Science & Research
Verifiable Science
AKBA (3-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) is a major bioactive triterpenoid found in boswellia extracts. 5-LOXIN® is a patent-pending boswellia extract providing ten times as much AKBA as typical boswellia extracts.1 In studies, 5-LOXIN® has demonstrated the potential to support joint motility and comfort, in part by promoting a healthy immune response.2,3 It may also play a role in maintaining healthy matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, supporting connective tissue structural composition.4 A randomized, double-blind study involving 102 individuals revealed that AKBA supports gastrointestinal health.5 AKBA may provide gastrointestinal support by maintaining healthy lipid signaling in the epithelial lining of the digestive tract.6,7‡
