<br>

I really love Marley’s quick responses and the fact that I can purchase a 6 month supply rather than running to the drugstore every 30/90 days. The staff is wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable.  I love working with Terri Reid. I would recommend Marley to friends.

The Wholesale Price List made my prescription easy to afford,  I was about to cancel my prescription because my monthly cost with insurance was almost $150!  Now I can get a 6-month supply for only $37, which is much less money than a one month supply using my insurance. Thanks Dee for calling and letting me know my options!

Great Pharmacy. If your insurance company will not pay, you can get medications. A lot cheaper.

Check out this mail in pharmacy. My cardiologist referred me to them for best price on cholesterol lowering med. I found them to be helpful, professional and provide prompt service.

As soon as my doctor submitted the prescription, I was contacted by Terri, who explained the process and set up delivery to my home. It could not have been easier!

<p>Have you ever asked your pharmacist what the cash-price is for your medication?<br>
Probably not, but you should!<br>
Most of our patients are shocked when they learn how much they can save by paying cash for their medications, rather than using the traditional route of applying their insurance and paying what they felt was a ‘small copay’.</p>

</div>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">What does it mean to pay cash for your prescriptions?</h3>

<p>Paying cash for your prescriptions means that you are paying for your medications <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;"> without using any insurance.</span>  The cost associated with this price includes the cost for the pharmacy to acquire the medication at a wholesaler, pharmacy dispensing fees, and an arbitrary mark-up for the pharmacy to make money. That mark-up is usually pharmacy dependent.</p>


<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Why is the cash-price different than the insurance-price?</h3>

<p><strong>General Assumption</strong>: One would think using insurance should always be less than paying cash.<br>

In reality, the cash-price and insurance-price are two separate things.<br>

The <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;"> insurance price</span>, the price you pay for medications using your insurance at the pharmacy is decided by your insurance company and the <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/congressman-comer-investigates-pbms-and-rising-healthcare-costs-inside-view-from-a-pharmacy-and-drug-manufacturer">pharmacy benefit manger (PBM)</a> they hired to negotiate a “better price” for you.</p>

<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203;  padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;"><strong>Did you know?</strong> The pharmacy has no say in the price when you use insurance.</div>

<p><span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;">Reason for the price discrepancy: </span>While we as a pharmacy can purchase the medication for next to nothing, your insurance company and their PBM may have negotiated a different price and then marked it up a bit to make some money for their services.</p>

<p>We as a pharmacy have to offer that price to you based on what they negotiated and decided on, even if we can offer it to you for less!</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Why haven’t I heard about this better offer?</h3>

<p><strong>Gag clauses </strong>have prevented pharmacists from telling you about a better deal.</p>

<p>You may not have heard that paying cash can often be cheaper that using insurance, and that’s likely because of <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif; color:#333333;">unethical laws</span> that currently exist preventing pharmacists from telling you about a better deal.</p>

<p>There are gag clause contracts with pharmacies and PBMs that prevent pharmacists from telling patients about affordable alternatives.</p>

<p>Some good news though, on October 10, 2018, <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600;">Bill S.2553, Know the Lower Price Act</span> was instated <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600;">which allows pharmacists to inform patients under Medicare or Medicare Advantages plans of lower-price cash options</span>.</p>

<div style="margin: 30px 15px 30px 15px; background-color: #fee203; padding: 20px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; line-height: 160%;">This bill prohibits a prescription drug plan under Medicare or Medicare Advantage from restricting a pharmacy from informing an enrollee of any difference between the price, co-payment, or co-insurance of a drug under the plan and a lower price of the drug without health-insurance coverage (such restrictions are commonly referred to as gag clauses).</div>

<p>While many laws still need to be changed to prevent these unethical practices, this new bill is a great step in the right direction to provide price transparency for patients.</p>



<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">How can it be more affordable to pay for prescriptions without insurance?</h3>

<p>Paying for your prescriptions with insurance can cost more because it requires more steps to get your medications through the <a style="color: #222222; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:.125em solid #5ba2b6;" href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supply chain</a>.</p>


<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;"><strong>Did you know?</strong> When you use your insurance, there is an extra player involved: the PBM middlemen, who are paid by your insurance company to negotiate better pricing with drug manufacturers.</div>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/0092b4de-f216-453f-9522-6e2cef93c920/bl-cashprice-steps-3.png" alt="Cash price vs copay" width="100%" height="auto">
<br><br>

<p>Built into these overcomplicated negotiations are administrative fees as well as unethical pricing strategies, termed <u><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/how-spread-pricing-increases-prices-of-generic-drugs">spread pricing</a></u>, which can profusely inflate the cost of medications.</p>

