| Boswellia is an herbal extract from the Boswellia serrata tree that may help reduce inflammation. May help with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and cancer. -Naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoids include ursolic acid (UA), oleanolic acid (OA), betulinic acid (BetA), bosewellic acid (BA), Asiatic acid (AA), α-amyrin, celastrol, glycyrrhizin, 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid, lupeol, escin, madecassic acid, momordin I, platycodon D, pristimerin, saikosaponins, soyasapogenol B, and avicin Boswellia refers to a group of resinous extracts obtained from Boswellia trees (e.g., Boswellia serrata). Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, Boswellia is reputed for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory properties. Its bioactive components—such as boswellic acids. Boswellic acids belong to the pentacyclic triterpenoid class (a broader chemical family that includes compounds such as ursolic acid and betulinic acid found in other plants)
3-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA)

-Anti-inflammatory Activity (blocking the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase)
5LOX↓,.-AKBA inhibits methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A)***** (help in Methionine reduced diet?) Boswellia extracts are often administered in doses ranging from 300 mg to 1,200 mg per day AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid) is a bioactive compound derived from Boswellia serrata, a plant used traditionally for its anti-inflammatory properties. (upto 30% AKBA in Boswellia MEGA AKBA) AKBA also available in Inflasanum @ 90% AKDA (MCSformulas) -Note half-life reports vary 2.5-90hrs?.
