CRP Level and Brain function

Elevated CRP Level Linked to Decline in Executive Function and Frontal Lobe Damage. CRP has been linked to heart disease, and Alzheimers. Inflammation is involved in many other health problems. Hashimoto's thyroid often has inflammation markers such as CRP

A new study shows a link between elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), an indicator of low-grade inflammation, and decline in executive function.

That means that inflammation is linked to frontal cortex executive function ie decision, focus etc.

  1. I have only been through a 1 month supply and I’m going to continue taking desiccated porcine tablets . I no longer feel like I need a little sleep every afternoon. I am keeping up with my 3 children and full-time job while also keeping up with the house and extra-curricular activities and have even been taking on special tasks on the weekends.
