INFLAMMATION AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE

Prolonged physical activity and high-intensity sports can provoke mild to chronic inflammation that can affect an individual’s performance and recovery.

Anti-inflammatory drugs, like NSAIDs, are commonly used to moderate pain, improve healing time and alleviate swelling associated with injury. However, while they are effective at reducing inflammation in the short run, they also block the natural inflammatory response, leading to immune suppression and other side effects.

Emerging scientific research shows that natural origin lipid mediators, like ‘specialized pro-resolving mediators’ (SPMs), may support tissue repair and regeneration following sport activity by helping to resolve inflammation without compromising the immune response; aiding overall performance and also reducing recovery time following injury.
