Frankincense resin extract with potent anti-inflammatory properties for joints
We rank Boswellia by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Boswellia is a natural extract taken from the resin, which is a thick sticky sap, of the Boswellia tree. This substance is more commonly known as frankincense.
It is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory properties, meaning it helps reduce swelling and redness in the body. This makes it a popular choice for people looking to support their joint health and reduce stiffness.
The process begins by collecting the resin sap from the bark of the tree. This raw resin is then processed using a solvent to extract the active compounds, which are then concentrated into a powder. This powder is finally put into capsules or tablets for sale.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw resin must be harvested from specific tree species in limited geographic regions, making the sourcing more involved than common synthetic ingredients.
