COLUMBUS EFFECTS ON INFLAMMATION

14% drop in CRP

A random double-blind study on healthy students with normal lipid parameters compared the effect of daily intake of two Columbus eggs versus two standard eggs on fasting insulin levels, systolic blood pressure and CRP, a marker of inflammatory status.

After 8 weeks, there was a significant decrease in CRP (-14%), systolic blood pressure (-6%) and fasting insulin (-28%).
