Product details:
Health benefits with a glance: 

Boswellia serrata is an Indian plant containing compounds that can inhibit inflammatory factors to promote joint, arterial, and cellular health. 

5-LOX Inhibitor with AprèsFlex® is gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegetarian.

Why it works:

The boswellia extract contains compounds shown to directly target 5-LOX, an enzyme responsible for inflammatory reactions.

5-LOX Inhibitor with AprèsFlex® provides a standardized, highly absorbable boswellia extract, AprèsFlex®. 

Each capsule delivers 100 mg of this innovative extract, and most people need only one capsule a day.

Science behind the product:

5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is an enzyme that converts fatty acids into leukotrienes. (1)

Since 5-LOX levels increase over time, excess 5-LOX has been connected to some of the common effects of normal aging. (2)

Boswellia extract can inhibit 5-LOX

Boswellia serrata extract is shown to inhibit 5-LOX at the cellular level. Research reveals that the compound AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-ß-boswellic acid) is crucial for this beneficial action. (3) 

However, boswellia compounds are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. To address this issue, the formula uses AprèsFlex®, which is a standardized form of boswellia extract. 

AprèsFlex® absorbs into the blood 52% more than previously available boswellia extracts. (4)

Increase 5-LOX levels due to diet

The typical Western diet is rich in omega-6 fatty acids like red meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, along with high-glycemic carbohydrates.

These foods add to 5-LOX levels by triggering the production of arachidonic acid. The body produces 5-LOX enzymes in response to arachidonic acid. (1) 

The benefits of inhibiting 5-LOX

5-LOX creates compounds like leukotriene B4 out of arachidonic acid. Inhibiting leukotriene B4 can help support joint, arterial, and health. (5) It is also demonstrated to promote healthy cell division in studies. (6) 

Each 100 mg vegetarian capsule of 5-LOX Inhibitor with AprèsFlex® is standardized to provide 20% of active AKBA from boswellia.
