Supplements for a Healthy Inflammatory Response

✨Steal our top supplement tips for a healthy inflammatory response✨

 

Inflammation is not entirely evil. 

 

We need our bodies to mount an inflammatory response to fight off infections or heal from injuries, but we don’t want to be stuck in a never-ending inflammatory cycle.

 

That’s when we start to consider lifestyle changes and supplements to support a healthy inflammatory response. 

 

Here are 3 of my favorites:

 

💊 Curcumin

Curcumin is what gives the Indian spice turmeric its bright yellow color. Choose a product that has been formulated for optimal absorption. 

 

💊 Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid in apple skins, onions, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables. It acts at the cellular level to support a healthy inflammatory response.

 

💊 Omega-3s

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids found in fish oils, nuts, and seeds. They act as precursors to molecules that participate directly in anti-inflammatory pathways. 

 

The supplements I recommend for any given person depend on their unique situation, lab tests, and goals. It’s always best to work with a practitioner!
