C-reactive protein
Recent research shows that having a high C-Reactive Protein blood test means you are at increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke twice as much as having a high cholesterol. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) measures inflammation, part of the immune reaction that protects you from infection when you injure yourself. It causes redness, pain and swelling and can damage the inner lining of arteries and cause clots to break off from arteries and block the flow of blood.
C-Reactive Protein levels increase with aging, high blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, low levels of physical activity, chronic fatigue, coffee consumption, having elevated triglycerides, insulin resistance and diabetes, taking estrogen, eating a high protein diet, and suffering sleep disturbances, and depression. Alcohol can cause inflammation and raise C Reactive Protein.
In July 2002 we concluded a double blind, clinical trail using Cooper Complete Iron Free. A manuscript from our clinical trial was reported in the December 2003 American Journal of Medicine showing the significant impact that Cooper complete has on inflammation as measured by C-reactive protein. C-reactive protein, which is secreted by the liver and indicates inflammation within the body, is now closely identified with heart disease. This is a very exciting area of research and one that is featured almost monthly in the major medical journals. The clinical trial showed Cooper Complete lowered CRP by 32%.
