Inflammation in body tissues and organs is often caused by injury or disease, and many times prolonged inflammation can lead to structural and functional damage. To help control inflammation, the body produces natural anti-inflammatory factors.
During the inflammation response the site of injury releases chemical signals to alert the immune defenses of the body. Special cells in the blood then rush to the site, releasing enzymes and chemical mediators that protect the site of infection, surgery, or other accident. In chronic situations, sometimes the body’s defense response can overreact and actually inflict damage to the site trying to heal.
The results of studies published in peer reviewed journals demonstrate that daily consumption of SMBI milk products relieves inflammation and helps protect against functional damage caused by acute and chronic inflammation.
Included among the potential anti-inflammatory applications for SMBI technologies are consumer milk products as well as SMBI ingredients used in the development of foods and nutritional supplements. These applications would be designed to support the body's own natural defense mechanisms by helping to control and limit harmful inflammation.
