Boswellia serrata is a tree native to India, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. It is commonly used in the traditional Indian medicine system, Ayurveda.
Boswellia serrata contains chemicals that might decrease swelling and increase the body's immune response. Extracts of the Boswellia serrata sap, bark, and other plant parts have been taken by mouth for the therapeutic purpose of decreasing inflammation and modulating the body’s immune response through preventing the formation of Leukotrienes. Research has mainly focused on the effects of Boswellic acid, which makes up 65% of TAILORBLEND’s Boswellia Extract.
Boswellia serrata extract has been used safely in doses up to 1000 mg daily for up to 6 months.
