Boswellia, 5-LOXIN®, bij osteoartrose en reumapijn
5–LOXIN is a phytocompound which improves joint pain, comfort and mobility. It also is claimed to help reducing the action of harmful enzymes that break down protective joint tissues. While a new ingredient, it is steeped in the historic roots of the Boswellia serrata plant, used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries. Thus, 5-LOXIN® is seen as a modern approach to tradition and history of Indian herbal therapy, being clinically proven for its effectiveness.In a recent human study, both 100mg and 250mg of 5-LOXIN daily provided improvement in joint comfort and mobility within 7 days
