Description
Evidence Tier · Mixed Results
Boswellia serrata standardized to 65% boswellic acids with vegetable glucosamine, MSM, turmeric, white willow bark and hyaluronic acid.
What It Does
Supports joint comfort and flexibility.*
How It Works
Boswellic acids inhibit 5-lipoxygenase. MSM supplies sulfur for connective tissue. Glucosamine is a building block of cartilage.
Why This Form
Boswellia standardized to boswellic acids, and plant-based glucosamine with no shellfish.
Clinical Evidence
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial tested MSM over 12 weeks and measured joint discomfort and function.± The GAIT trial at the University of Utah tested glucosamine over 24 weeks.²
What The Evidence Does Not Show
GAIT found no overall benefit for glucosamine over placebo. Doses here are lower than in most single-ingredient trials. White willow bark contains salicin and may interact with anticoagulants.
