Caution level: High. Multiple caution categories apply, or the record uses avoid/contraindication language.

  • Interaction-AwareMedication or interaction context is explicitly noted.
  • Liver-SensitiveLiver-related caution language appears in the profile.
  • Anticoagulant CautionBleeding or anticoagulant-adjacent caution language is present.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding CautionPregnancy or breastfeeding caution language is present.
Safety evidence
limited human evidence for an AKBA-enriched Boswellia extract, not isolated AKBA
Who should avoid this?
No specific evidence-backed contraindication is documented for this profile. This is not the same as established safety.
Talk to a professional if
you use relevant medications, you are pregnant or breastfeeding, surgery is planned or recent, you have a condition named in this safety summary.

A 90-day trial monitored one extract standardized to 30% AKBA; pregnancy, breastfeeding, surgery, bleeding, liver, kidney, and medication-interaction safety for isolated AKBA remain insufficient.

How evidence grades work

Each grade reflects the strength and consistency of published human evidence — not marketing claims. Grades are based on study count, design quality, effect size, consistency, and recency.

Strong
Multiple RCTs, consistent direction, adequate effect size
Moderate
Some RCTs or consistent observational data in humans
Preliminary / Mixed
Animal or in-vitro only, or conflicting human data
Traditional / Theoretical
Traditional use only; no controlled human trials
