| 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)

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?.

| Chemokine Receptor Type 4 (CXCR4) is a G protein-coupled receptor that plays a significant role in various physiological processes, including immune responses, hematopoiesis, and organ development. It is also implicated in cancer biology, where it has been associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and the tumor microenvironment. CXCR4 is often overexpressed in various types of cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Its activation can promote tumor cell proliferation and survival. -CXCR4 proteins associated with metastasis |
