Just here looking for possible reason severe bladder bleeding caused by the end of my suprapublc catheter when I left a soothing vibrator on too long won’t stop.

Good clotting, but bleeding is profuse after 24 hours with flushing that barely keeps up with clotting.

I had this happen once before and the ER doc was correct about the end of bleeding around 24 hours. I was not taking Boswellia Serrata at that time.

Thanks to Biljana for this inclusive article!:-)

Good

Hi. Thank you for the information about boswellia.
May I know, is boswellia the same as what we call arabic gum, or is it different?

In reply to Ron.

Hi Ron, we don’t currently have information on all the synergies with Boswellia, but you may want to look through this post for additional anti-inflammatory supplements (Nf-kB inhibitors): https://selfhacked.com/blog/nuclear-factor-kappa-b/

Please comment on the very minimal bioavailability of Boswellia in the products being sold, since we can’t afford to have the acids injected into us day after day.

It should state on previous statement Mice data has NO correlation to Human data or Primate Data.
Has this product been tested on Primates?

In reply to Ron Gilbert.

Hi Ron,
1) The studies did not use products, but acids isolated from Boswelllia Serrata (acetyl-beta-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKbetaBA)).
2) We can’t give you medical advice and you should consult your doctor. But, Joe has some links and info under this heading: https://selfhacked.com/blog/boswellia/#Buying_Recommended_Dosage

Thanks so much Helen for that info, but I have more questions for you.
1) Which Boswellia Serrata product was used in these studies, bcuz if I use just ANY boswellia serrata product I find on the internet, it may not have a pure chemistry or the stated BS content in it?

2) And what dosage of BS should I take daily? Some recommend one 300mg tablet a day, but some recommend 1000 mg per day, Helen, help me here, which Boswellia Serrata product should I buy and what daily dosage, 300mg or 1000mg?

What are your thoughts on ABKA on androgen receptors? Studies show down regulation of AR in prostatic cancer cells.. does this extend to all androgen receptors? is it an anti antrogen?

My 13yr.old son has had year round allergies & asthma since he was a baby. Year round allergy pills, Singulair used Spring/fall seasons + daily nebulizer use in the ragweed season, he’s never w/out an inhaler. I bought NOW- BOSWELLIA 500 mg caps 5 days ago, figured on weeks of use before any little improvement would be noticed. OMG- RESULTS IN 1 DOSE, NO JOKE!!!
Skipped Singulair at bedtime-gave 1 Boswellia + 1000mg vit.C right after breakfast/dinner, then (3hrs later) vitamins + allergy pill just before bed. He woke up & his lungs have been TOTALLY CLEAR every since & allergies are negligable! I give Boswellia separately (right after meal)to ensure absorption. Had baseball practice last night- did not use nebulizer prior to practice or need it after. Never needed his inhaler either! We will try to drop allergy pills when ragweed season is past. THIS IS A MIRACLE! I LOVE that it’s actually beneficial to the body in so many ways!!!!
