How Boswellia Works
Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense, has a long history of traditional use for connective tissue and joint support. Its primary active constituents are boswellic acids, naturally occurring triterpenoid compounds found in the plant's gum resin. Pure Encapsulations standardizes its extract to contain 60% boswellic acids for consistent botanical potency. Boswellic acids support healthy 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity and normal leukotriene metabolism, physiological processes associated with maintaining healthy tissue responses. They also help maintain healthy human leukocyte elastase enzyme activity. These complementary actions help support normal joint function, connective tissue integrity, and colon health, making Boswellia a focused option for adults seeking botanical joint support as part of a comprehensive wellness program.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) extract: A gum resin extract standardized to contain 60% boswellic acids. These active plant constituents support healthy 5-lipoxygenase activity and leukotriene metabolism, helping maintain joint comfort, connective tissue integrity, and healthy colon cell function.
- Boswellic acids: Naturally occurring triterpenoid compounds in Boswellia serrata that provide the extract's targeted support for normal musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal function.
