About Inflammation — General Health.
Chronic systemic inflammation underlies most modern diseases — heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions.
Audited published research per compound. Drill into a pair for the breakdown.
Bar length counts published studies — green marks studies reporting at least one benefit, slate the other studies (no benefit, unclear or harm); labels read benefit studies / all studies.
◆ marks each compound's research score (0-100): how consistently published studies reported a benefit, weighted by study design. It summarises the research, not how well a compound will work for you.
Compounds with published trial evidence for this condition, ranked by strength of evidence. Each result is put in plain terms and comes from the study itself — open “Exact figures” for the published statistics, or follow the study link to read the paper.
| Compound | Evidence strength | What studies found |
|---|---|---|
| Black Seed OILResearch score 67/100 · Moderate | 6 systematic reviews/meta-analyses — 6 studies | 29/38 outcomes showed benefit

We publish community results for inflammation only once at least 10 people have reported on the same compound — so no individual report is ever shown. Until then, here is the research side on its own.
Used something for inflammation? Sharing how it went for you helps the next person — it is only ever published as part of a group of 10 or more.
