Boswellia Serrata P.E. is an extract from the Boswellia serrata tree, which contains chemicals that might decrease swelling and increase the body’s immune response. It has been used for therapeutic purposes, including treating chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes, asthma, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s.
Here are some benefits of Boswellia Serrata P.E.:
- Reduces pain and improves movement in people with osteoarthritis.
- Exhibits efficacy against various chronic diseases.
- Has anti-inflammatory effects.
There are several case studies regarding the benefits of Boswellia Serrata P.E. For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial found that oral administration of Boswellin, a formulation containing Boswellia serrata extract, improved symptoms of osteoarthritis compared to placebo. Another study reported that boswellic acids in Boswellia serrata extract may have a potential role in cancer prevention and treatment.
The recommended dosage of Boswellia serrata extract is up to 1000 mg daily for up to 6 months. If using boswellia serrata resin itself, doses can increase up to 1,800 mg taken thrice a day (5,400 mg daily), but are usually in the range of 800-1,200 mg.
Boswellia serrata extract usually doesn’t cause major side effects and has been used safely in doses up to 1000 mg daily for up to 6 months. However, it is important to be cautious with its use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also important to note that Boswellia serrata might change how quickly the liver breaks down certain medications, which could change their effects and side effects.
