Inflammation is an
essential part of the bodys healing. Aging, physical stressors, exposure to environmental irritants,
and poor-quality sleep are also factors that can contribute to chronic
inflammation and lead to the early stages of disease development. Although an
inflammatory immune response is an essential, protective response, it can give
rise to chronic inflammation if left unresolved.
We have recently come to understand that there are two phases of inflammation,
the initiation and the
resolution phase. It is important for inflammation to be
completely resolved to help the body heal. Traditional approaches for the
management of inflammation have focused on blocking the initiation phase.
However, we now know that inflammation doesn't simply fade away. Recent studies
have indicated that natural substances produced by the body called specialized
pro-resolving lipid mediators, also known as SPMs, support the completion of
the inflammatory response. Once inflammation is resolved, the affected part of
the body can return to a normal state.
Could You Benefit from SPMs?
Our bodies produce SPMs via a multi-step process; however, different health
conditions can influence the body's ability to produce SPMs. SPMs work by
assisting inflammation resolution, which is important for the body to repair
and heal itself. Revolutionary fractionation technology has allowed research
and development to isolate active marine lipids in a concentrated form so that
we may now supplement the body's natural production of SPMs.
