About Boswellic acid

 

"Boswellia serrata is a traditional ayurvedic medicine.

 

BulkActive's extract of Boswellia serrata is standarized at 65% for the active triterpenoids, named boswellic acids.

 

Boswellia Serrate (also known as Boswelic acid) is extracted from the serrata tree. It is an organic skin care ingredient that is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. For DIY skin care, Boswellia is a good choice for that anti-inflammatory cream; it may also be added to acne medications, and other recipes that require a non-steroidal anti inflammatory. references and abstracts
