Inflammation
Biomarker
hs-CRP
Included in Blueprint
Why we test it
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is a marker of systemic inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates neurodegeneration, damages the blood-brain barrier, and is consistently associated with cognitive decline.
BetterBrain target
< 1.0 mg/L (standard: < 3.0)
Standard labs consider < 3.0 acceptable. Brain-health research links levels above 1.0 to accelerated neurodegeneration.