<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203;  padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;">According to a recent analysis by Kaiser Health News, the price of medications when using health insurance can add costs of up to $30 per prescription.</div>

<p>These PBM and insurance company middlemen have been getting away with this unethical practice for decades and ultimately costing both employers and patients hundreds of millions more for the cost of generic medications.</p>

<p>In recent years, some states have introduced new laws to fight high drug prices and restrict practices that are costing taxpayers hundreds of millions every year.</p>

<p>Paying the cash price for your prescription means you can bypass the additional fees and middlemen which cause price inflation when you pay with insurance.</p>


<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Don’t assume your insurance is saving you money</h3>

<p>$10 per month is the national average copay for generic medications.</p>

<p><strong>The Assumption: </strong>The assumption we all make is that our insurance copay is a good deal for us. With an average $10 copay, one would assume the medication costs a lot more than $10, especially since your insurance is also paying for some of it.</p>

<p><strong>The Reality: </strong>The reality is that most generic medications cost next to nothing for pharmacies to buy. That $10 copay you are paying is extremely inflated and you and your insurance provider are overpaying for your medications. In fact, using your insurance may be costing you more.</p>



<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;">Millions of Americans skip doses or stop taking their prescription because of the cost&mdash;the medications you need should always be affordable</div>
&nbsp;

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Real Life Example&mdash;How paying with insurance costs you more</h3>

<p>Many of our customers are often shocked to learn that paying cash is often less expensive than using insurance.</p>



<div style="padding: 20px 5%; font-size: 1em; line-height:170%; font-weight:400; color:#ffffff; border:solid .25em #5ba2b6; background-color:#5ba2b6; margin-bottom:30px;">

<h4>Here’s a real-life example:</h4>

<p>Janice has a prescription for rosuvastatin (generic Crestor<sup>®</sup>) and wants to find the best savings for her medication. When Janice uses her insurance, she pays a copay of $10.00 a month. She assumes this is a good deal for her because the price she sees at the pharmacy, the price the PBM “negotiated” for her is $80 a month and Janice’s insurance covers $70 of the prescription giving her an 87.5% savings.</p>

<p>If Janice had asked for the cash price, she would be shocked to learn that her same rosuvastatin prescription is available at the cash price for less than her $10 copay.</p>

<p>At Marley Drug, Janice could get rosuvastatin (generic Crestor<sup>®</sup>) for $6.17 per month with a 6-month supply (38% less than a $10 copay) or $5.83 per month with a 12-month supply (41% less than a $10 copay.) That’s because it’s on a list of over 100 generic medications that we offer on <a style="color:#ffffff; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:0.125em solid #fee203; " href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a>. </strong></p>

</div>


<p>An important point not to be overlooked; Janice’s insurance plan is also paying a lot of money for this medication&mdash;$70/month! That’s an additional $840/year of healthcare costs on top of the extra $50 Janice is paying compared to our price.</p>

<p>What may seem like a low copay that is beneficial for patients is actually riddled with hidden fees by unethical middlemen. This ultimately drives up the cost of healthcare and increases the costs you and/or your employer pay for your health plan.</p>

<p>Whether you have a high copay, or a <a style="color: #222222; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:.125em solid #5ba2b6;" href="https://www.marleydrug.com/never-going-to-pay-through-your-high-deductible-save-money-by-paying-cash-at-marley-drug/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high deductible</a>, our savings programs at Marley Drug often save you money!</p>

Understanding Drug Pricing

How Paying Cash for Your Prescriptions Can Cost Less Than Your Copay

<p>Many online pharmacies have sprung up all over the country lately. They all seem to offer the same thing: low cost, convenience, and fast delivery. So, how do you know which ones are good? More importantly, can you trust them?  We compiled a checklist to make it easy for you to choose.  Use the list below when comparing online pharmacies and make an informed decision. </p>


<h2>    Certification </h2>

<p>Make sure the pharmacy you choose is a licensed US pharmacy and is also licensed to dispense and ship your medication to your location. The NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) has a list of <a href="https://safe.pharmacy/buy-safely/">accredited online pharmacies</a>.  Verified pharmacies should display the .Pharmacy (dot pharmacy) certificate on their website.   <p>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/a1813159-fcfd-41da-b8a1-8671f90c2397/legitscript.png" alt="LegitScript" width="100" height="auto" style="display:inline; max-width:100%; padding-right:20px;">

