Benefits and Main Uses of Boswellia Serrate Extract %65 Boswellic Acid
- Joint and cartilage health: A meta-analysis including seven clinical studies with 545 patients reported that Boswellia extract reduces pain and stiffness and improves joint function in osteoarthritis.
- Inflammation support: Boswellic acids reduce the formation of inflammatory mediators by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and COX-2 enzymes.
- Digestive system (traditional): Traditionally used in conditions of intestinal inflammation such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.
- Respiratory tract (limited evidence): There is traditional use in asthma and allergic respiratory complaints; however, the level of evidence is limited.
Mechanism of Action and Active Components
Boswellic acids in the resin, especially AKBA, inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme responsible for leukotriene B4 production and COX-2; thus, prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene levels decrease and the inflammatory response is reduced.

The powder form is used as an active ingredient in tablet blends, as a filler for capsules (gelatin/HPMC), and in powder blends/sachet products. Since it is not water-soluble, suspension/solvent compatibility is evaluated for liquid formulations.
