Abstract
Nutritional approaches for the control of inflammation can involve the administration of therapeutic amounts of calcium. The administration of appropriate amounts of calcium to an individual results in a reduction in inflammatory processes and markers associated with the inflammatory processes. The therapeutic amount of calcium can be selected to change a level of inflammation in the individual. The approach for reducing inflammation can comprise a step of measuring the C-reactive protein marker level and administering calcium in amounts selected to induce a change in the C-reactive protein level. The calcium can be incorporated into a product with corresponding instructions to induce a desired inflammation reduction.
