The evidence in words
How much to take
100–250 mg/day of a high-AKBA standardized extract (product-dependent).
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Boswellia; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Boswellic acids inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and leukotriene synthesis, a distinct anti-inflammatory pathway from NSAIDs.
Bottom line
One of the more convincing joint botanicals for osteoarthritis pain. Use a standardized high-AKBA extract and give it a couple of weeks.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
