C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A more sensitive CRP test, called a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) assay, is available to determine heart disease risk.

[T]his tonic was created to balance blood sugar and reduce insulin requirement––insulin being a major cause of inflammation. The Mind and Body Tonic™ reduces insulin resistance, reduces C-reactive protein (another marker for inflammation) and is an all-purpose, free radical scavenger (free radicals are a powerful source of inflammation).

In a study of almost 5,000 elderly people, scientists discovered that frail seniors were more likely to have signs of increased inflammation than their more active counterparts. This study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine (Walston et al. 2002) and showed that these frail seniors with elevated blood inflammatory markers ... tended to show more clotting activity, muscle weakness, fatigue and disability than active elderly people.

There are several tests you can take to determine the level of inflammation in your body. One such test is a C-reactive protein (CRP) blood test, which may be covered by insurance and can be done along with a cholesterol test. CRP level is used as a marker of inflammation in the arteries.
