Inflammation is an immune response that occurs after infection or injury

• Research & News

Inflammation is an immune response that occurs after infection or injury. It involves a series of biological actions that lead to the development of redness, heat and swelling. All of these elements are created by the activity of immune cells working to break down injured and dying tissues so that new, healthy ones can replace them. When you suffer a painful bump after hitting your head, that’s inflammation at work. When you develop a fever in response to an infection, you’re experiencing a form of full-body inflammation that creates an inhospitable environment for multiplying pathogens. A boil is a highly localized inflammation, while a sunburn is an inflammation that can cover large areas of skin.
 

Heart Disease Risk

Inflammatory processes have also been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Subjects enrolled in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study were three times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s during a 25-year follow-up if they were in the highest quartile of C-reactive protein levels (compared with those in the bottom quartile). A correlation was evident: the more C-reactive protein subjects had at the start, the higher their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.¹⁶

Diabetics have elevated markers of deep inflammation. Research by Dr. Ridker and colleagues have provided support for a common inflammatory basis of these two diseases — illnesses that often strike in the same individuals.¹⁷

 

C-Reactive Protein Control

If you are forty years old or older, suggest that your doctor prescribe a C-reactive protein test for you the next time you have your cholesterol measured. The following table summarizes research results on the effect of various nutritional supplement on C-Reactive Protein levels.

Supplement	Dose	CRP Reduction	Parameters	Comments

Multivitamin

Researchers examined data from the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study which provided information on body mass index, exercise and activity levels, and medication and nutritional supplement intake for 2,964 men and women. Taking an multivitamin supplement was associated with CRP levels similar to those seen in people who exercised 180 minutes/week or more and did not take supplements.¹⁹

Neptune Krill Oil

The results of a recent study have shown with a high level of certainty that Neptune Krill Oil, at a daily dose of 300 mg, may significantly inhibit inflammation by reducing C-reactive protein (CRP).

After taking Neptune Krill Oil 300 mg/day for a period of 7, 14, and 30 days, CRP was reduced 19.3%, 29.7% and 30.9%. In this study, 90 patients with cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis and with increased levels of C-reactive protein >1.0 mg/dl were evaluated. Patients were split into a Krill Oil group and those taking placebo. The Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) University Osteoarthritis index was administered to validate the results.²⁴
