This Swanson supplement combines two herbal extracts with a long tradition: Boswellia serrata (Indian frankincense) and turmeric root. Each capsule contains 300mg of both ingredients. The formula is gluten-free and non-GMO. For those looking for an accessible combination of boswellia and turmeric in capsule form, without the fuss.
Boswellia serrata (Indian frankincense) is obtained from the trunk of the Indian frankincense tree. By making incisions in the bark, a sticky resin flows out, which then dries and is ground into powder. The characteristic plant substances in this resin are called boswellic acids. The best known of these is AKBA. Boswellia serrata Indian frankincense helps keep your joints supple and comfortable.* Boswellia also supports the health of the gastrointestinal tract.*
You probably know turmeric as a yellow spice. But the root of Curcuma longa also contains curcuminoids, a completely different type of plant substance than the boswellic acids from the resin. Turmeric contributes to digestion and helps support fat digestion.* In addition, turmeric helps maintain liver health.* This product contains regular root, not a standardized extract. That is good to know, because the amount of curcuminoids in root powder is naturally lower than in a concentrated extract.
The difference lies in the type of plant substance: boswellia provides boswellic acids, turmeric provides curcuminoids. Two different profiles, and that is exactly the reason why both plants are often used together in herbal tradition instead of as a substitute for each other. Boswellia also supports mental function and helps refine mental sharpness.* Turmeric, in turn, has important antioxidant properties and helps keep the immune system effective.*
Swanson calls this product "Full Spectrum". That means they have used the whole Indian frankincense resin and the whole root, not an isolated extract of one specific substance. The advantage of this is that you get the full profile of the plant. However, there is a downside. Without standardization, you do not know exactly how many boswellic acids or curcuminoids are in each capsule. Boswellia serrata Indian frankincense in this form is therefore purer in the sense of being unprocessed, but less predictable than a standardized extract. Per capsule you get 300mg boswellia and 300mg turmeric. That is a modest dosage compared to products that work with highly concentrated extracts.
*Health claim awaiting European approval.
Boswellia resin provides boswellic acids, while turmeric root provides curcuminoids. These are combined in this capsule, so you get two different plant profiles in a single dose.
Each capsule provides 300 mg boswellia serrata gum resin and 300 mg turmeric rhizome. A modest, evenly distributed dosage of both herbs.
Swanson uses the whole boswellia gum resin and the complete turmeric rhizome. This means you get the full profile of both plants, including the natural co-factors often missing in a concentrated extract.
This product is gluten-free and free from genetically modified ingredients. The formula contains no artificial colours or flavours.

Boswellia serrata is a resin extracted from the trunk of the Indian frankincense tree. Incisions in the bark allow a sticky gum resin to flow out, which then dries and is ground into a powder. The distinctive plant compounds in this resin are called boswellic acids, the best-known of which is AKBA. This resin has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries.
Boswellia and turmeric provide two different types of plant compounds: boswellia provides boswellic acids, turmeric provides curcuminoids. Because these profiles do not overlap but complement each other, both plants are often used alongside each other in herbal tradition and the combination is a logical choice.
Full spectrum (full spectrum) means that Swanson has used the entire gomphrena and the entire rootstock, not an isolated extract of one specific substance. This gives you the complete profile of the plant. The difference with a standardized extract is that the exact amount of plant substances per capsule is less predictable, but you do get the wide range of natural compounds from the plant.
This product contains 300 mg of boswellia gum resin and 300 mg of turmeric root per capsule. This makes it an introductory formula, suitable for those who want to try these two herbs without taking a high dose right away.
Boswellic acids are the characteristic plant compounds in the gum resin of Boswellia serrata. The best-known is AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid). Because this full-spectrum product contains the entire gum resin and is not a standardized extract, the exact amount of boswellic acids per capsule is not fixed.
With gum resin, you use the complete, unprocessed resin from the boswellia tree. This means you get all the natural compounds, but the exact amount of boswellic acids per capsule can vary. A standardized extract is concentrated to a fixed percentage, for example 65% boswellic acids. This means you know more precisely what you get per capsule. The choice depends on your preference: the complete plant profile or a fixed content of boswellic acids.
