There are many known health benefits from adding this to your daily food. It is always best to help our body to be healthy rather than to try to treat disease. Some people in Asia and Africa eat this resin as a chewing gum and they therefore get the benefit that way. It has also been used for thousands of years in traditional medicines.
Standardised extracts are a processed form of a raw ingredient until a particular part of the raw ingredient is concentrated to a certain standard, hence the name 'standardised'. 65% boswellic acid standardised extract means that whole frankincense resin is processed until 65% of what's left is boswellic acid and the other 35% is other water-soluble compounds found in frankincense resin.
The main benefit of standardised extracts is that you always get a fixed amount of the thing that you want no matter how much is in the raw ingredient. For example, whole frankincense resin contains varying amounts of boswellic acid from one batch to another, typically between 1% and 5% depending on when and where the resin was harvested. With ratio extracts, such as 10:1 (10%) extract, you cannot be sure of how much boswellic acid you have in your product because you only know that you are getting 10% of what the extract is taken from but not what that 10% is. It could be any 10% of the raw ingredient. Ratio extracts are not made with any one component of the raw ingredient in mind. They are not tested for the concentration of anything within the extract. Of all the components in frankincense resin its the boswellic acid that provides the most benefit to joints and bowels. This has been established by numerous independent scientific researchers. This is why we sell standardised extract of boswellic acid and not the inherently inferior ratio extracts.
Unlike many other sellers, we never add anything to our capsules such as bulking agents, flow agents, fillers, preservatives, colourings, flavourings, or other additives.

Received promptly; cannot vouch for effectiveness
My mother has ordered these several times now. They have always arrived well within the time specified and are well packed. She takes them in combination with other arthritis remedies and cannot vouch for effectiveness one way or the other, not having experimented enough. It would be helpful to see independent verification of composition and effectiveness of this brand. However as it is a relatively inexpensive supplement compared to other products that claim to help with arthritis, and boswellia was found to be one of the most effective supplements by the Arthritis Research Foundation (now merged into Versus Arthritis), she takes these hoping they will help.

I purchased these as part of a painkilling strategy for cervical arthritis, along with Glucosamine, MSM, and HLA. The Boswellia is a great addition to the mix and seems to keep me achefree longer. It is important that the supplement is vegetarian sourced (I'm vegan) so Longevitee's offer was welcome.

Just want to let you know that the Boswellia capsules have reduced the pain in my knees considerably. I can walk again with confidence. Just walking down the stairs is still uncomfortable but with the help of new orthotics I hope to settle the cause of my problem. And the Boswellia has indeed helped the digestion. Wonderful herb.
Thanking you very much.

A friend told me about Boswellia, and I gave it to my dog but I didn't try it myself until recently. I'm amazed at the way my chronic back pain has virtually gone, how my finger joints no longer make my days and nights miserable and how my gut problems appear to have vanished practically overnight. This stuff is better than I ever hoped it would be. I take two capsules twice a day with food, together with curcumin capsules, also two twice a day with food.

Having suffered with back, leg and shoulder pains for sometime and not obtaining any relief from over the counter remedies I was advised to try Boswellia. I am delighted to say that within less than two months there has been a tremendous improvement which enables me to do things which would have been impossible previously.
I certainly would recommend Boswellia to anyone suffering any kind of muscular or joint pain.

It works I suffer with ‘creaky’ knees. I run regularly and have arthritic changes in my knees. I have given my elderly horse boswellia for years and it certainly works for him, so I thought I’d give it a try for me. I took two capsules a day, (only ever remembered the evening dose, more often than not forgot a morning one) and continued with it until I’d finished the two packets. I wasn’t sure that it was making a difference. What did I expect if I was only taking half the recommended dose? I decided that I’d wait to start the next packet and see if my knee pain came back. Well it certainly did. Going up and down stairs was painful and my knees were so sore. So I started the next packet and they’ve improved immediately. So the way to prove if it works is to stop taking it. I shall now be taking it at least twice a day as I’m sure it has made a big difference. I was never going to stop running, so this is the ideal solution. Maybe it will enable me to keep running into my seventies. I might try the powder mixed into some yoghurt and make it cheaper in future. Review by Claire Walker - Guildford
