14 Best Boswellia Serrata supplements to Buy

Boswellia extract is extracted from the resin of the boswellia tree. It is usually used for the joints. However, for proper function, the use of standard boswellia extract is not suitable. This is because the active ingredients are poorly absorbed.

So use only patented extracts such as Casperome, AprèsFlex or 5-Loxin. These are well absorbed.

Therefore use only patented extracts such as Casperome, AprèsFlex or 5-Loxin.

The latest Boswellia extracts

The main limitation in the use of Boswellia is the poor absorbability of pure boswellia. With standard Boswellia extracts, the active ingredients are poorly absorbed in the intestines.

Several raw material manufacturers have developed special boswellia extracts that are well absorbable. The best boswellia products in our assortment make use of one of these 3 patented superior boswellia extracts:

Casperome®

Standardized at ≥25% triterpene acids
Full-spectrum of Boswellia serrata gum resin
Contains CBA and AKBA plus the entirety of boswellic acids
7 times higher plasma values of CBA and 3 times higher uptake of βBA
35 times higher CBA and 3 times higher βBA concentration in the brain
Up to 17 times higher boswellic acid concentration in less perfused organs such as the eyes
1.5-2 hours faster absorption

The active ingredients of Boswellia serrata are better absorbed when it is taken simultaneously with oils and fats. Thorne Boswellia Phytosome contains Casperome®, a patented phytosome form of Boswellia. In this special phytosome form, the Boswellia extract is bound to phosphatidylcholine. This provides increased absorption and higher plasma levels in the blood and tissues.

ApresFlex®

ApresFlex® was conceived in response to the issue of the poor absorbability of Boswellia. Life Extension 5-LOX Inhibitor contains AprèsFLEX®, a true next-generation boswellia extract. The researchers at Laila Nutra, India, have developed a composition based on clinically studied Boswellia Serrata extracts that have a high AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) content. This unique composition increases the bioavailability and bioactivity of AKBA while it also exhibits strong 5-LOX inhibition.

5-Loxin®

Solgar No. 7 contains 5-LOXIN®, a new standardized Boswellia serrata extract with 30% acetyl-11-keto-beta boswellic acid (AKBA), one of the most powerful Boswellia acids. They have developed a new method to produce a product produce a product that has a 10x higher concentration of AKBA than other Boswellia products.

What does Boswellia do?

The resin of the Boswellia serrata (Frankincense) tree is used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for the joints. Laboratory research shows that boswellic acids from this resin bind to the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase that produces so-called leukotrienes. Beta-boswellic acid, keto-beta-boswellic acid, and acetyl-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) have a very strong supportive effect on the joints and the respiratory tract.*

What is AKBA?

AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) is one of the most important substances in a Boswellia extract. AKBA has recently received many good scientific studies and appears to generate strong and repeatable effects.

What is 5-LOX?

5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a member of the lipoxygenase enzyme family that converts fatty acids into leukotrienes. Many foods such as red meat, poultry, eggs and dairy produce arachidonic acid. If the body contains a lot of arachidonic acid, the 5-LOX enzyme is activated. The deactivation of 5-LOX by taking AKBA provides support for the joints.
