Boswellia, sometimes called Indian frankincense, is a popular choice for joint comfort. If you want to buy boswellia in the UK, the figure that decides whether it is worth your money is the boswellic acid content.
Boswellic acids do the work
Boswellic acids are the active compounds in boswellia extract. Cheap products often use low-strength resin with a small boswellic acid percentage, so a big capsule can still be a weak dose. Look for the standardised percentage and the actual mg of boswellic acids.
What to look for when you buy boswellia UK
- A high standardised boswellic acid percentage, and the mg per capsule.
- A concentrated extract, not raw powder.
- UK-made and tested, with no padding.
- A dose you can take consistently, since joint support builds over weeks.
