ApresFlex is a patented Boswellia serrata (frankincense) resin extract standardized for AKBA. It is formulated to improve absorption compared with some traditional Boswellia extracts.

What is ApresFlex used for?

It is commonly used to support joint comfort, reduce stiffness, and improve mobility, especially in people with osteoarthritis or joint wear-and-tear. It is also used to support a healthy inflammatory response.

How does ApresFlex work?

Boswellia compounds in ApresFlex help modulate inflammatory pathways, including inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. This can reduce the production of pro-inflammatory mediators involved in joint discomfort.

What is the typical dosage for ApresFlex?

A common supplemental dose is 100 mg per day, following the product label. People with medical conditions or who use medications should check with a clinician before starting.
