About
Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) from Oman with AKBA and incensole acetate for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
How it works (mechanism of action)
Inhibits key inflammatory enzymes (COX-1/2, 5-LOX) or transcription factors (NF-kB, AP-1) reducing prostaglandin, leukotriene, and cytokine production. Some activate PPAR-gamma nuclear receptor mediating anti-inflammatory gene transcription.
