Why Juven Nutrition Powder?
When Diet Isn’t Enough:
Your body needs proper nutrition to build new tissue after surgery or heal wounds and ulcers. But sometimes, your regular intake of calories and protein is not enough. This is when Juven can help. Juven is a nutrition powder from the makers of Ensure®. Juven can be mixed with food, juice, or other beverages and has been clinically shown to support wound healing in as little as two weeks.1,* Each packet of Juven contains a unique blend of key ingredients, including HMB (an amino acid metabolite), arginine, glutamine, collagen protein, antioxidants (vitamins C and E), vitamin B12, and zinc. Learn more about how each of these ingredients supports wound healing—and may increase lean body mass:
- HMB (ß-Hydroxy ß-Methyl butyrate) is a compound found in small amounts in your body and certain foods such as grapefruit, alfalfa, and catfish. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, which helps produce new tissue by slowing muscle breakdown and enhancing protein synthesis.
- Arginine is an amino acid that supports blood flow and is a building block for proteins.
- Glutamine is an amino acid that plays a role in collagen production, the main structural protein in skin and other connective tissues, and supports the immune system.
- Collagen protein stimulates collagen production and has been shown to accelerate the rate of wound healing.
- Zinc and vitamins C, E, and B12 are important micronutrients for wound healing. These micronutrients may aid in improving immune response, improving skin integrity, and boosting collagen synthesis.
Juven supports the healing of the following wound types:
- Surgical incisions
- Radiotherapy-induced injuries
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Burns
- Other acute or chronic wounds

Advice for Eating a Complete, Balanced Diet During Wound Healing:
- Protein builds new skin and muscle
- Glutamine helps cells produce the building blocks needed for new tissue
- HMB helps create new tissue by slowing muscle breakdown and supporting protein synthesis
- Arginine supports blood flow and is a building block for proteins, which can contribute to healing
- Foods high in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, help reduce your risk of infection and promote healing
- Drinking adequate fluids maintains hydration to support your circulation
- Maintaining muscle and organ tissue is vital for normal healing, and proper nutrition plays an important role. If you do not receive adequate nutrition, your body may use muscle protein for energy!
