How it works
Boswellic acids inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), blocking leukotriene synthesis and reducing joint inflammation. Unlike NSAIDs, does not inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, reducing gastrointestinal side effects.
Standardised extracts (AKBA content specified) show the most consistent results. Mild GI side effects possible. Safe for most people at standard doses (300â500mg of standardised extract three times daily).
