How It Works
Boswellia has long been used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The resin contains two active compounds, incensole acetate, and incensole, which inhibit cytokines involved in joint discomfort and related tissue damage.
Curcumin is the bioactive compound found in turmeric, well known for regulating cytokines that increase inflammation, worsen joint swelling and contribute to restricted movement. Recent studies have found that combining Curcumin and Boswellia results in synergistically improved benefits.
