Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. In the absence of inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal and progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism. However, inflammation which runs unchecked can also lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is for this reason that inflammation is normally tightly regulated by the body.
Regarding the effect: I do notice an increase in bloodflow and a better
stamina using the pills (I use 50mg). A side-effect I have noticed is that
my nose clogs up so I seem like I have a cold for an hour or so after taking
one pill. No other side-effects than that.
