Hexose Sugars May Improve Wound Healing
An animal study based in Finland found that galactose may enhance wound healing. Mannose, it was found, inhibits the inflammatory reaction and decreases granulation tissue formation. Granulation tissue is the soft, pink tissue that forms over a wound in the third stage of healing. Galactose and mannose are hexose sugars or simple sugars that have six carbon atoms per molecule.
