Total boswellic acids by titration 70.0%- 85.0% w/w
ß-boswellic acids 20.0%- 30.0% w/w
AKBA 2.0% w/w (MIN)

Salient features

  • 100% natural
  • No preservatives
  • Established safety

Efficacy of Boswellin® HBD

Pre-clinical studies
Anti-inflammatory/Anti-arthritic effects
Active components of Boswellin® HBD exert a synergistic effect

The actives, BBA and AKBBA, act synergistically to exert anti‐inflammatory activity efficaciously in reducing joint pain and improving the physical functional ability in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of knee33.

Anticancer effects
In hepatic cancer cells (Hep G2) treated with KBA and AKBA37
  • Both KBA and AKBA induced apoptosis
  • Increased activity of caspase-8 (the initiator of apoptosis) as well as caspase-3 (the executor of apoptosis)
  • Released DNA-histone complex in to the cell cytoplasm
  • Increased percentage of cells in the sub-Gl phase by checking in G1 phase
