Boswellia for brain edema

Hello, I have started using WokVel Boswellia Serrata 333mg , 4 pills 3 times a day, in hopes of helping with possible
swelling after RT. That is still short of the 4200mg used in study, so maybe I should increase a bit. Been using it for 3 days.   My husband is currently taking only 1mg of decadron, and when NO has tried to increase it he gets in a very bad emotional state. Has anyone had success with Boswellia ?
Thank you!!

    The German study was using a different formulation of Boswellia. Clinical studies of Wokvel have tested doses of 333 - 999 mg daily (1-3 capsules). The main reason to purchase higher bioavailability forms of Boswellia is to reduce the number of capsules necessary to achieve the desired effect. Many patients in the German study had trouble swallowing the number of large capsules required to get to the 4200 mg daily dose.

      Hi Stephen. Can you please post links to Wokvel studies. I'm trying to figure out if it's better to take 3 Wokvel capsules as a single dose or in divided doses. Thanks

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15070181
      Pharmacokinetic study of 11-Keto beta-Boswellic acid.

      This study was specifically done with Wokvel, as you can read in the abstract.

      Here's a link to a full PDF of the study.

      A list of research papers related to Wokvel can be found on the Verdure Sciences website

      I'm not aware of anything beyond these.

    My wife took 14 capsules a day, each contains 400mg. This resulted in 4,2g of Boswellia acids (our supplement had a 75% share of boswellia acids). Hence, you should look for capsules with a high proportion of boswellia acids but also for a high amount of AKBA, which is the most effective boswellia acid.
