Scarring is a healing process of injured tissues through a series of reparative processes, essentially aimed at guaranteeing the anatomical reconstruction of the injured tissue. In this sense it differs from regeneration processes, which aim instead at functional restoration through the reconstitution of differentiated structures (not very active in man, typical of amphibians and fish).

Each healing process takes place in three phases: the initial one, of an inflammatory nature with temporary closure (coagulation) and wound cleansing, the intermediate one in which the wound is closed due to the formation of granulation tissue (cellular phase), and the last phase (much longer) of maturation with remodeling of the scar.

As for the relationship between nutrition, supplements and healing, it is good to remember first of all that the healing of a wound requires an adequate nutritional status, especially as regards the supply of proteins, vitamins (especially C, which favors the synthesis of collagen, and E) and trace elements (especially iron, copper and zinc).
