[shawn777]

Hi guys i just had my surgery on 10th april 2012. i heard that vitamin c helps wound healing. I recently bought some vitamin C tablet from GNC. Any of you guys are having vitamin C tablet like me during the wound healing period?
If so, how is it?

I'm taking 3 Vitamin C tablets per day. I'm not sure if I'm seeing a difference or not but I'm taking them nonetheless. I'm 1 week post op. Actually my bruising doesn't look so bad for 1 week so maybe it's helping.

Vitamin E and Zinc really improve healing and appearance but try to supplement them naturally since most supplements have an excessively high dosage

I had heard this. I switched (pre amd post op) to a simple milt-vitamin (Men's One a Day) which had the low level of Vitamin  E (under 30) recommend by most docs, but still had all the other ones. I also consume a lot of fresh fruit and vegies, so in addition to the 100% C in the multi I am likely getting another 100% or more.

My vitamin C tablet is 1000mg, i decide to take 2 for daily compare to 1 per day. is that alright? i want to speed up the healing.
