C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Wellness category mg/L?

• A. >3
• B. <1
• C. 1-3
• D. 0.5-0.9

Answer: (C)

CRP levels tracked with high-sensitivity testing reflect baseline inflammation in the body. In wellness and fitness contexts, a CRP value in the range of 1 to 3 mg/L is considered a healthy, balanced inflammatory status that aligns with good overall health and training adaptation. Values below 1 mg/L can occur in very lean or highly conditioned individuals, but the standard wellness range used here centers on 1–3 mg/L. Values above 3 mg/L indicate higher inflammation, which could be due to infection, chronic disease, or excessive training stress, and would prompt further check. So 1–3 mg/L best fits the wellness category.
