I have rheumatoid arthritis in the small finger of my right hand which has now become painful. After reading extensively on natural anti-inflamatories I decided to try Superior Labs Boswellia Extract. This product offers the recommended amount of 1000mg per day and has the addition benefit of BioPerine, an extract from black pepper fruit which allows the body to absorb and utilize the boswellia much more efficiently. Their 240 count bottle equals a 2 month supply at a very reasonable price. I have been using this product for two weeks, have cleaned up my diet eating more anti inflammatory foods (select fruits and vegetables) and have noticed a 90% reduction in the chronic pain in my finger. RA can spread to the rest of the fingers as well as other part of the body and I am on a mission to prevent that. I will continue using this Superior Labs product and write another review in 3 months.

Nearing the end of my first bottle of this. It definitely makes my joints feel a little more disciplined, aka, sore, after you get through half the bottle. Only minorly sore though. They feel more like cleaning pains and regenerating pains than like hurting pains. I definitely felt like my joints became better afterwards. Taking this with Yucca tincture, Ionized Alkaline Water of -800 and pH 11, and Witch Hazel Tincture, my body's joints, bones, and tendons, and veins, are getting rejuvenated and remineralized. Jesus Christ was given frankincense for his birthday. So I looked it up, apparently Boswellia is just tree sap of the boswellia tree. Kind of makes one think if they should make a Maple tree extract. Yes there's maple Syrup, but that's after the sap has been cooked. Wonder what Maple resin and maple sap capsules could do. Or even Pine Sap. Combined with Ionized Alkaline Water, pine sap and other plants might can be made non-toxic.

I developed creaky, achy knees and hips 7 years ago when I started intense aerobic and weight training exercises 5 days a week. During a check-up my doctor found that my Vitamin D level was severely low and I also had some arthritis. I was given prescription Vitamin D2 50,000 units for 6 months and told to take OTC pain killers for the pain. Because my grandmother had debilitating arthritis and trouble walking, I figured I'd end up the same. I developed severe depression and gave up exercise and dancing....I know...bad move.

Fast forward 7 years and 50 lbs later, my knees had gotten so bad that OTC painkillers like Aleve, Tylenol, and Advil weren't working anymore. I could not get out of bed, get up from a chair, get out of my car or walk across the room.... much less climb stairs. I got a cane to help me move around and I felt like I was a 90 year old. I was using heating pads, muscle creams, pain pills, and on my best days the pain was still 5 on a scale of 1-10. Most days I was at an 8, where the pain would stop me in the middle of a step. On the days that it hit 10 I was chair bound and couldn't even move if I tried. I'd end up sleeping on the sofa because I couldn't even climb the stairs to go to bed.

I was so tired of being sick and tired, I started researching my options. I knew that losing weight would make a tremendous difference but I had to relieve the pain in order to exercise again. I went to forums and heard about Vitamin D deficiency and how it leads to joint and bone deterioration as well as depression, I heard about Krill Oil, Fish Oil and their anti-inflammatory benefits, I heard about Serrapeptase and its ability to dissolve non-living tissue in the body. I already knew about Glucosamine Sulfate being better than Glucosamin HCL as well as the benefits of Collagen, Boron, and Hyuralonic Acid supplements but Boswellia extract was new to me. I was living with pain, inflammation, and swelling joints so I was eager to learn about Boswellia.

After reading up on the medical research and visiting medical and health forums to read people's experience with it, I decided that Boswellia was worth a try. I was taking the following supplements and added Boswellia after the 4th week. This is my routine:

On empty stomach (take pills then wait 30 min to eat)
1 capsule Serrapeptase 40,000 SPU (3 times a day)
1 capsule Type II Collagen, Boron, Hyaluronic Acid supplement
1 capsule Boswellia extract (2 times a day) This was started 4 weeks into my routine.

With food:
1 capsule of Glucosamine Sulfate 750 mg (2 times a day)
12,0000 IU Vitamin D3 soft gel
1 Krill Oil/Hyaluronic Acid soft gel
400 mg Magnesium soft gel (for muscle spasms and aches)
1 tbsp Liquid Vitamin B Complex (for energy)

After the first week, the pain was slightly reduced and I was able to stop using the cane to stand up or climb stairs. But I still had severe pain on most days and my knees would lock up in horrible pain during long car rides or upon waking up in the morning.

After the second week, the pain was getting better, I would still lock up after long car rides or after waking up but it took less time to work my joints and unlock my knees. I was climbing the stairs one step at a time. Coming back down the stairs took even longer but I was able to do it without help from anyone.

After the third week, my knees stopped locking up but I was still feeling the pain in my joints. I was able to go up and down the steps one at a time but I was able to move faster. The pain in my knees was no longer excruciating. I was able to help pack and load an entire condo for moving, but I had to take a single Aleve pill to combat the pain.

