Have you ever heard of the Indian frankincense tree? Boswellia serrata oleo-gum resin dry extract is obtained from the resin of this tree, a plant substance with a long history. Himalaya processes this extract into a vegan tablet. Two tablets provide 250 mg of this extract. The package contains 60 tablets, sufficient for 30 doses.
The characteristic substances in Boswellia serrata oleo-gum resin dry extract are called boswellic acids. The best-known of these is AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid). Boswellia serrata resin helps keep joints cool and comfortable.* In Indian herbal medicine, where the plant is called Shallaki, the resin has traditionally been used for the musculoskeletal system. It is not a stimulant and is intended for daily use alongside a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Boswellia serrata grows in the dry, hilly regions of India. The tree naturally secretes a gum-like resin. This resin, also known as oleo-gum resin, is collected by hand and then dried. It is then extracted and concentrated into a dry extract. Himalaya, a brand with roots in Indian herbal medicine, uses this extract under the traditional name Shallaki. By the way, the product is completely vegan. The tablets contain only excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide to form the tablet.
Each tablet contains 125 mg of Boswellia serrata oleo-gum resin dry extract. The recommended dosage is two tablets per day, which equals 250 mg. What many people do not know: the amount of extract does not tell the whole story. How the extract is standardized, i.e., how much boswellic acid is actually in it, makes a difference when comparing products. This specification is not on the label of this product. That is something to keep in mind when comparing boswellia products.
Boswellia is a different type of ingredient than, for example, glucosamine or collagen. Boswellia is a plant extract from tree resin. Some formulas combine boswellia with curcumin or collagen, so that you use multiple ingredients at the same time. This Himalaya product is deliberately a mono-formula: one ingredient, without distracting additions. This is useful if you want to know exactly what you are taking, or if you want to combine it yourself with other supplements.
Himalaya Boswellia (Shallaki) is a clear, straightforward product. One ingredient from the Indian frankincense tree, vegan and in a convenient tablet form. Well suited for those looking for a simple boswellia-based supplement, without any fuss.

Boswellia serrata is an extract from the resin of the Indian frankincense tree. The tree naturally secretes a gummy resin, which is collected by hand and dried. From this resin, boswellic acids, the characteristic compounds in the extract, are extracted. The best known of these is AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid). In Indian herbal medicine, this plant is also known as Shallaki.
That term accurately describes how the extract is made. 'Oleo-gum resin' refers to the oily, gummy resin that the frankincense tree secretes. This resin is collected, dried, and then extracted into a concentrated powder: the dry extract. So it's essentially a description of the production process, from tree to powder.
There is no difference. Shallaki is the traditional name for Boswellia serrata in Indian herbal medicine. Himalaya uses both names on its packaging. They refer to the same plant and the same extract.
That's a valid question. Many boswellia products state what percentage of boswellic acids or AKBA the extract contains. This Himalaya product does not have that specification on its label. This makes it difficult to directly compare its strength with other products. It is therefore a conscious choice by the manufacturer, but if extract strength is important to you, that is something to consider.
In Indian herbal medicine, boswellia (Shallaki) is known as a herb for the musculoskeletal system. Boswellia serrata resin helps keep the joints cool and comfortable.*

They are different types of ingredients. Boswellia (Shallaki) is a plant extract from the resin of the Indian frankincense tree. Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is usually obtained from shellfish or through fermentation. Some people use both together.
