This subsequently needs to be replaced with a high protein diet.3  Features: Ready-to-use protein concentrate for wound management is a medical food that provides a concentrated source of protein for people with increased protein needs Provides 21 g of protein per one oz serving Enhanced with arginine, zinc and vitamin C for targeted wound care support Does not contain glycerin Lactose-free and gluten-free A Small Amount Packs A Powerful Punch Medline Active Liquid Protein consists of a dual protein source of hydrolyzed collagen and whey protein.