I started taking Boswellia between week 3 and 4 and noticed less joint swelling and burning sensations.

After the fourth week I started to have pain free days. I could keep pace with other people when walking but not when climbing steps. However, I was able to climb steps normally at a slower pace. The swelling and burning I felt in my knees after long walks started to diminish at this point.

It is now just over two months and I am 90% pain free. I am no longer in pain when I wake up. I can stand up without pain, walk and climb stairs without pain. I get mild aches in my knees during car trips, which resolve after a a couple of minutes of stretching. If I miss a couple of days worth of supplements I feel achy. If I miss the Boswellia, my knees get swollen and hot after a brisk walk. I make it a point to never skip any days. These supplements work better than any pain med I have tried. They don't cover the problem, they help in the healing process. It's been 1 1/2 months since I took any pain meds at all. I can only imagine how much better I will feel in another month or two.

I feel good enough to start gentle exercise. I have a significant amount of weight I need to lose to relieve the burden on my joints. Based on what others have experienced with their weight loss, I am confident I will reach 100% pain relief once I shed the pounds. If it wasn't for the supplements, exercise wouldn't even be an option. I am so grateful for the pain relief that I tell anyone who will listen. It works. You have to stick to it every single day and have patience. It doesn't happen overnight, but it will happen. You will get better.

I was diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis & have been doing a lot of research as the pain in one finger flares up from time to time, making me scream out in pain. Boswellia is highly recommended & after trying a different brand, I switched to this one as it appears "cleaner". I combine it with Cosamin ASU, have eliminated sugar from my diet, & am working on eliminating white flour (hard to do tho for this carb lover). My holistic nutritionist highly recommends Dr. Mercola, who has a web site containing tons of healthy information. Here is what he has to say about using boswellia as an anti-inflammatory for arthritis and heart health:

"Boswellia: Also known as boswellin or "Indian frankincense,"this herb contains specific active anti-inflammatory ingredients,referred to as boswellic acids that animal studies have shown significantly reduce inflammation. This is one of my personal favorites as I have seen it work well with many of my rheumatoid arthritis patients."

My finger inflammation flare-ups improve from time to time, but I still have occasional pain. I plan on increasing my boswellia & glucosamine to 2 tabs/day, up from 1.

I don't think you can beat the customer service at Superior Labs or the product, so I will continue to buy from them.

I decided to get the Superior Labs Boswellia Extract based on the potency of this particular brand and the amount of information provided on the bottle which shows that this company is serious about the products they offer.
I'm currently suffering from some acute lung issues, which is a result of many years of exposure to fumes of industrial cleaning solutions and constant exposure to smoke from burning rapeseed (canola) oil.
Some of my research about how to deal with this affliction lead me to Boswellia extract as well as several other supplements.
Because my situation was going downhill at such a alarming rate I've started taking several different products including the Boswellia extract at the same time since I needed bring this down slide to a halt.
I have managed to stabilize my situation to a certain degree. It's much too early to say that I'm reversing it, but at least it's not getting worse since I started taking the supplements including this Superior Labs Boswellia.
One thing that is interesting however that I will mention is that at the same time that my lungs have been giving me so much trouble, I've also made it my goal to stay in good shape an do basic exercise such as sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, as well as squats and leg lunges.
Before I started taking the Boswellia extract, whenever I would do squats, with each upward and downward motion I completed I would hear and feel a kind of grinding feeling coming from my knees. It didn't hurt, but it had me worried. In addition to the grinding noise there was also a loud pop, kinda like when you would pop a knuckle and it felt like popping a knuckle as well, but of course this was in my knees.
Well, after the 3rd day of taking the Boswellia extract I noticed that both the grinding sound as well as the popping disappeared.
The other supplements that I'm taking don't have any effect on joints so I can eliminate those other supplements as being responsible for the noticeable improvement in knee function.
What that means is that this Boswellia really works!
I'm going to continue taking this Boswellia as well as the other supplements I acquired to deal with my lung issues and with a little luck and prayers, I will be able to recover fully.
I've rated this product as 4 starts for the time being, but will increase it to 5 stars if I see my lungs start to improve as well since that was my reason for purchasing it. I think it will take several months at a therapeutic dosage to start to see significant improvement with my lung issue,
Always nice finding a product that actually works, specially when there is so much junk on the market!
*Edit* 6/22/2017
I did end up fully recovering from my acute lung issues while taking this Boswellia extract so I bumped my rating up to 5 stars. Even though I was taking other supplements along with the Boswellia I do believe the Boswellia was an important factor in my full recovery.
I will reorder this product when ever I have respiratory issues in the future, even if not as severe as the one I just went through!
