MANY OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE WORLD’S BEST IN THEIR CATEGORY: We very much care about what goes into our products as we do our best to provide the best with a focus on

– maximizing effectiveness

• we are using some of the best ingredients sources available,
• while adding large amounts of active ingredients in each capsule,
• supported by formulations to improve absorption

– maximizing purity

• we are testing raw materials prior to manufacturing the capsules using some of the largest analysis laboratories such as Eurofins
• we are testing the product after manufacturing using one of Europe’s largest food testing laboratory, Agrolab in Germany
• minimizing and in most of the cases not using any additive – this makes the production slow and expensive but delivers clean products for the user

Introduction on Boswellia

Boswellia extract comes from an oleo-gum resin known as ‘incense’ and called Frankincense, produced by a tree called Boswellia Serrata that grows in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Frankincense has a rich history, as it has been traded in the Arabian area for more than 6,000 years; Southern Arabia a major exporter of frankincense in antiquity. Due to its special properties, the Egyptians used Frankincense to purify body cavities in the mummification procedure. In addition, Frankincense was one of the gifts offered to Jesus by the biblical magi. Boswellia Serrata is one of the oldest and most valued herbs in Ayurveda, used for centuries in Asian and African folk medicine (1).

Recent scientific investigations indicate that one of the most relevant group of compounds in Boswellia Serrata resin are the pentacyclic triterpenic acids called Boswellic Acids. This is because Boswellic Acids were found to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory enzyme, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), cathepsin G, and microsomal prostaglandin-E synthase (1, 2).

According to the scientific literature, one of the most outstanding Boswellic Acids is AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), that has been identified as the main compound responsible for 5-lipoxygenase inhibition in Boswellia, and that also inhibits topisomerase I and II in laboratory experiments (3).

MCS Formulas provides the best of Boswellia in the highest amount …

Our Boswellia MEGA AKBA capsules include the largest amount of AKBA available in one capsule. For maximum benefits, and to fit with the nature’s design, we have also added an extract containing all the other Boswellic acids, so that each capsule provides a total of 220 mg Boswellic Acids.

…. formulated in an outstanding absorption promoting formula

However, we did not stop here. Instead, in order to maximize the absorption of the Boswellic Acids, we have designed a formula to also address two major bio-availability related mechanisms.

One well known “tool” known to maximize bio-availability of natural compounds such as Boswellic Acids is Piperine (4). As a result, we have included 2 mg BioPerine© providing >95% Piperine in each capsule.

The other major approach known to maximize bio-availability of natural compounds are phospholipid-based formulations. These are available commercially known as liposomal formulations and they come as liquid emulsions or solid formulations promoting the formation of liposomal structures (bubble-like structures surrounded by a fat-based layer) that can encapsulate the active ingredients such as Boswellia compounds. This phospholipid layer is similar to the cell walls in our body. As a result, liposomes are well received by the body and absorbed in higher quantities by the body, to reach the blood stream.

While liposomal formulations are a great way to deliver increased amount of supplements and drugs to the blood stream, when turning these into products, it leads to various disadvantages for the users. Liposomal products are liquid, heavy and difficult to carry. They have difficult taste. Making their taste better may come with various undesired additives. And typically they have short shelf life, even shorter after the bottle is open. Furthermore, liquid liposomal products need to stay stored at low temperature.

In contrast to the liquid liposomal supplements, liposomal promoting formulations as dry powder in capsules have no taste, they are easy to carry, and they can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life. The quality is therefore even better since the product is more stable.

Furthermore, phospholipids can be negatively or positively charged leading to a lower absorption and time to circulate in the blood stream, compared to neutrally charged liposomes. In order to address this and further maximize the absorption, our Pro Liposomal formula includes LongLifeLipoTech™.

LongLifeLipoTech™ is a liposomal technology that includes a proprietary blend of Phospholipids and Chitosan to promote the formation of neutrally charged liposomes. Indeed, it is known that Chitosan naturally binds to charged phospholipids to form neutrally charged liposomes. This is how, LongLifeLipoTech™ pro liposomal blend, supports the formation of liposomes that can have a better biocompatibility (improved absorption and a longer circulating time in the blood stream) compared to formulas based on phospholipids alone.

In line with traditions and research findings, it is believed that extracts from Boswellia, containing Boswellic Acids can add value to human health in the following ways:

• Supports the health of the lungs (4004) *
• Supports mental function. Helps refine mental function (ID 4001) *
• Helps keep blood cholesterol at healthy levels. Supports heart function (ID 4002) *
• Supports the health of the gastro-intestinal tract (ID 4003) *
• Supports menstrual health. Supports male sexual health (ID 4005) *
