What is Frankincense Extract?
Frankincense extract is a concentrated active component derived from the resin of Boswellia serrata trees, primarily containing unique pentacyclic triterpenoids. Utilizing modern supercritical CO₂ extraction technology, it preserves the precious anti-inflammatory compounds to obtain standardized extract. This ancient remedy renowned as "liquid gold" now reappears in scientific formulation.
