I have looked at the research and one of the ingredients has been studied to be helpful in inflammation related to the heart.

the other ingredient has been tested more extensively for treatment of all types of inflammation.

Thanks

What is SPM?

Posted by etb6855 (Member # 48383) on :

It is made from fish oil; they fractionated the 2 SPM's (specialized pro-resolving mediators) below:

18-HEPE which is the one that has been studied in mice and found to reduce cardiac inflammation and 17-HDHA which has been more widely studied in treatments of all other types of inflammatory disease processes.

Anyway just wanted to see if anyone else has been prescribed it and what your views were.

Sounds like expensive fish oil to me! [Smile]
