connective tissues. Vitamin A is important for the healing process; however,
vitamin C is the priority because it cements the ground substance of supportive
tissue. Cyanocobalamin is a vitamin B12 preparation needed for red blood cell
synthesis and a healthy nervous system. Phytonadione is vitamin K, which plays
a major role in blood coagulation.
