Leading-Edge Science in the Resolution of the Immune ResponseScientists traditionally believed that resolution of the immune response was a passive process.
Recently, research at leading-edge universities discovered that a structured and orderly system
of resolution exists. SPMs are naturally produced in tissues during the resolution phase and
function as “resolution agonists,” orchestrating the completion of immune response and
return to homeostatic balance.*
Join the ResolutionNow you can offer your patients OmegaGenics SPM Active, an exclusive, revolutionary
nutritional product developed through advanced fractionation technology that features
standardized levels of SPMs (17-HDHA and 18-HEPE) from fish oil. SPMs play a key role in
the resolution of an immune response—including supporting cell health and immune cell
resolution-related activities—according to extensive preclinical research.*
