My LLMD has me on a fancy Boswellia extract with a "berry blend" - all of which seem to be for inflammation (blueberries etc.). Just wondering if anyone else is on Boswellia for pain or inflammation? It's not available easily and I can get a basic Boswellia anywhere, but I don't know if I'm feeling the fancy expensive blend. I also don't know how much it's helping and at this point, if I can't tell, I might just go off it and see if anything changes.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

My LLND sold me a combo - Boswellia and Curcumin - I didn't notice anything - from it - other than it was expensive.

I took it for a few months and then stopped

I used standard boswellin, ginger and turmeric to deal with my pain/inflammation for a while. The boswellin definitely added to the combination, but alone I don't know that it would have been of enough help.

I take boswellia by NOW foods, available on Amazon. I started it around the same time as CuraPro, a turmeric supplement recommended by my LLMD. I can't say for sure which supplement did it, but my very high C-Reactive protein decreased by about 1/3 in two months. It's fairly inexpensive and worth a try, in my opinion.
