Comparison Table: Baseline vs Post-Treatment Lab Expectations

hsCRP 0.5–5.0 mg/L 20–40% reduction if baseline >2.0 mg/L Reduction = systemic anti-inflammatory effect confirmed Increase dose 20–30%, rule out concurrent inflammation sources Ceruloplasmin 20–60 mg/dL Stable or +10–15% if baseline <25 mg/dL Elevation = coppe

This source-based comparison does not add ratings or recommend a winner.

  • hsCRP
  • 0.5–5.0 mg/L
  • 20–40% reduction if baseline >2.0 mg/L
  • Reduction = systemic anti-inflammatory effect confirmed
  • Increase dose 20–30%, rule out concurrent inflammation sources
  • Ceruloplasmin
  • 20–60 mg/dL
  • Stable or +10–15% if baseline <25 mg/dL
  • Elevation = copper delivery to tissues, suppression = possible overload
  • Add zinc if ceruloplasmin >70 mg/dL, check serum copper
  • Serum Copper
  • 70–140 µg/dL
  • 90–120 µg/dL (mid-range optimal)
  • Mid-range = homeostasis maintained
  • Reduce dose if >140 µg/dL, increase if <80 µg/dL
  • Zinc
  • 60–120 µg/dL
  • Stable, copper-to-zinc ratio 0.7–1.0
  • Stable ratio = balanced mineral status
  • Supplement zinc if ratio >1.2
  • IGF-1
  • Age-adjusted norms
  • Stable or +10–20%
  • Modest increase = enhanced tissue responsiveness
  • Evaluate other peptides or training if >50% increase
