At its annual convention in Salt Lake City, dōTERRA introduced its latest essential oil innovations, including a Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex that offers the benefits of both frankincense essential oil—known as the "king of oils"—and frankincense resin in a liquid-based microbead capsule.
According to the company, the Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex "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." As such, this capsule is formulated to enhance joint comfort and mobility, and provide antioxidant support and protection.
Additionally, preclinical research suggests that the Frankincense Boswellic Acid Complex may have a protective effect on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, support cellular health and renewal, and may provide protection against oxidative stress.
