SwansonDouble Strength Boswellia-Herbal Supplement Promoting Joint Support-Ayurvedic Herb for Joint Flexibility & Mobility Support-Made w/Boswellia Serrata Resin-(60 Capsules, 800mg Each) (4 Pack)

I have reactive arthritis as well as acute migraines. I use to always take tylenol or ibuprofen to reduce the pain I was in (some days I just stayed in bed unable to get up). Take note that i'm only 20 years old and having these issues and taking medication is not something a 20 year old should be dealing with. If anyone is in the same boat more information is that I exercise a lot (use to before arthritis) and have a lean build, so whatever is causing my symptoms is not because im overweight or have unhealthy habits.My doctor then recommended me to take Boswellia, specifically from the Swanson brand. Boy can I tell you that it works wonders. For me it took a few weeks to take effect but once it does, I noticed my inflammation going down dramatically and pain substantially reduced. I dont know if this is true, but I think my doctor told me that this also could help keep fevers down and in my case it definitely does. For reactive arthritis I usually get a week of fever flares where im running 101.5 degrees and up and I would usually take boswellia to keep it down. In addition, the best thing about this is it's a supplement and not a prescribed medication so no bad side effects at all. The only down side I could say about the pills is that it's fairly large so hard to swallow and sometimes it will cause me to burp.I'm personally taking 3 pills a day everyday recommended to me by my doctor as a reference. If you're interested in taking it definitely consult your doctor first.

I have spinal stenosis and am in pain management, i.e., am taking opiates :(. I'm TRYING to get off of them, lining up my own treatment plan and can honestly say this works as well as an 800mg Ibuprofen but without the stomach issues. Well worth a try for the cost. It will continue to be integral in my changeover to non-narcotics!

I love this product! I have been using it for almost three years for pain management of my arthritic knees along with SAM-e and it works beautifully. It has been vetted by Consumerslab for being exactly what it says it is in addition its purity.I just got my refills today and applaud Swanson for cutting back on their plastic usage by not shrink wrapping each bottle since they are made in house. The plastic savings is fantastic. Bravo!I would also like to ask Swanson why they are not using recyclable bottles which is why I only give them 4 stars for my review. Unfortunately, a #1 bottle is not recyclable and is a throwaway here in my very pro-recycling city.I would be willing to pay a little extra in order to avoid throwing the bottles in the trash with a #2, #4, #5 bottle.

this product has given my hands back to me. i suffer from stiff finger joints, to the point of not being able to make a fist and experiencing trigger lock in several fingers.since taking boswellia, i can function at 90 percent and the episodes of finger lock are gone.

I have been using Boswellia for over a year now. I have arthritis in my knees, and it is difficult walking. After I used this for around six months and my knee pain seemed better, I stopped using it for a month and a half. The pain and swelling returned to levels they were before I used it. So I bought more, and I will keep taking it.The pain doesn't completely go away, but after about three weeks of taking Boswellia, both the pain and swelling are reduced enough that I can walk and do more things as long as I don't overdo it. So this is a very nice thing to have! I can't say how effective it is for everyone, but I know in my case, it is definitely worth taking.

Swanson is an excellent company and Boswellia (double strength) is a great product at a wonderful price. I take it to manage pain for osteoarthritis and it works for me. Highly recommend Swanson.

Can’t live without my Boswellia! I take it every night and morning to help with the achey chronic back pain. It takes the edge off and also helps with digestion. Love it!

Okay so even though I take a ton of suppliments I usually am pretty skeptical of them doing anything other than keeping me well. This is an exception, this is a miracle product. I suffer from Arthrits and lipedema so pain is a constant thing. I take arthritis meds and also used to take tons of pain pills. Since taking these I can go all day with no additional Pain pills besides my arthritis meds. No ibuprofen etc needed.

Very good value

I have osteo-arthritis in my right hip - it can be REALLY debillitating, so much so, that at night, walking 4m to the bathroom can be agonising and REALLY SLOW (despite being aided by two sticks)! I started doing an exercise recommended by an osteopath, and started to take these tablets. I also take (eat?) root ginger. Both Boswellia and ginger are said to reduce arthritis-related inflammation, and they do appear to work well for me - the combination has been very effective, perhaps life-changing. I can now walk much further than before (before trying there treatments, I was doing well if I could manage 1500 steps/day; now I can do 10000 or so per day).I ride a bike as a low impact exercise, and I also use a rebounder (also low impact) - these let me exercise without unduly stressing the joint.I have tried other anti-inflammatory herbs and spices such as turmeric, cloves, garlic, along with other anti-inflammatory / joint protection stuff like vitamin C, MSM, Glucosamine, none of which has been any use whatsoever. Recently, I have started to use "Equicure Basics Pure Boswellia Serrata - Equine Supplement (1KG)" - it is intended for horses, not people, but the company states that all their ingredients are safe for human consumption and says of this product : "Ingredients: 100% Pure Boswellia Serrata". The Swanson tablets work out at around £140 for 1kg of Boswellia (20 packs @ 48gm of Boswellia / pack; the Equine version costs £30/kg, and it seems to work just as well. I mix around 2.5gm of powder with full-fat milk and orange juice, then add MSM and vit-C (ever the optimist!!!). I then drink the mixture during the day; I have some before a bike ride, have some more every hour or so during the ride, and have some immediately when I get home.For me, the secret is to use this Boswellia-based mixture proactively to stop trouble before it starts - this works well, and is much better than trying to fix the problem after the pain has started - that is too late. Overall, I now consider Boswellia to be essential in keeping me mobile.
