Whats C-Reactive Protein (CRP)?
CRP is a special protein produced by your liver during stages of acute inflammation. For example, during a ‘flare-up’ of rheumatoid arthritis, you may see elevated CRP levels in the blood. This indicates there is some level of inflammation occurring in the body. Other conditions where you might see elevated CRP levels include: • Rheumatoid arthritis • Lupus • Cancer • Connective tissue diseases • Certain bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections • other causes of ongoing inflammation In this study, researchers conducted a double-blind study using 300 mg. a day of Neptune Krill Oil (NKO), or a placebo, for 30 days to assess the anti-inflammatory potential for NKO. Results of 300 mg. a day of Antarctic Neptune Krill Oil show: • It significantly reduced inflammation after 7 days. • It reduced CRP by 19% after 7 days of treatment. • It reduced CRP by 30% after 14 days of treatment. • It was more effective than the placebo for reducing CRP levels. Researchers concluded that 300 mg. a day of
