Now Foods, Boswellia Extract, 500 mg, 90 Softgels

Now Foods Boswellia Extract – 500 mg boswellia extract per softgel

Now Foods Boswellia Extract is a food supplement with 500 mg of extract made from the resin of Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) in each softgel. The extract is standardised to contain at least 65% organic acids, including boswellic acids – so one softgel contains at least 325 mg of these acids. The extract is mixed with MCT oil, which consists of medium-chain triglycerides and is obtained from coconut or palm kernel oil. The mixture is sealed in a soft gelatin capsule that is easy to swallow. The pack contains 90 softgels, which are taken 1 to 2 times a day with food.

What is boswellia?

Boswellia, or frankincense, is a genus of trees whose bark exudes a fragrant resin. Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) grows mainly in the dry forests of India. The gum resin collected from cuts in the bark has been used for centuries as incense and as a fragrance. The food supplement uses an extract made from the resin with a defined minimum content of organic acids, including boswellic acids. This means that every softgel contains the same amount of extract and its composition is consistent from batch to batch. As it is a natural raw material, the colour of the softgel contents may still vary slightly.

How to use?

Take 1 softgel 1 to 2 times a day as needed with food. Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water or another drink. The maximum daily amount is therefore 2 softgels, or 1,000 mg of boswellia extract. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product may cause minor, transient gastrointestinal discomfort. After opening, close the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dry place.