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/b5afce91-2bba-4990-abdf-9510c3fb20fd/dotpharmacy.png" alt="Dot Pharmacy" width="150" height="auto" style="display:inline; max-width:100%;">

<p>Another certification that shows sites’ credibility is <a href="https://nationalpositions.com/legitscript-certification-what-is-it-and-does-your-business-need-it/" target="_blank">LegitScript</a>. When you see the  LegitScript badge on a website, it means the company is legitimate, legal, and trustworthy. </p>

<h2>    Prescriptions Required </h2>

<p>Certain “online pharmacies” may not require a prescription for certain medications. This is illegal distribution. Be sure that you are asked to upload your prescription or give your current pharmacies information before ordering. <p>

<h2>    Transparent (and Affordable) Pricing </h2>

<p>If a pharmacy is upfront about how they price their medications and offer generic medication alternatives instead of just the pricey name brands, that is a sign they most likely prioritize patient care over profit. <p>

<h2>    Customer Service Support </h2>

<p>Just because a pharmacy is online, doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a relationship with the customer. Look for a pharmacy that values customer feedback. Also, look for one that is easy to contact. Do they only have an email? Or do they also have a phone line and social media accounts with open direct messages to help you or answer any questions that you may have? The more available the better! <p>

<h2>    Refill and Pharmacy Switching </h2>

<p>Look at what their process for changing to their pharmacy is and how they process refills. The best online pharmacies will make switching and refills as simple as possible. This information should also be easy to find. You don’t want to switch to an online pharmacy to save time only to find out you need to call and be on hold for hours to get your refills. <p>

<h2>    Flexible Wholesale Options </h2>

<p>Medication is typically cheapest when bought in bulk. If you have medications you plan to take for your whole life, or at least the foreseeable future, look for pharmacies that can fill <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/5-reasons-why-filling-your-medications-in-longer-supply-may-save-you-time-and-money">long-term prescriptions</a> at a discounted price to the typical monthly or quarter annually refills. <p>

<h2>Bonus: Information and Resources </h2>

<p>Some online pharmacies may also create content (blogs, email subscriptions) to inform their customers and foster a pharmacy-patient relationship. Although this may not speak to the reputability of the pharmacy, it may give you more of an insight into their values and resources. So it may be a good idea to browse the pages on their website before making a final decision. <p>

6 Things to Look for When Choosing an Online Pharmacy

<h5 style="line-height:1.6; border-left:5px solid #fee203; padding-left:20px; margin:30px 4%;">C-reactive protein (CRP) and cholesterol are both markers of heart disease risk, and their relationship to inflammation in the body. While cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, high levels of CRP can indicate inflammation in the body, which can also contribute to the development and progression of heart disease. Lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, stress reduction, and quitting smoking can help reduce both CRP and cholesterol levels and ultimately reduce the risk of heart disease.</h5>

<h2>What is CRP?</h2>

<p>CRP stands for C-reactive protein, which is a type of protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. Elevated levels of CRP in the blood can be a marker for various medical conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>Measuring CRP levels can help diagnose and monitor these conditions, as well as assess the effectiveness of treatment. In some cases, CRP testing may also be used to predict the risk of developing certain diseases, <a href="https:///www.marleydrug.com/blog/ascvd-risk-calculator">such as heart disease</a> or diabetes. However, it is important to note that CRP levels can also be elevated for other reasons, such as smoking or obesity, so a high level of CRP alone does not necessarily indicate a specific medical condition.</p>

<h2>Does CRP indicate something is wrong?</h2>

<p>An elevated CRP level can indicate that there is something wrong in the body. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation, so an elevated CRP level suggests that there is inflammation occurring somewhere in the body. Inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, injury, or a chronic health condition.</p>

<p>However, it is important to note that an elevated CRP level is not specific to a particular condition and does not provide a diagnosis on its own. It is typically used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests and medical evaluations to help identify the underlying cause of the inflammation. Additionally, some people may have elevated CRP levels for reasons that are not related to inflammation or a medical condition, such as smoking or obesity. Therefore, an elevated CRP level should always be interpreted in the context of a comprehensive medical evaluation.</p>

<h2>How is CRP related to heart disease?</h2>

<p>CRP is related to heart disease because it is a marker of inflammation, and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/cholesterol-and-inflammation-the-fuel-and-the-spark-of-cardiovascular-disease" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">inflammation is thought to play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease</a>. Elevated levels of CRP have been found in people with heart disease and are associated with an increased risk of heart attack, <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/what-is-stroke">stroke</a>, and other cardiovascular events.</p>

