Note: Resveratrol activates the Vitamin D Receptor, thus getting more vitamin D to tissues Note: Adding Vitamin D would probably have greatly helped * Nanoemulsion Vitamin D may be a substantially better form * Burns, ulcers, and wounds healed by Vitamin D - many studies 1. Vitamin D and Omega-3 category starts with {include} --- Omega-3 and Inflammation (items in both categories) {category}

In the present work, lipid nanosystems containing omega-3 fatty acid (nanostructured lipid carriers, NLCs) or omega-3 fatty acid and resveratrol (liposomes) were developed to improve cotton textile substrates as dressings with anti-inflammatory properties for wound healing applications. Lipid nanosystems were incorporated into woven, non-woven and knitted cotton substrates by exhaustion and impregnation. Based on physical–chemical characterization of the textile substrates, the textile structure and type of lipid nanosystems dictated the adsorption efficiency. In the case of NLCs, the woven substrate functionalized by exhaustion had a higher omega-3 release being the most promising for wound dressing application. Whereas for liposomes, the most adequate textile was the cationized knitted fabric functionalized by impregnation, that showed a more prolonged release profile of resveratrol.
