Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Hi Everyone, I was wondering how many mg. of boswellia should you take, how often and should it be taken with food or is it better taken without? If it should be taken without food, how long before and after do you wait before you eat or take medication? Thanks in advance Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 1999 Report Share Posted April 8, 1999 Pat, I am sorry you did not get a reply your first time. I have been taking Boswellia for about two months now , except for a few days when I wanted to see if it really was doing any good. The fact that I started taking it again answers that. Yes, it is helping. I started on two capsules twice a day and then went to three capules twice a day. Three was too much. I had some stomach upset and gas problems. The stomach upset went away as soon as I dropped back to two capules twice a day. And my wife is happy that the gas problem disappeared also. We buy the Solaray brand through the Vitamin Shoppe online. They are 325 mg. capsules at 60 capsules per bottle. The directions say to take 1 or 2 capsules daily with a meal or a glass of water. I take mine in the morning with food and at night with only a glass of water, and it seems to work well either way. I cannot remember the price but I do remember it was the cheapest we found for the 325 mg. capsules. Thanks to Joe Graff. Good Luck. Denny and Skip OA 2 yrs. RA 10 yrs.

So that would be 3 or 4 caps 3 times a day, no? >> The label says there is also 300 mg of Boswelli Serrata Powder, which makes it look like 340 mg per capsule, whihc would mean 1 per day, right?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hi Jim, Yes, I only counted 40 mg of Boswellic acids-200 mg of the extract, standardized at 20%. They don't say how much of the 300 mg of the powder may also be Boswellic acids. -- ---------------------- >Subject: Re: Boswellia Dosage >In a message dated 10/19/03 10:06:48 AM Pacific Daylight Time, d4235@... writes: ><< Note the typical dosage they mention is 3-400 mg at 37.5% Boswellic acids, 3 times a day.
