Enhanced support for immune, joint, gastrointestinal and cell health*
5-LOXIN® is a patent-pending Boswellia extract providing ten times as much AKBA as typical Boswellia extracts. In studies, 5-LOXIN has demonstrated the potential to support joint mobility and comfort, in part by promoting a healthy immune response. It may also play a role in maintaining healthy matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, supporting connective tissue structural composition.
Additionally, a randomized double-blind study involving 102 individuals revealed that AKBA supports gastrointestinal health. Further studies have indicated that AKBA may provide gastrointestinal support by maintaining healthy immune activity in the epithelial lining of the digestive tract. Moreover, studies suggest AKBA supports healthy cell signaling and cell cycle function for high capacity cellular support.*

⚠ Key cautions
Cautions: rare GI side effects (diarrhea, acid reflux, nausea); may be contraindicated in those with pre-existing gastritis or GERD. Prescription interactions: boswellia inhibits 5-lipoxygenase and may interact with leukotriene-inhibitor medications; theoretical additive GI/bleeding risk with NSAIDs and anticoagulants given its anti-inflammatory mechanism. Priority: Moderate.