<p>Inflammation can contribute to the development of heart disease in several ways. For example, it can cause damage to the lining of blood vessels, leading to the formation of plaque, which can narrow the arteries and restrict blood flow to the heart. Inflammation can also make the blood more prone to clotting, which can increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.</p>

<p>Because of its association with inflammation, CRP testing is sometimes used as a screening tool for cardiovascular disease. Elevated CRP levels may indicate an increased risk of heart disease, even in people who have no other risk factors, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. However, it is important to note that CRP testing is not recommended as a routine screening test for heart disease, and should only be done in certain circumstances, such as when a person is at intermediate risk for heart disease and further evaluation is needed.</p>

<h2><strong>How are cholesterol and CRP related to each other?</strong></h2>

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/high-cholesterol" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cholesterol</a> and CRP are both biomarkers that are used to assess a person's risk for cardiovascular disease, but they measure different aspects of risk.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/cholesterol-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-care" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cholesterol is a waxy substance</a> that is produced by the liver and found in certain foods. There are two types of cholesterol: LDL (low-density lipoprotein), often called "bad" cholesterol, and HDL (high-density lipoprotein), often called "good" cholesterol. <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/important-cholesterol-markers-you-should-know-about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">High levels of LDL cholesterol</a> can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>CRP, on the other hand, is a protein that is produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. High levels of CRP can be a sign of inflammation, which has been linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>While high levels of LDL cholesterol and CRP can both be risk factors for cardiovascular disease, they measure different aspects of risk. Elevated LDL cholesterol levels contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, while high CRP levels indicate inflammation in the body, which can contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>It's worth noting that high levels of inflammation in the body can also contribute to the development of high cholesterol levels. Therefore, reducing inflammation through lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, and stress reduction techniques may help to lower both CRP and cholesterol levels, ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.</p>

<h2>How are cholesterol and inflammation related to heart disease?</h2>

<p>The relationship between cholesterol and inflammation in the development of heart disease is complex and not fully understood. Cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, as high levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This buildup of plaque can lead to narrowing of the arteries, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.</p>

<p>Inflammation, on the other hand, is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic or long-term inflammation can contribute to the development and progression of heart disease. Elevated CRP levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, and it has been suggested that inflammation may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in the arteries) and the rupture of plaques, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.</p>

<p>Both cholesterol and inflammation are important factors that contribute to the development and progression of heart disease, and reducing both may help to reduce the risk of heart disease.</p>


<h2>Is cholesterol or CRP a better marker for heart disease?</h2>

<p>Both cholesterol and CRP are useful markers for assessing a person's risk of developing heart disease, but they measure different aspects of risk.</p><p>Cholesterol is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease. High levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Therefore, monitoring cholesterol levels and taking steps to reduce high levels of LDL cholesterol is an important part of preventing heart disease.</p>

<p>CRP, on the other hand, is a marker of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic or long-term inflammation can contribute to the development and progression of heart disease. Elevated CRP levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, and monitoring CRP levels may be helpful in identifying individuals at risk for heart disease who may benefit from lifestyle changes or medications to reduce inflammation.</p>

<p>Overall, both cholesterol and CRP are important markers of heart disease risk, and both should be considered when assessing an individual's risk for heart disease. However, the optimal approach to assessing and managing heart disease risk depends on a variety of factors, including an individual's overall health, medical history, and other risk factors for heart disease. Therefore, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate approach for managing heart disease risk.</p>

<h2>How can I lower my CRP levels?</strong></h2>

<p>There are several lifestyle changes that can help lower CRP levels:</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/cholesterol-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-care" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Exercise regularly</strong></a><strong>: </strong>Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body and lower CRP levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, most days of the week.</li>

<li><strong>Follow a healthy diet: </strong>A diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats can help reduce inflammation and lower CRP levels. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods high in saturated and trans fats.</li>

<li><strong>Maintain a healthy weight: </strong>Being overweight or obese can contribute to inflammation in the body, so maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is important for reducing CRP levels.</li>

<li><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/quitting-smoking-a-difficult-but-important-decision" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Quit smoking</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Smoking is a major cause of inflammation in the body, so quitting smoking is one of the most effective ways to lower CRP levels.</li>

<li><strong>Manage stress:</strong> Chronic stress can lead to inflammation in the body, so finding ways to manage stress, such as through meditation, yoga, or relaxation techniques, may help lower CRP levels.</li>

<li><strong>Take medications as prescribed: </strong>In some cases, medications may be needed to reduce inflammation and lower CRP levels. These may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or medications that target specific inflammatory pathways.</li>
</ul>

