Boswellia Serrata Extract (Boswellic Acid)

CAS 97952-72-2 / 471-66-9

Product Overview

Boswellia Serrata Extract is a standardized botanical powder derived from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense or salai guggul. It is rich in boswellic acids (triterpenes), primarily β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid, and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) – the most bioactive and clinically studied compound with potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Boswellia extract works by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), an enzyme responsible for producing inflammatory leukotrienes, making it a natural alternative for supporting joint health, digestive comfort, and overall inflammatory balance without the side effects associated with conventional NSAIDs.

Our Boswellia Serrata Extract is manufactured via standardized solvent extraction and purification, ensuring consistent quality and high bioavailability. Available in multiple standardization levels to suit diverse application needs.

Key Active Compounds:

AKBA – Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (most potent)

β-Boswellic Acid

Acetyl-β-Boswellic Acid

11-Keto-β-Boswellic Acid

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What are boswellic acids and why are they important?

A: Boswellic acids are the active triterpenoid compounds in Boswellia serrata resin, responsible for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The four major types are: β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid, and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA). AKBA is considered the most bioactive and potent. Our extracts are standardized to total boswellic acids (≥65%) or specific AKBA content (10%–30%).

Q2: How does boswellia extract work?

A: Boswellia extract is a natural 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme responsible for producing inflammatory leukotrienes, providing a unique mechanism of action distinct from COX inhibitors. It also may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, CRP) and protect cartilage by suppressing MMP enzymes. This makes it effective for joint, digestive, and respiratory inflammation support.

Q3: What is the recommended dosage?

A: For dietary supplements, typical dosages are 250–600 mg/day of extract standardized to ≥65% boswellic acids. Clinical studies have used 100–500 mg daily for joint health support. Higher doses (up to 1,000 mg daily) have been used in clinical trials for more pronounced effects. For AKBA-enriched extracts (10%–30%), lower dosages (100–250 mg/day) may be effective. Always consult a healthcare professional before use.

Q4: What is the difference between boswellic acids 65% and AKBA 30%?

A: 65% Boswellic Acids is the industry standard, measuring total boswellic acid content, cost-effective for mass market supplements. AKBA 30% is a highly purified form enriched for the most potent anti-inflammatory component (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid), delivering stronger and more consistent inhibition of 5-LOX at lower dosages. We supply both grades, along with intermediate AKBA concentrations (10%, 20%).

Q5: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

A: Yes, free samples (10–50g) are available for quality evaluation. You only pay for shipping. Contact our sales team to arrange.

Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: For standard 65% boswellic acid grade, MOQ is 25kg (one fiber drum). For AKBA-enriched grades and ratio extracts, MOQ is 1kg. Smaller MOQ available for sample orders.

Q7: Is our boswellia extract vegan and non-GMO?

A: Yes, our boswellia extract is 100% plant-derived, suitable for vegan and vegetarian supplements. It is produced via solvent extraction without animal derivatives. Non-GMO verification and vegan certification are available upon request.

Q8: Do you provide Kosher, Halal, or organic certification?

A: Yes. We can provide Kosher, Halal, USDA Organic, and EU Organic certificates for our boswellia extract products. Documentation fees may apply for certain certifications. GMO-free status is standard.

Q9: What documents do you provide with each shipment?

A: Each shipment includes Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), specification sheet, commercial invoice, packing list, and origin certificate. Third-party inspection (SGS, Eurofins, Bureau Veritas) can be arranged at buyer‘s cost.

Q10: How stable is boswellia extract in supplement formulations?

A: Boswellia extract is stable under normal processing conditions. However, it should be protected from high temperatures (>80°C) and prolonged light exposure. For liquid formulations, we recommend using it in oil-based or encapsulated systems for optimal stability. Our technical team can provide specific formulation guidance.

Q11: What is the lead time for bulk orders?

A: 7–15 days for standard 25kg drums. For custom grades (AKBA-specific, ratio extracts) or OEM packaging, 20–30 days. Stock items can ship within 3–5 days.

Q12: Can boswellia extract be combined with other ingredients?

A: Yes, boswellia is commonly combined with curcumin (turmeric), glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and ashwagandha for synergistic effects. Clinical studies have shown enhanced efficacy when combined with curcumin for joint health support.

Q13: What are the payment terms?

A: T/T (30% deposit, 70% balance before shipment), L/C at sight, or Western Union. For long-term partners, net 30 days may be available upon credit approval.

Q14: Which countries do you ship to?

A: Worldwide. We regularly ship to USA, Canada, EU, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

Q15: Is boswellia extract safe for long-term use?

A: Yes, boswellia extract has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Modern clinical studies of up to 6 months duration have shown a good safety profile with minimal side effects (mild digestive discomfort rarely reported). As with any supplement, do not exceed recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
