Boswellin® PS is obtained from the gum exudate of Boswellia serrata trees commonly known as Frankincense.
Boswellin® PS is standardized to contain:
| Total boswellic acids by titration 35.0%- 50.0% w/w |
100% |
| ß-boswellic acids 20.0% to 30.0% w/w |
100% |
| AKBA 10.0% to 12.0% w/w |
100% |
| Salient features |
|---|
| 100% natural |
| No preservatives |
| Established safety |
In addition to the active boswellic acids, Boswellin® PS also contains Polysal (35.0% to 45.0% w/w) which contributes to its immediate anti-inflammatory action.
Polysal
- Polysal has been reported to contain mainly neutral sugars as Polysaccharides
- The polysaccharide is reported to primarily consist of galactose, arabinose and D-glucuronic acid
- 4-o-methyl-glucuronoarabino-galactan has been identified as one of the polysaccharides
- The polysaccharide has a molecular weight of 5.1 – 5.6 X 105 against dextran standards
- The polysaccharide has an Optical Rotation [α]D – 10.50 and contains 64% to 69% neutral sugars
