was sind crp werte — can a microbiome test help?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a blood marker for inflammation, routinely used in clinical medicine. Elevated levels can indicate acute or chronic inflammation but are non-specific. A microbiome test cannot directly measure or replace CRP. There is some evidence that gut microbiota influences inflammatory processes, but the evidence for lowering CRP through microbiome analysis is weak and mostly mechanistic. Consumer tests often lack clinically validated action plans. If CRP is elevated, consult a physician; microbiome tests are not a substitute for medical evaluation.
