SPM Science

Prolonged sports activity and/or high-intensity sports can provoke inflammation that can be mild, severe, sub-acute or chronic, which may induce pain, endanger performance and time of activity.

Sports injuries that occur with inflammation and pain:

  • Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Stress fractures
  • Concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Fear and anxiety-based disorders

Sports Pro-Resolve is a breakthrough innovation designed to support the athlete’s recovery in a natural way.

What are SPMs?

SPM are natural metabolites biosynthesized in the organism from EPA and DHA, essential to promoting resolution of the inflammatory response and the return to homeostasis (body’s equilibrium).+

How do SPMs work?

The immune system defends our body against infection and injury via the inflammatory response, which is a necessary process timely programmed to end or naturally terminate through SPM’s action.  

However, when the immune system fails to terminate the inflammation process, it can lead to unbalanced health that may possibly become chronic inflammation. This chronic state can be associated with tissue destruction and pain.

Conventional inflammatory treatments are focused on inhibiting, suppressing or blocking the natural acute inflammatory response, delaying or impeding resolution and provoking other side effects. Unlike them, SPMs do not block inflammation, instead, they support the body’s ability to naturally terminate the inflammation process.*+

Sports ProResolve SPMs are targeted to help restore the balance in the immune system’s natural response*.
