Anti-Inflammatory Supplement Guide
Six anti-inflammatory supplements examined honestly by Dr. Mike Hauman — what each is for, when it makes sense, what could go wrong, and what the published evidence actually shows, kept separate from clinical experience. With a quality checklist and a trial plan for deciding whether a product is earning a place to remain in your routine.
"But test everything; hold fast what is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (ESV)
Most supplement guides tell you what to buy. This one tells you how to decide, and where the evidence runs out.
Six products and categories, each with the same eight questions answered: what it is for, when it makes sense, how to use it, what could go wrong, what to track — and then two rows most guides never separate.
Published evidence says what human research has actually shown. Not the mechanism, not the marketing, but the size and consistency of the findings and what they measured. For specialized pro-resolving mediators: these are laboratory measures, and evidence of outcomes in people is still early. For vitamin D: trials support correcting a documented deficiency, while high-dose supplementation in people who are not deficient has not shown broad prevention of chronic disease. For probiotics: findings are strain-specific and rarely transfer between products.
Clinical experience is where Dr. Hauman says plainly what he has seen in his own patients — and labels it as observation rather than evidence. Some patients have responded to a pro-resolving formulation when standard fish oil alone did not work. That is worth knowing. It is not a claim about trial data.
Keeping those two apart is the whole point. A physician's experience can identify useful patterns and guide individual care. It does not replace a well-controlled trial. Guides that blur the two are how people end up with twelve supplement bottles, no plan, and no improvement.
What is covered
Pro-Resolve Omega and Zyflamend, the two specific products named.
Standard EPA and DHA omega-3s, vitamin D, bioavailable curcumin, and probiotics and synbiotics as categories, where form, strain, and dose have to be individualized.
Seven protective principles for starting anything new.
Six questions to ask before the first capsule.
Separate checklists for judging the product and judging your plan.
A personal trial plan with space for who advised each product and when you will reassess.
What is not covered, and why
Foundation first. Food, movement, sleep, body composition, oral health, stress recovery, and treatment of diagnosed diseases all take precedence over supplement selection. A capsule cannot compensate for inflammatory living, replace needed medication, or guarantee symptom resolution — and the guide says that on its first page rather than its last.
What this is and is not
It is educational instruction, not medical advice. Supplements interact with prescription medicines, medical conditions, surgery, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Consult your own healthcare professional before beginning, changing, or stopping anything, particularly with anticoagulants, a heart-rhythm disorder, kidney or liver disease, upcoming surgery, or a history of cancer.

Four of the guide’s six, Pro-Resolve Omega, Zyflamend, vitamin D, and an enhanced-absorption curcumin, are in the Inflammation Reduction protocol.
