Which of the following is a nutrient that is known to promote wound healing:

• A. Bromelain
• B. Silica
• C. Vitamin K
• D. Molybdenum

Answer: (A)

Bromelain promotes wound healing because it has anti-inflammatory and proteolytic effects that help reduce swelling and clear damaged tissue, creating a better environment for new tissue to form. As a result, the healing process can proceed more smoothly after minor injuries or procedures.

Silica is sometimes believed to support connective tissue and collagen, but solid evidence in wound healing is limited. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, which helps control bleeding, but it doesn’t directly accelerate tissue repair once healing has started. Molybdenum is a trace element with various enzyme roles, not specifically linked to promoting wound healing.

So bromelain stands out as the nutrient among these options that is known to support wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and tissue-clearing actions.
