Chronic inflammation is a hidden contributor to many modern health conditions. Inflammation is a natural and necessary part of the immune response, however problems arise when it continues long-term. This low-level, ongoing immune activation can gradually damage tissues and organs, contributing to fatigue, joint pain and many aspects of health.
