- Product Background
The active compound in Boswellia is boswellic acid, and it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Boswellic acid is thought to exert anti-inflammatory effects by preventing the breakdown of connective tissue, and by increasing the blood supply to joint tissues.
Boswellic acid
Boswellia's active components are responsible for anti-inflammatory effects. In studies, these agents have been seen to reduce inflammation by deterring the inflammation of white cells and improving the flow of blood to the joints. In addition, these Boswellia acids have been shown to block the chemical reactions that can be precursors to inflammation.
These acids effectively shrink inflamed tissue by stimulating the growth of cartilage, increase blood supply to inflamed joints, and enhance the repair of local blood vessels damaged by inflammation.
They also block chemical reactions that set the stage for inflammation to occur in chronic intestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
In addition to these anti-inflammatory benefits, Boswellia is thought to reduce inflammation that can be associated with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Boswellia appears to provide this vital relief without the negative side effects often seen with traditional pain relievers. Unlike many other common pain relievers, Boswellia has not been shown to cause stomach upset and other digestive problems.Boswellia has been found, in clinical trials, to significantly reduce the number of asthma attack and improve breathing in people with acute bronchial asthma.
Boswellia may help to ease symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Boswellia can be taken internally as well as applied topically to affected joints to relieve inflammation associated with these joint disorders. Especially Boswellia is thought to be effective against both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.
