The benefits of taking Frankincense internally are plentiful.* Why not take advantage of those benefits with an easy capsule?
Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex combines Frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin in a liquid-based microbead capsule. It contains a standardized 60% concentration of AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), a compound extracted from Boswellia resin that’s known to aid a healthy inflammatory response.*
At doTERRA we like to keep the ingredients simple and the same applies here. The formula for these capsules includes Frankincense essential oil and Frankincense resin.
Boswellia trees have been valued and celebrated for centuries. The ancient Egyptians used it in perfumes and salves for soothing skin. Oil from the resin has long been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese health practices.
The Frankincense essential oil in Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex comes from one of four tree species: Boswellia sacra. Considered the “king of oils,” Frankincense has extraordinary benefits.
Because of the significant level of α-Pinene in Boswellia sacra, Frankincense oil may help maintain healthy skin structure and when used internally, may support a healthy inflammatory response, both according to preclinical research.*
The Boswellia species used in Frankincense essential oil grow best in different soils and regions, so doTERRA Co-impact Sourcing® is helping diversify supply pressure and create future sustainable harvesting solutions.
Frankincense resin was first used by ancient civilizations for their most revered practices. One of the earliest recorded uses of frankincense was in religious rituals by the Babylonians and Assyrians, who burned the resin to invoke contemplation and meditation. During biblical times, frankincense was so valuable that it was one of the gifts brought by the Magi to the newborn Jesus, symbolizing divinity and sacredness. This gift highlighted its historic importance and worth, equating it with gold and other precious materials.
The source of this treasured resin is the Boswellia tree, which grows in some of the harshest environments in the world, like the arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula, northeastern Africa, and India. These hardy trees produce a resinous sap when their bark is cut or scored. The milky-white resin hardens into what’s known as “tears.”
With standardized 60% AKBA from Boswellia resin, Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex supports a healthy inflammatory response in the body and—according to experimental research—may also support healthy cell cycling.*
If you’re wanting the benefits from healthy inflammatory response, cellular support, or joint mobility, Frankincense Capsules may be a great supplementation option for you:*
