How it works
Boswellic acids (particularly AKBA) inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and leukotrienes โ key mediators of joint inflammation โ without inhibiting COX enzymes, avoiding GI side effects.
Look for products standardised to AKBA content. Quality varies between brands. Minor GI upset in some people. May interact with anticoagulants.

โSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.โ
