Dietary supplement
for the supply of secondary plant substances
Frankincense resin has been used as incense and food in traditional Indian Ayurveda for thousands of years. Frankincense also plays an important role in Christian tradition: along with myrrh and gold, frankincense was one of the gifts given by the Three Wise Men from the East to the newborn Baby Jesus. Frankincense is still burned during mass in the Catholic Church.
Arabian and African frankincense resin is obtained from the frankincense plant Boswellia carterii. The tree, up to 5 m tall, grows in the arid regions of Somalia, Oman and Yemen. The trunk and twigs secrete a
yellowish-brown resin that flows into a viscous mass, clumps together and hardens. The tree resin tastes a little bitter and has a pleasantly spicy coniferous scent. It is used as an additive in cosmetics, beverages, baked goods and meat dishes, among other things.
Frankincense is a valuable source of secondary plant substances, including bitter substances and triterpenes such as boswellic acids, which can pleasantly enrich the human diet.
Each vegan Boswellia carterii extract capsule contains 400 mg of Boswellia carterii extract with at least 68% boswellic acids. It is a high quality standardized dry frankincense extract.
