boswellia serrata

Boswella (Boswellia serrata) is also known as boswellin or "Indian frankincense," comes from the Boswellia serrata tree. Boswellia. serrata is a large branching tree that grows in the hilly regions of India. Research has identified specific active anti-inflammatory ingredients in Boswellia, which are commonly referred to as boswellic acids. In studies, these acids have been shown to significantly decrease inflammation in several ways. Boswella appears to be able to inhibit inflammation by blocking the synthesis of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause inflammation by promoting free radical damage, calcium dislocation, autoimmune responses, cell adhesion and the migration of inflammation-producing cells to the inflamed body area. They improve blood flow to the joints. Boswellia can help to: ease osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and decrease back pain. Boswellia's anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce aching and stiffness, especially when associated with low back pain. Boswellia is one of the components in Joint and Bone Combo. The other ingredients are Glucosamine,Yucca root,Chondoiton Sulfate, Rose hip, Horsetail, and Flaxseed.
