Boswellia AF - 60 caps

Boswellia-AF from Vitals contains the new, superior AprèsFlex®. This is truly a next-generation boswellia extract, further developed in terms of bioavailability. And with success. AprèsFlex is better absorbed and therefore even more effective. In addition, the speed at which results can be achieved is impressive. Research shows that the first results can be noticeable after five days. What is boswellia? Boswellia refers to the dried (gum) resin of the tropical frankincense tree Boswellia serrata. The resin (viscous liquid) is released from the tree trunk when the bark is naturally damaged or cut by humans. Boswellia is called a 'gum resin' because it contains both water-soluble (gum) and alcohol-soluble (resin) components. Boswellia has been traditionally used for thousands of years as a powerful, natural remedy for joints, airways, and the gastrointestinal tract, among other things. Boswellia (as an extract) has also been popular and promising as a dietary supplement for decades. Boswellic acids are considered the most important active substances, of which acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) has been shown to be the most effective in research. Boswellia extracts are therefore usually standardized to a high AKBA content (boswellia naturally contains only 2-3% AKBA). However, the efficacy of a boswellia extract is not only determined by the content of active substances, but also by the bioavailability of these substances after oral intake. AKBA is relatively poorly absorbed. Improving the bioavailability of AKBA leads to greater effectiveness. Mechanism of action The main mechanism of action of boswellia is helping to maintain normal activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) by the active ingredient AKBA. 5-LOX is responsible, among other things, for the synthesis of certain leukotrienes (locally acting tissue hormones) from arachidonic acid. By helping to maintain normal levels of 5-LOX and FLAP, boswellia contributes to the maintenance of healthy cartilage and supports the normal function of the joints. Figure 1: The action of boswellia. AprèsFlex® Boswellia-AF from Vitals contains AprèsFlex. This is the new name for a high-quality boswellia extract from manufacturer Laila Nutra. Previously, this same extract was known as Aflapin®, as it can also be found in the various scientific publications that support its efficacy. Laila Nutra is an expert in developing well-absorbed and fast-acting boswellia extracts. They were already successful with the popular extract 5-Loxin®. However, the manufacturer believed that there was still room for improvement in terms of the absorption of the active substances in boswellia. By conducting tests with various compositions with an emphasis on even greater bioavailability, Laila Nutra developed the AprèsFlex extract, an improved version of their previous extract 5-Loxin. This 'next-generation' product consists of a boswellia extract (standardized to 20% AKBA) supplemented with a portion of the non-volatile oils from the boswellia resin. The addition of these naturally occurring oils proved to be the golden touch in improving the absorption and bioavailability of AKBA. Despite the lower percentage of AKBA in AprèsFlex compared to 5-Loxin (20% and 30% respectively), comparative research shows that AprèsFlex is up to 50% better absorbed and even more effective.
