Inflammation

"Anti-inflammatory" is doing a lot of work on supplement labels. A change in a blood marker is not the same as feeling better, and most trials here measured the marker.

Before you buy anything

Marker ≠ symptom

Ask which one the trial measured. Usually it is the marker.

Formulation decides the dose

Plain curcumin absorbs so poorly that the label amount is close to meaningless.

Chronic inflammation needs a diagnosis

If something is driving it, that is the thing to treat.

We don't sell one of these

We make no formula for inflammation. Nothing on this page earns us anything — which is worth knowing when you read the pages where we do have something to sell.
