Compositions comprising long-chain alcohols for the suppression of the concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human blood

Long-chain alcohols based on montan wax alcohols, beeswax alcohols and Guerbet alcohols can be advantageously employed in a means for effectively lowering elevated levels of CRP use. This also has a positive influence on pathophysiological processes is possible, surprisingly, especially coronary heart disease, stroke or complications of rheumatoid diseases associated with elevated CRP levels.
