What is it about?

Surgeons are always obsessed with wound healing and have always been searching for better ways to promoting it. Haruan fish is believed to promote wound healing but the evidence so far has been anecdotal. Our study, probably the first so has shown the clinical benefit of haruan in promoting wound healing among coronary bypass patients. The study was conducted in a double-blind manner and scientifically confirmed the long-held belief of the benefit of Haruan fish. Apart from the abundance of amino acids and fatty acids, It also possesses anti-nociceptive (pain relieving) effect and improves the quality of life of patients after surgery.

Why is it important?

Though the research is laborious from the rearing of the haruan fish to the production of the capsules and then to the administration to the coronary bypass patients in a double-blind manner and the wound assessment after surgery including the quality of life assessment; we found this research to be satisfying in terms of the results we obtained. For the first time, the efficacy of haruan fish in promoting wound healing was proven scientifically. And this leads to an advantage in terms of resources to an overall economic benefit including a reduction in hospitalization cost.
