Boswellia Extract 250 mg Veg Capsules 120s

Three studied uses of Boswellia against inflammation include:

Osteoarthritis - In one study on the effects of Boswellia on osteoarthritis, researchers found that Boswellia helped reduce pain over four weeks.

Asthma - Boswellia can help reduce the inflammation in the airways that makes breathing difficult. Participants with mild to severe asthma were placed in a randomized trial with an inhaler plus an oral formulation of Boswellia extract versus those with an inhaler alone. Those who used the Boswellia extract needed their inhalers about half as often as those without the supplement.

Inflammatory bowel disease - There has been debate about the effectiveness of Boswellia for inflammation in the bowels. A small study showed Boswellia as an effective way to treat chronic colitis. However, another investigation on Boswellia’s use for Crohn’s disease showed no effect.

If you plan to take Boswellia, you must take it as an extract or supplement, as the resin is not water-soluble.
