Our bospure® boswellia is a gum resin produced from the boswellia serrate plant, also known as indian frankincense. The herb has been used for thousands of years in traditional ayurveda. Bospure® is standardized to 75% total organic acids along with 3 specific boswellic acids: (akba) acetyl-11-keto-boswellic acid (10%), acetyl-alpha-boswellic acid and acetyl-beta-boswellic acid. Best of all, this potent, non-gmo, product is made in the usa in our certified cgmp facility. What are acetyl-group boswellic acids? Akba, along with the other acetyl-group boswellic acids are the active compounds in bospure® that inhibit the inflammatory pathway 5-lox. Inhibiting this pathway prevents the breakdown of joints by leukotrienes which are associated with inflammation. Other extracts only contain 1-2% of these potent compounds. Bospure® contains no beta-boswellic acid which is also present in other extracts up to 30% and has been shown to be pro-inflammatory.
