Asthma too, like heart disease, is also a disease characterized by inflammation. In fact, a whole bunch of chronic ailments that affect Americans are caused by inflammation. Think you're immune? Tell me, have you ever experienced tendonitis? That's simply chronic inflammation. How about just plain muscle soreness? Training damages muscle. Muscles get inflamed.

They can't. Full Description: http://www.biotest.co.uk/products_info.php?id=7  |
