Original research title
Vitamins and Chronic Wounds: How Altered Pharmacokinetics and Comorbidities Contribute to Vitamin Deficiencies
Deficiencies are common in these patients, but supplementation studies report inconsistent benefits. Vitamin requirements and suitable supplementation doses and durations remain uncertain.
The practical message is to consider nutrition, medicines and possible deficiencies during clinical assessment. The review does not justify self-prescribed supplements or guaranteed faster healing.
This is not a new trial. Existing studies vary in design and baseline deficiency; evidence on treating combined deficiencies and B-vitamin deficiencies is lacking.
Published journal review; supplementation evidence remains insufficient for a firm conclusion.
