Boswellia 120’s

Benefits & Features:

Boswellia serrata is an Ayurvedic herb that has a long history of use for connective tissue and joint support. Boswellic acids, the active terpenoid constituents of boswellia, may maintain healthy 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity and healthy leukotriene metabolism. In addition, boswellic acids may maintain healthy human leukocyte elastase enzyme activity. The combination of these two actions is believed to be unique to boswellia. As a result of its effect on 5-lipoxygenase, boswellia also plays a key role in supporting colon health.

• Joint Support: Boswellia is best known for supporting healthy connective tissue and joints.
• Supports Colon Health: As a result of its effect on 5-lipoxygenase and healthy leukotriene metabolism, boswellia may also play a key role in supporting colon health.
• Healthy Enzyme Activity: Boswellic acids may also support healthy 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity, healthy leukotriene metabolism and healthy human leukocyte elastase enzyme activity, a combination of benefits believed to be unique to boswellia.

Verifiable Science:

Boswellic acids, the active terpenoid constituents of boswellia, may promote the activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, maintaining healthy leukotriene metabolism in tissues that surround the joints.1 In addition, boswellic acids may maintain healthy human leukocyte elastase enzyme activity, helping to maintain healthy connective tissue integrity.2 As a result of its effect on 5-lipoxygenase, boswellia may also play a key role in supporting healthy colon cell function.3
