Small amount of coconut oil orally increases wound healing
-
Interestingly it only took ~ a teaspoon of coconut fat a day
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5714777/edit: maybe the fermentation process used in that allows for higher polyphenol count , but i doubt that plays a major role for such a small amount https://www.researchgate.net/figure/TPCs-in-coconut-oils-prepared-by-different-extraction-methods-expressed-as-gallic-acid_tbl1_363382404
e.g gives catechin at ~1.2mg/100g which is fuck all at 5gIncreased a VEGF receptor (helps new blood vessels grow faster and activates keratinocyte cell migration + helps them proliferate)
and this receptor helps limit scar formation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6080089/-
The findings with the VEGF-E variants suggest that VEGFR-2 activation can promote healing of cutaneous wounds without the inflammatory side effects associated with VEGFR-1 or VEGFR-3 activation. The impact of VEGFR-2 activation on ST formation is, however, unknown. We therefore utilized the selectivity of VEGF-E to examine the role of VEGFR-2 in inflammation, fibrosis, vessel functionality, and the quality of skin repair using a murine full-thickness skin wound model. Purified VEGF-ENZ-2 protein was administered until the time of wound closure. Selective activation of VEGFR-2 with the VEGF-E variant significantly increased interleukin (IL)-10 expression, leading to decreased macrophage infiltration, myofibroblast differentiation, and ST formation, while improving capillary pericyte coverage and structure of the collagen matrix.

The findings from this study indicate that in the absence of VEGFR-1 binding, VEGFR-2 stimulation can enhance the quality of skin repair. Selective activation of VEGFR-2 may therefore be a therapeutic option for impaired healing or excess scarring.
