Skin Ulcers
Skin Ulcers- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Supplement Amount Why AloeApply gel on gauze or dressings daily

Hydroxyethylrutosides (related flavonoids) may also help.Essential Fatty Acids TopicalRefer to label instructions [2 stars] In one study, topically applied essential fatty acids significantly lessened pressure ulcers and improved skin hydration and elasticity in malnourished people, who frequently develop ulcers.Evening Primrose Oil1,500 mg with each meal [2 stars] A preliminary report suggested that evening primrose oil improves blood flow to the legs and heals or reduces the size of venous leg ulcers.Folic AcidConsult a qualified healthcare practitioner [2 stars] Large amounts of folic acid given both orally and by injection could promote healing of chronic skin ulcers due to poor circulation.Gotu KolaApply an ointment or powder containing 1 to 2% herbal extract daily [2 stars] Gotu kola extracts may be used topically to help speed wound healing.Hyaluronic AcidApply a gel containing a partial benzyl ester derivative of hyaluronan under compression bandaging daily [2 stars] A trial found that topical application of a hyaluronic acid compound with compression bandaging was significantly better than bandaging alone for healing chronic venous skin ulcers.Pycnogenol150 mg per day orally, along with topical application of 100 mg daily [2 stars] In a controlled study, symptoms of diabetic skin ulcers improved in those treated with standard medications plus oral and topical Pycnogenol.

Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.

Comments about NNF Now® Almond Oil:
I use this on my hair after my shower and it's helped to lock in the moisture and keep my hair from being frizzy. I'm a little disappointed that there is no scent, but it's a minor disappointment. I found that this was a little heavier oil feeling on my skin however I do use a drop under my eyes. It's great for wrinkles and it soaks in quickly so there's no need to rub.

This is a nice multi-purpose oil. I mix a few drops with my moisturizer and my skin does feel softer. I also use it as a hair oil, and massage oil for the baby. It is non-greasy, quick absorbing, and the best part I like about it is that it is fragrance free.

Comments about NNF Now® Almond Oil:
I adore this stuff! Got some earlier this week and it works beautifully. Conditions my skin better than high dollar moisturizers that I have used in the past. A little bit goes a long way so the 16 fluid ounce bottle I purchased from GNC for [$] I expect will last quite a while. It seems to be all I need on my face and I agree with the product claims that it does not clog pores. For use on my body I found that using my regular lotion first and then following up with the almond oil locks in my lotion and makes it work even better than before. Since it is unscented I can use all of my favorite [@] scented lotions and the almond oil does not clash. I <3 it!
