Boswellia

Category: Botanicals

Boswellia (Boswellia serrata), also known as Indian frankincense or salai guggul, is a tree of the dry regions of India whose bark exudes an aromatic gum-resin. Nustras supplies Boswellia as a gum-resin extract, a creamish to off-white powder with a characteristic odour, standardised to total boswellic acids, for use as a botanical ingredient in the supplement sector. Boswellic acids are pentacyclic triterpene acids and the recognised marker compounds of the resin.

The extract is formulated into botanical supplements in capsule, tablet and softgel form, into powdered blends and premixes, and into topical and cosmetic preparations that use frankincense resin constituents.

The material is a creamish to off-white powder with a characteristic odour, produced from Boswellia serrata gum-resin at a defined extraction ratio. Total boswellic acids are standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; particle size and loss on drying are standardised to specification, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Boswellia serrata extract in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Boswellia serrata extract is an accepted botanical supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
