What supplements have evidence for reducing cardiovascular inflammation?

Omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, and quercetin have clinical evidence for reducing inflammatory markers such as CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. The CANTOS trial demonstrated that targeted inflammation reduction (with canakinumab, not a supplement) reduced cardiovascular events, validating the inflammatory hypothesis of atherosclerosis.

Can supplements alone reduce cardiovascular inflammation?

While some supplements reduce inflammatory biomarkers, this has not been consistently linked to cardiovascular event reduction in supplement trials. Exercise, Mediterranean diet, weight loss, and smoking cessation are the most effective anti-inflammatory interventions. Supplements may modestly complement these lifestyle changes.

When should someone with elevated cardiovascular inflammation markers see a doctor?

Elevated high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP above 2 mg/L) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. A healthcare provider can assess overall cardiovascular risk and recommend evidence-based interventions. Persistent inflammation may indicate underlying conditions requiring medical evaluation beyond supplementation.

About

Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation measured by hs-CRP, now recognized as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The CANTOS trial validated the inflammatory hypothesis of atherosclerosis by showing reducing inflammation (IL-1beta) without affecting lipids reduced cardiovascular events.

Common Symptoms

Usually measured by lab markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha) Associated with accelerated atherosclerosis Plaque instability

Risk Factors

Obesity (visceral adiposity)
Metabolic syndrome
Periodontal disease
Autoimmune conditions
Smoking
Sedentary lifestyle
Poor diet
