Inflammation
Inflammation is a necessary process that becomes a problem when it does not resolve. The formulas here support resolution rather than suppression.
- Omega-3 EPA & DHA
- Turmeric & boswellia
- Quercetin & polyphenols
- Proteolytic enzymes
Four mechanisms, four kinds of product
These formulas reach the same territory by genuinely different routes, which is why they are often used together rather than interchangeably.
Substrate
Omega-3 fatty acids
EPA and DHA are the raw material from which resolving mediators are produced. This is the slowest-acting and most foundational shelf here, and it works by changing what the body has to build with.
Botanical
Turmeric and boswellia
Curcumin and boswellic acids act on inflammatory signaling directly. Formulas built for absorption act within hours rather than weeks, which makes them useful for soreness after exertion.
Flavonoid
Quercetin and polyphenols
Quercetin, hydroxytyrosol from olives, and green tea catechins support antioxidant defense and a measured inflammatory response.
Fast relief and slow change
Acting within hours
Turmeric and boswellia blends formulated for rapid absorption address muscle, joint and post-exertion soreness on a short timescale. Proteolytic enzymes such as serrapeptase sit here too.
Acting over months
Omega-3s and polyphenols change the underlying substrate and antioxidant capacity. Nothing dramatic happens in week one, which is exactly why they are taken continuously.
The stress pattern behind acute inflammation
In this framework a raised sodium/potassium ratio corresponds to the alarm stage of stress, and it is the pattern associated with acute inflammatory activity. That is the opposite end of the scale from the depressed ratio seen in exhaustion — two very different situations that both leave people feeling unwell.
Knowing which end you are at changes what belongs in the plan. Anti-inflammatory support is reasonable in both, but the underlying work is different, and reading that from a chart avoids a good deal of trial and error.
A note on testing. Blood work and hair tissue mineral analysis answer different questions and complement each other. Persistent inflammatory symptoms deserve clinical assessment; these formulas address a nutritional layer alongside that care. The interpretive framework comes from the combined work of Dr. Paul Eck, Dr. Lawrence Wilson and Dr. David Watts at Trace Elements Inc.
High and low look nothing alike — Eileen Durfee
The most useful distinction I can offer here is that the sodium/potassium ratio moves in two directions, and the two mean opposite things.
A raised Na/K reflects the alarm stage — the early, still-fighting phase of stress — and it is the pattern that travels with acute inflammatory activity. A depressed ratio reflects the exhaustion stage. Both people feel unwell and both may describe aches and poor recovery, but they are at opposite ends of the same scale and the work underneath them is different.
That matters practically because anti-inflammatory support alone tends to hold in one case and not the other. Someone in the alarm pattern often responds well to it. Someone whose ratio has inverted usually needs the adrenal picture addressed before anything else sticks — and if all I did was hand them turmeric, I would be treating the smoke.
So the question I ask before recommending anything on this shelf is not how sore someone is. It is which direction their ratio has moved.

Common questions
How long before omega-3s make a difference?
Weeks to months rather than days. EPA and DHA work by changing the raw material available for producing resolving mediators, which is a gradual shift. Turmeric and boswellia formulas act far faster if you need something in the short term.
Can I take turmeric and omega-3 together?
They are commonly used together because they work through different mechanisms — one on signaling, the other on substrate. Anyone on anticoagulant medication should check with their provider, since both can affect platelet behaviour.
What do proteolytic enzymes do here?
Serrapeptase and bromelain break down proteins involved in the inflammatory process and are taken away from food so they act systemically rather than on a meal. They are often used after injury or exertion.
Why does stress keep coming up on an inflammation page?
Because the sodium/potassium ratio associated with the alarm stage of stress travels with acute inflammatory activity. Knowing which direction that ratio has moved changes what the underlying work should be.
Is inflammation always bad?
No. It is a necessary repair process, and the goal in this category is a balanced response that resolves properly rather than the absence of inflammation altogether.
Which direction has your ratio moved?
Raised and depressed sodium/potassium ratios both leave people feeling unwell, and they call for opposite work. A hair tissue mineral analysis shows which pattern you are actually in.
