• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
• Respiratory Disorders (Asthma and Bronchitis)
• Cancer Therapy
• Neuroprotection
• Skin Conditions
• Oral Health

Benefits

• Arthritis (Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis): They reduce synovial hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, cartilage breakdown by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), reducing inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and TNF-α.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Used to treat chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease. AKBA has been shown to reduce leukocyte infiltration tissue injury in the gut.
• Respiratory Disorders (Asthma and Bronchitis): Boswellia extracts inhibit the synthesis of leukotrienes, which are key mediators in bronchoconstriction & bronchial inflammation, making them useful for treating bronchial asthma and bronchitis.
• Cancer Therapy: Boswellic acids (especially AKBA) exhibit potent anti-tumor activity by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibiting cell proliferation in various cancer types, including breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and liver cancers.
• Neuroprotection: Emerging evidence indicates that BAs, particularly AKBA, protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by reducing neuroinflammation, decreasing oxidative stress, and improving motor function.
• Skin Conditions: Topically applied Boswellia extract is effective in treating psoriasis and eczema, reducing erythema and scaling.
• Oral Health: AKBA has shown strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against oral cavity pathogens (Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus), indicating potential in toothpaste or mouthwash to prevent cavities and gingivitis.
