1. Part 2 Overview: From Science to Practice
In Part 1, we confirmed that Agarospirol, a key component of Agarwood, inhibits TNF-α, a causative substance of chronic inflammation, by 38%. Now, the important question is "how to utilize it."
"Can I take it with my blood pressure medication?" "How should I take it for maximum effectiveness?" In Part 2, we provide specific answers to these practical questions along with an 8-week recovery protocol.
2. Basic Diagnosis: What is Your Inflammation Level?
Before starting Agarwood, it is important to assess your current state. Please check your blood test results.
| Test Item | Normal Range | Mild Inflammation | Moderate Inflammation | Severe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRP | <3 mg/L | 3~10 | 10~30 | >30 |
| TNF-α | <5 pg/mL | 5~15 | 15~25 | >25 |
đ Self-Diagnosis Checklist
- â 0-2 items: Increased risk of inflammation (Optimal time to start Agarwood)
- â 3-5 items: Moderate chronic inflammation (Immediate intervention needed)
- â 6 or more items: Consultation and treatment by a specialist required

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
