Chronic systemic inflammation underlies most modern diseases — heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions.
Compounds with published trial evidence for this condition, ranked by strength of evidence. Numbers come from the trial reports themselves — see each study via its PMID.
| Compound | Evidence strength | What trials suggest | Study |
