1. Papain - urea benefits
  • Proteolytic activity removes non-viable protein that may impede wound healing.
  • Enhances Chlorophyllin Copper Complex access to granulating tissue.

2. Chlorophyllin Copper Complex Mode of Action**
  

• Fibrin inhibits blood flow and nutrients to the wound site. (above)

• Chlorophyllin Copper Complex (CCC) reduces fibrin formation. Macrophages arrive and signal fibroblasts to initiate collagen deposition. (above)

• The copper in CCC enhances structural integrity of the deposited collagen matrix
