Doctor's Best Boswellia with UCII 60 Veggie Caps
Doctor's Best Boswellia with UCII® 60 Veggie Caps combines two clinically studied anti-inflammatory and joint support ingredients: Boswellia serrata extract (standardised to AKBA) and UC-II® undenatured type 2 collagen. Boswellia AKBA is the most potent anti-inflammatory constituent of the Boswellia resin, shown to inhibit 5-LOX — the enzyme that produces pro-inflammatory leukotrienes. UC-II® undenatured collagen works through oral tolerisation to train the immune system to reduce its inflammatory response to joint cartilage.*
- Boswellia serrata standardised to AKBA — potent 5-LOX inhibitor*
- UC-II® undenatured type 2 collagen — oral tolerisation for joint comfort*
- Supports joint flexibility, mobility, and comfort*
- Supports healthy inflammatory response in joints*
- Non-GMO | Gluten Free | 60 veggie capsules
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AKBA and why is it important in Boswellia supplements?
AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid) is the most biologically active constituent of Boswellia serrata resin. It is a potent, selective inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), the enzyme responsible for producing inflammatory leukotrienes. Not all Boswellia extracts are standardised to AKBA — many standard extracts contain mainly the less active boswellic acids. Doctor's Best uses a Boswellia extract standardised for AKBA to ensure maximum anti-inflammatory potency.*
What is UC-II undenatured collagen and how does it work?
UC-II® is a patented form of undenatured (native) type 2 collagen derived from chicken sternum cartilage. Unlike hydrolysed collagen peptides, UC-II works through a mechanism called oral tolerisation — it presents intact collagen to immune cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), training the immune system to reduce its inflammatory response to the body's own joint cartilage. Clinical studies show 40mg of UC-II is more effective than 1,500mg glucosamine + 1,200mg chondroitin for joint comfort.*
How long does it take for Boswellia and UC-II to work?
Boswellia can provide noticeable relief from joint discomfort within 1–2 weeks of regular use, while UC-II typically requires 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use for the oral tolerisation process to fully establish. For best results, take for at least 8 weeks before evaluating the full effect.*
Is this product suitable for people who cannot take NSAIDs?
Boswellia and UC-II are non-steroidal and work through different mechanisms from NSAIDs. Many people who cannot tolerate NSAIDs use Boswellia as a natural alternative for managing joint discomfort. However, always consult your healthcare professional before making changes to any medication or supplement regimen.
