Traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries to treat various chronic inflammatory diseases.

Works by preventing the formation of leukotrienes in the body, these cause inflammation and can trigger asthma symptoms.

Boswellia specifically works by inhibiting 5-lipooxygenase, which is an enzyme responsible for inflammation. There are multiple forms of boswellia, but the most potent is Acetyl-11-keto-B-boswellic acid (AKBA)
Unlike NSAIDs, which are known to disrupt GAG synthesis, which accelerates articular damage in arthritic conditions, Boswellia significantly reduces GAG degradation, thereby protecting joints.
