Boswellamine

Boswellamine is designed to deliver a full dosage of glucosamine sulfate, an anti-inflammatory agent that is especially valued for treating degeneration of the joints. Glucosamine, present in the most active form as a sulfate, is a building block of the cartilage and lubricating fluid of the joints. It has been reported that in double-blind studies, osteoarthritis symptoms could be alleviated with about 6-8 weeks administration of glucosamine sulfate at 500 mg each time, three times daily. In several commercial products, glucosamine is combined with chondroitin, a complexed form of glucosamine; however, recent studies suggest that this addition is unnecessary, as the chondroitin must be broken down to glucosamine for absorption and utilization. Glucosamine is provided here along with the traditional combination of dipsacus, myrrh, and frankincense, which are used to help regenerate tissues and alleviate pain. Dipsacus is a yang tonic with blood vitalizing and regenerative properties; myrrh and frankincense contain resins that have been shown to have powerful effects on inflammatory processes, Boswellic acid, a component of frankincense, helps alleviate joint inflammation, especially osteoarthritis, as confirmed by several clinical trials.*
