A new double-blind study of 98 people with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis found that boswellia extract (30% 3-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid ) at a dose of 300-600mg a day significantly improves scores of pain, stiffness and physical function on the WOMAC Arthritis Index, walking distance and quality of life.
But that’s not all it does. Remarkably, boswellia even improved joint space in the knee in 44.1% of the 600mg group, suggesting that boswellia can actually help reverse osteoarthritis.
