I happened on these CRP targets today in a Life Extension article.

"The optimal range for C-reactive protein is under 0.55 mg/L in men and under 1.5 mg/L in women."

It's a long article so I'm not posting it but I think it's excellent. "It's called No More Heart Attacks!."

Here's another tidbit: "Vitamin C Reduces C-Reactive Protein

Right after the media put Crestor® on the front pages, a study was published showing that 1,000 mg a day of vitamin C reduces C-reactive protein as well as some statin drugs. Needless to say, this vitamin C study received scant media coverage.

In this University of California at Berkeley study, participants who received vitamin C and started out with C-reactive protein levels greater than 2.00 mg/L had 34% lower levels compared with the placebo group after only two months."
