About This Site

Our Mission & Editorial Policy

Boswellia.com exists because the supplement industry is full of noise. We believe people deserve accurate, honest, sourced information — free of commercial agenda.

Mission

Boswellia.com is an independent, editorially focused information resource on Boswellia serrata and the broader frankincense botanical family. We do not sell supplements. We do not accept advertising from supplement companies. We do not receive payment for favorable coverage of any product, brand, or ingredient.

Our mission is simple: to provide the clearest, most accurate available information about what Boswellia serrata is, what the science shows it can and cannot do, and how to use it sensibly and safely. We write for people who want to understand the evidence — not just be told what to buy.

What We Cover

Our content focuses specifically on Boswellia serrata — the Indian frankincense species with the deepest clinical evidence base. We do not cover the broader supplement market, other herbal remedies, or general health topics except where directly relevant to boswellia research.

All substantive health claims on this site are:

  • Sourced to peer-reviewed research, where such research exists
  • Distinguished clearly between mechanistic/preclinical evidence and human clinical trial evidence
  • Graded according to our evidence quality system (see below)
  • Presented with honest acknowledgment of limitations in the evidence base

Evidence Grading System

Every health claim on Boswellia.com is graded using the following four-tier system, based on the quality and quantity of the supporting clinical evidence:

● Strong

Strong Evidence

Multiple independent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and/or a systematic review or meta-analysis demonstrate efficacy. Results are consistent across studies. Example: Boswellia in knee osteoarthritis clinical trials.

◑ Moderate

Moderate Evidence

At least one good-quality RCT or multiple smaller trials with consistent but not definitive results. More research warranted. Example: Boswellia in studies of asthma.

○ Emerging

Emerging Evidence

Preliminary clinical data, mechanistic studies, and/or animal model evidence suggest potential benefit. Human trial results are inconsistent or from small studies only. Example: Boswellia in studies of IBD.

◌ Limited

Limited / Insufficient Evidence

Primarily in vitro or animal model data. Mechanistically plausible but no adequate human trial data available. Claims should not be made about efficacy in humans. Example: Boswellia in cancer preclinical research (cell and animal studies only).
