Inflammation & Immune

Interleukin 6 [Mass/Vol]

IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine — a chemical signal your immune system uses during stress, infection, injury, or chronic inflammation. In short bursts, IL-6 is helpful (like post-workout). But when it stays elevated, it’s linked to aging, insulin resistance, mood issues, and poor recovery. It’s one of the most direct markers for silent, chronic inflammation.
