Natural
Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense)
for Joint Pain
An extract from Boswellia tree resin containing boswellic acids, shown in multiple trials to reduce joint pain and improve function in osteoarthritis.
How it works
Boswellic acids (particularly AKBA) inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and leukotrienes â key mediators of joint inflammation â without inhibiting COX enzymes, avoiding GI side effects.
What to watch for
Look for products standardised to AKBA content. Quality varies between brands. Minor GI upset in some people. May interact with anticoagulants.
