Summary of NF-kB Activity
Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts
Scientific Information on NF-kB Activity
Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect nf-kb activity
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Pycnogenol |
Minor
|
- See study |
A decrease in nF-kB activity has been confirmed in humans given 200mg pycnogenol daily for five days, to the degree of around 15%

Blueberry | - | - See study |
The study to measure nF-kB binding activity in muscle tissue after exercise failed to find an influence of blueberry supplementation.
