Yes Pycnegenol lowers interleukin 6 but these were test tube cell cultures. The lowering of C reactive Protein by Pycnegenol from 3.9 to 1.1 was an in vivo study done on osteoarthritis patients.

Pycnegenol also lowers Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 levels. This MMP9 is involved in metastasis as the protein matrix between cells is dissolved allowing cancer cells to penetrate the tissues.

Coenzyme Q10 seems to lower Interleukin 6 levels and Matrix Metalloprotein levels (not 100% sure about the MMP-9). This caught my attention. This was a Danish study way back where metastatic breast cancer patients with liver mets were given 390 mg Coenzyme Q10 daily and in a few patients the mets disappeared. Maybe you can find that study and put it on the board.

Happy researching
