Boswellia serrata, commonly known as Indian frankincense, is increasingly recognized for its beneficial effects on overall health in dogs, particularly in managing joint health and inflammation. A key component of Boswellia serrata is its resin extract, which contains various boswellic acids known for their anti-inflammatory properties. These acids work by inhibiting the synthesis of leukotrienes, chemicals that can cause inflammation in the body, thus helping to alleviate joint pain and improve mobility in dogs.
A study conducted in 2004 demonstrated the effectiveness of Boswellia serrata in dogs with osteoarthritis. The dogs were given Boswellia resin extract at a dose of 40 mg/kg once daily for six weeks. The results showed significant improvements in several parameters, including reduced intermittent lameness, alleviation of local pain, and improved gait. About 71% of the dogs in the study exhibited reduced symptoms, indicating a marked improvement in their condition. Herbal Therapies for Osteoarthritis. What is Boswellia Serrata?
