, who may have increased protein needs.
Administration and Dosage[edit | edit source]
Juven is available in powder form and is typically mixed with water or juice. The recommended dosage is two packets per day, although the exact dosage may vary depending on the patient's individual nutritional needs and medical condition.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
As with any nutritional supplement, Juven may cause side effects in some individuals. These may include gastrointestinal discomfort, allergic reactions, and interactions with certain medications. Patients should consult their healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
