Boswellic acids have been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic Medicine, and are natural, selective 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme inhibitors. There are six boswellic acids; however, AKBA is the most active acid. 5 LOXIN is patent-pending, providing a higher concentration of AKBA than other Boswellia serrata extracts, which typically contain only 2%-3%.
