Dad drinks Juven for healing after his surgery. According to the makers 2 packets a day is clinically proven to aide healing of bedsores, burns, non-healing wounds in diabetics and other injuries. It is quite expensive- $25 for 8 packets at Walgreens, but it does seem to help. It's very strongly orange flavored. They make a unflavored and a berry flavored. The store I buy them at didn't have unflavored and I noticed the berry one doesn't contain collagen.
