What is Boswellia?
Boswellia refers to the dried (gum) resin of the tropical frankincense tree Boswellia serrata. The resin (syrupy liquid) is released from the tree trunk when the bark is naturally damaged or cut by humans. Boswellia is called a 'gum resin' because it contains both water-soluble (gum) and alcohol-soluble (resin) components. Boswellia has traditionally been used for thousands of years as a powerful, natural remedy for the joints, respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. Boswellia (as an extract) has also been popular and promising as a dietary supplement for decades. It is the boswellic acids that are considered to be the main active substances, of which acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) has been shown to be the most effective in research. Boswellia extracts are therefore usually standardized for a high level of AKBA (naturally, Boswellia contains only 2-3% AKBA). However, the efficacy of a Boswellia extract is not only determined by the content of active substances, but also by the bioavailability of these substances after oral intake. AKBA is relatively poorly absorbed. Improving the bioavailability of AKBA provides greater effectiveness.
Mode of action
The main mechanism of action of Boswellia is to help maintain normal activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) through the active ingredient AKBA. 5-LOX ensures, among other things, the synthesis of certain leukotrienes (locally acting tissue hormones) from arachidonic acid. By helping to maintain normal levels of 5-LOX and FLAP, boswellia contributes to the maintenance of healthy cartilage and supports normal joint function.
