5-LOXIN®
Maker Laila Impex Wins National Award for Outstanding In-house
R&D Achievements in 2007
5-LOXIN is a new, patent-pending joint health ingredient
that is steeped in the historic roots of boswellia
serrata extracts. The boswellia plant has been used for
thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in
India, and recent studies have shown its benefits in
promoting joint comfort, knee mobility and walking
distance.*
The
application of modern science by the researchers at the
renowned Laila Impex Research Center in India has
resulted in the identification of the most powerful
boswellia compound, acetyl-11-keto-beta boswellic acid,
or AKBA.
The
researchers then created a method using state-of-the-art
manufacturing practices to produce a boswellia extract
that provides 30% AKBA, ten times more concentrated than
ordinary boswellia.
Published research supports 5-LOXIN’s mechanism of
action and efficacy with
in vitro and in vivo studies.
And
these studies also show 5-LOXIN to help inhibit the
action of enzymes that break down cartilage, which may
provide a protective benefit.*

5-LOXIN® is the most
potent boswellic acid available, providing 30%
AKBA
-
Boswellic acids are natural, selective
5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme inhibitors.
There are six boswellic acids; however, AKBA
is the most active acid
-
The targeted inhibition of the 5-LOX enzyme
may help promote joint function and mobility
-
5-LOXIN is patent-pending, providing a
higher concentration of AKBA than other
Boswellia serrata extracts, which typically
contain only 2% - 3%
-
5-LOXIN® was shown to inhibit
matrix metalloproteinase (MMP’s), a class of
enzymes that break down cartilage, collagen
and connective tissues
-
5-LOXIN® is safe - historic use and
recent safety studies support its use
