Boswellia refers to the dried (gum) resin of the tropical frankincense tree Boswellia serrata. The resin (a viscous 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 been traditionally used for thousands of years as a powerful, natural remedy for joints, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal health, among other things. Boswellia (as an extract) has also been popular and promising as a dietary supplement for decades. Boswellic acids are considered the main active ingredients, of which acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) has been shown in research to be the most effective. Boswellia's main mechanism of action is by regulating the activity of the enzymes 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) through the active ingredient AKBA. Among other things, 5-LOX facilitates the synthesis of certain leukotrienes (locally acting tissue hormones) from arachidonic acid. By helping maintain normal levels of 5-LOX and FLAP, Boswellia contributes to healthy cartilage and supports normal joint function. ✓Boswellia extract is good for supple joints and healthy cartilage*. ✓Boswellia extract supports the respiratory tract*. ✓Boswellia extract contributes to the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract*. * = Health claims pending approval by the European Commission.Composition of Vitals Boswellia-AF: Each capsule contains: Boswellia-extract (AprèsFlex*) 100 mg - of which acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) 20 mg * = AprèsFlex is a registered trademark of Laila Nutraceuticals.Ingredients of Vitals Boswellia-AF: Rice starch (Oryza sativa), vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented cassava starch), boswellia extract (Boswellia serrata).This product is free from: Gluten, lactose, soy, preservatives and synthetic fragrances, colours and flavours.
