Well, the only proven supplement to lower C-reactive protein is Vitamin C.

It also reduces blood clotting but that is a small effect. Lovasa RX is a fish oil designed for cardiovascular effects. But you can get it less expensively OTC generically at Costco or SAMs now. The triple strength caps are close to Lovasa in dose.

Once again, many thanks for your diligence in keeping the rest of educated and healthier of course! but yet - another question- is Vit. D better absorbed in a stand alone gelcap, or is absorbency enhanced in a supplement like Jarrow's Bone-Up, or does it matter?? Julie

I take a gelcap...it is mixed in an oil. I really don't think the dry powder type supplement is a good idea for D, since it is oil soluble.
I use a supplement enhancer for my morning supps. It is called Bioperine, made by Source Naturals. Here is a thread about it at PN http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ight=bioperine I became interested in it because of the Doctor's Best products which have it added. Also there was a study showing this pepper extract can lower cholesterol! So I've been using it. One has to be careful with DRUGS and Bioperine. Not much information is available on the net about the drugs which may be affected by it. But until further info comes along I think it is similar to the effects of grapefruit juice on drug levels. I am not really recommending Bioperine for others at this time because of this unknown factor. But I don't take any drugs in the morning, so I am using it to enhance my supplements.

This demostrates that physicians will test, but don't want to treat this aggressively enough.

This study was done for only certain types of cancer (not all of them). And one link was found to higher rates of pancreatic cancer for those with higher blood levels of D. More work is needed to explain that result, as there may be certain variables for those people in addition to the D levels.
