Healing After Surgery

Vitamins For Healing

If your pet has had a recent surgery there are natural things that you can do to help in promoting healing. There are various supplements that you can give that will speed up the healing process.

Most of these can be found in many balanced vitamin mineral tablets.. A, C and E are all powerful antioxidants which provide protection against free radical damage, and are helpful in disease prevention, and wound healing.

Vitamin E is incorporated into cell membranes as well as guarding the fat molecules in the bloodstream from free-radical damage.

Studies have also shown that it is a potent stimulator of the immune system, helping protect the thymus gland and guarding white blood cells from damage. Vitamin E has also been shown to reduce levels of inflammatory prostaglandins, which can lead to a number of health problems

Vitamin A is manufactured by humans and animals from pigment substances called carotenes, which are commonly found in plants. Vitamin A is fat-soluble. Vitamin A is essential for:

Supporting healthy eyesight

Maintaining healthy skin and mucous membrane

Growth and proper digestion

The production of red and white corpuscles in the blood

Lactation

Growth and repair of body tissues

Protecting the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, throat and lungs, thereby reducing susceptibility to infections

Protecting against environmental pollutants

Aiding in bone and teeth formation

Vitamin C is the body's primary water-soluble antioxidant, which makes it an important weapon in the immune system's arsenal against bacteria and viruses. It also helps protect unsaturated fatty acids, and the fat- soluble vitamins A and E from being oxidized, therefore protecting their potency. Since your pet can't manufacture it, vitamin C must be obtained through diet and supplementation.

A protective vitamin essential to over-all body health, vitamin C is especially important for neutralizing free radicals. It also:

Helps in the production of collagen, and maintaining healthy skin

Promotes the healing of wounds, scar tissue, fractures

Strengthens blood vessels

Helps the body utilize iron and folic acid

Supports the thymus gland

Enhances T-cell production, increasing resistance to viral and

bacterial infections, and some allergies
