Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation, proper immune function, and as a tissue antioxidant.> Vitamin E is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant in the skin; however, the effect of vitamin E on surgical wounds is inconclusive.> Bromelain reduces edema, bruising, pain, and healing time following trauma and surgical procedures.
