High doses of vitamin C have been clinically shown to heal speed up healing
(vit C is involved in collagen synthesis) After any surgery I place my patients
on 2000 mg of Ester C per day (1000mg with breakfast and dinner) for 2-3
weeks.
Zinc has been shown to aid in bone healing. If bone was involved take 50 mg
zinc gluconate for 2 weeks.
