When hs-CRP stays high
A stable high hs-CRP is an inflammation conversation. JUPITER used 2 mg/L and above as an entry criterion for a statin trial. The owner's curcumin rule uses the same marker for a very different bottle.

Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.

What a coach checks first
Redraw when you are well. Over 10 mg/L is usually acute illness. Find the cause before you buy a phytosome.
What this does not mean
It does not mean curcumin is rosuvastatin. JUPITER does not transfer. Plain turmeric powder is not the formulation the better curcumin trials used.
Markers to ask for on the blood test order
Supplements worth asking about, not orders
What people typically order
Ask for hs-CRP on a well day, with a metabolic panel if the clinician wants context. Repeat it before you call the first value a baseline.
When to stop
Retest at about ninety days after one change. If hs-CRP did not move, stop the curcumin. If it moved and you feel worse, stop anyway and call the clinician.