<p>It is important to note that while these lifestyle changes may help lower CRP levels, they should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment if a medical condition is causing elevated CRP levels. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of elevated CRP levels and develop an appropriate treatment plan.</p>


<h2>Are there any medications that can help lower CRP levels?</h2>

<p>There are several medications available that can help reduce CRP levels, thereby potentially lowering your risk of heart disease.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/lodoco-colchicine">LoDoCo (colchicine):</a></strong>: LoDoCo is the <strong>first anti-inflammatory medication approved to lower the risk of a cardiac event by 31%</strong> in those who have that have cardiovascular disease. LoDoCo has anti-inflammatory effects that can lower CRP levels. It works by affecting white blood cells' behavior and reducing the production of certain proteins involved in the inflammatory process.</li>

<li><strong><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/compare-statins">Statins:</a></strong> Primarily used to lower cholesterol, statins have also been shown to reduce CRP levels. They work by inhibiting an enzyme needed for cholesterol production in the liver, which also leads to decreased inflammation throughout the body.</li>

<li>Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Medications like ibuprofen and aspirin can reduce inflammation and lower CRP levels. However, they should be used cautiously and under a doctor's supervision due to potential side effects, especially with long-term use.</li>

<li>Corticosteroids: These powerful anti-inflammatory medications can significantly reduce CRP levels by suppressing the immune system and inflammation. They are used for various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions but come with a risk of side effects, especially with prolonged use.</li>
</ul>
<p>It's important to note that while these medications can help lower CRP levels, they may not be suitable for everyone and can have side effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, especially if you aim to manage inflammation or lower your CRP levels.</p>

<h2>Are there any supplements that can help lower CRP levels?</h2>

<p>There are some supplements that have been studied for their potential to lower CRP levels. However, it's important to note that while these supplements may have some anti-inflammatory properties, their effects on CRP levels may be modest and not consistent across all studies. Additionally, supplements can have side effects and can interact with medications, so it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any supplements.</p>

<p>Some supplements that have been studied for their potential to lower CRP levels include:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Omega-3 fatty acids:</strong> Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and may help lower CRP levels.</li>

<li><strong>Vitamin D:</strong> Some studies have suggested that low levels of vitamin D may be associated with elevated CRP levels, and that vitamin D supplements may help lower CRP levels.</li>

<li><strong>Curcumin: </strong>Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties and has been studied for its potential to lower CRP levels.</li>

<li><strong>Probiotics: </strong>Some studies have suggested that probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that live in the gut, may help lower CRP levels by reducing inflammation in the body.</li>
</ul>

<p>Again, it is important to note that the effects of these supplements on CRP levels are not consistent across all studies, and that supplements should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment if a medical condition is causing elevated CRP levels. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before taking any supplements.</p>

<p><strong>What should I eat if I have elevated CRP levels?</strong></p>

<p>There is evidence to suggest that following an anti-inflammatory diet may help reduce overall inflammation in the body. An anti-inflammatory diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods that are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, while limiting foods that are high in refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and saturated and trans fats. Here are some general principles of an anti-inflammatory diet:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Focus on whole foods: </strong>Choose whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. These foods are rich in nutrients and antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation.</li>

<li><strong>Choose healthy fats: </strong>Choose healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds, which are rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.</li>

<li><strong>Limit refined carbohydrates and added sugars: </strong>Foods that are high in refined carbohydrates and added sugars can contribute to inflammation in the body. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods made with white flour.</li>

<li><strong>Include lean protein: </strong>Choose lean protein sources such as fish, chicken, turkey, and legumes. These foods are rich in nutrients and can help reduce inflammation.</li>

<li><strong>Avoid or limit red meat:</strong> Red meat can be high in saturated fat, which can contribute to inflammation. Limit your intake of red meat and choose leaner cuts when you do eat it.</li>

<li><strong>Spice it up: </strong>Many herbs and spices, such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon, have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to flavor your meals.</li>

<li><strong>Drink plenty of water: </strong>Staying hydrated is important for overall health and can help reduce inflammation.</li>
</ul>

<p>Remember that every individual's needs and preferences are different, so it is important to work with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to develop a personalized nutrition plan that meets your individual needs and helps reduce overall inflammation in your body.</p>

<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>

<p>Heart disease is a complex and multifactorial condition, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing it. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced and nutritious diet, stress management, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering both cholesterol levels and inflammation in the body. Additionally, working with a healthcare provider to monitor cholesterol levels, CRP levels, and other risk factors for heart disease and to develop an individualized plan for reducing the risk of heart disease is important for maintaining heart health.</p>
