Salba® is the World's first grain proven to reduce inflammation. Recent groundbreaking evidence indicates that the presence of "inflammation" is as dangerous a health concern as high cholesterol in the development of arterial disease, heart attack and strokes. This "inflammation" is easily measured with a simple test that examines the level of a chemical called C-reactive protein (CRP), which increases dramatically during inflammation. CRP, the marker for inflammation, is a molecule produced by the liver in response to an inflammatory signal that can come from arteries clogged with excess fat deposits or plaque. This occurs more frequently in people who are overweight and obese. Previous studies have associated people with elevated CRP levels to have a higher risk of experiencing heart attacks, strokes, and Type 2 Diabetes. Experts have determined that having CRP levels of 0.5mg/l rarely have heart attacks. Other recent findings strongly indicate a relationship between higher CRP levels and the potential risk of colon cancer.
