Boswellin is a Boswellia serrata extract standardized to a high amount of acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA). AKBA is the most studied compound for supporting the body’s healthy response to inflammation. This extract delivers a consistent AKBA level, often lower in standard Boswellia products.
People take Boswellin for joint comfort and mobility. It is best taken with food to help stomach tolerance. Follow the product’s dosing instructions; the amount varies by brand.
Boswellin may raise bleeding risk, especially if you take blood-thinning drugs. Stop using it at least two weeks before any planned surgery. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid it because safety is unknown.
