What is Boswellia serrata?
Boswellia serrata is a tree that grows naturally in regions including India and is known for its aromatic resin, commonly referred to as frankincense or Indian frankincense. The golden resin is obtained from the Boswellia tree and has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years. The resin contains a number of naturally occurring compounds, most notably various boswellic acids.
Among the boswellic acids is AKBA, 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid, one of the most extensively studied components of Boswellia serrata. The combination of these naturally occurring compounds is an important reason why Boswellia serrata has become a popular ingredient in modern food supplements for people looking to complement their diet with a concentrated botanical extract focused on joints and mobility.
What is AprèsFlex®?
AprèsFlex® is an advanced, standardised Boswellia serrata extract developed to provide a consistent content of selected bioactive compounds. Unlike simpler Boswellia powders or traditional extracts, AprèsFlex® is a specialised premium ingredient with a focus on standardisation, quality and bioavailability. This makes it possible to use a concentrated amount of extract in a convenient dose of just 100 mg per day.
AprèsFlex® is used internationally as an ingredient in a wide range of joint health products and has been the subject of clinical research for many years. The ingredient has been studied in randomised clinical trials, with results published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
What does the research on AprèsFlex® show?
Clinical research on AprèsFlex® has investigated several different aspects of joint health. In studies, participants reported improved joint comfort after as little as 5 days. Reduced stiffness was observed after 15 days, while improvements in physical function, including walking and climbing stairs, were observed after around 30 days. Longer studies lasting up to 6 months have also investigated how these effects develop over time.
AprèsFlex® has also been studied using magnetic resonance imaging to assess structural parameters within the joints. These studies have examined changes in cartilage thickness and volume as well as joint space. This distinguishes AprèsFlex® from many simpler Boswellia serrata extracts, as the research has not relied solely on participants’ perceived joint comfort but has also included objective measurements.
AprèsFlex® for an active lifestyle
AprèsFlex® has been developed for people who want to maintain mobility and physical function in everyday life. The ingredient has been studied in adults of different ages and may be particularly relevant for people whose joints are regularly subjected to strain, for example through exercise, physically demanding work or an active lifestyle.

Boswellia serrata has become a popular ingredient in modern food supplements, particularly in products focused on joints, mobility and an active lifestyle.
What is AprèsFlex®?
AprèsFlex® is a patented and clinically studied Boswellia serrata extract. It has been developed to provide a concentrated and standardised amount of bioactive compounds in a low daily dose. Greatlife Boswellia Serrata contains 100 mg of AprèsFlex® per capsule and is taken once daily.
How does Boswellia serrata work in the body?
Boswellia serrata contains several bioactive boswellic acids that have been studied for their effects on biological processes associated with the body’s inflammatory response. AKBA in particular has attracted attention for its interaction with the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), which is involved in the formation of leukotrienes. This is one of the reasons why Boswellia serrata has been extensively researched in areas such as joint health and mobility.
What are boswellic acids and why are they important?
Boswellic acids are a group of naturally occurring bioactive compounds found in the resin of Boswellia serrata. Different Boswellia extracts can vary considerably in the amount and composition of these compounds. One of the most extensively studied boswellic acids is AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid). AprèsFlex® is standardised to provide a consistent level of AKBA.
What is AKBA?
AKBA stands for 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid and is one of the most extensively studied boswellic acids found in Boswellia serrata. It has attracted considerable attention in research into Boswellia and its biological properties. Greatlife Boswellia Serrata AprèsFlex® is standardised to 20% AKBA.
What is Boswellia serrata best known for?
Boswellia serrata is best known for its long history of traditional use and for research focused on joints and mobility. Modern studies of standardised Boswellia extracts have investigated areas including joint comfort, stiffness and physical function. AprèsFlex® has been specifically developed for use in this area and has been clinically studied at a dose of 100 mg per day.
Could Boswellia serrata be of interest to people with stiff or heavily used joints?
Boswellia serrata is often used in food supplements by people looking to provide additional support for their joints, for example due to high levels of physical activity, exercise or increasing age. Clinical studies of AprèsFlex® have investigated areas including joint comfort, stiffness, walking ability and physical function.
Has AprèsFlex® been studied in people with osteoarthritis?
Yes. AprèsFlex® and earlier generations of the same standardised Boswellia ingredient have been investigated in clinical studies involving people with knee discomfort and osteoarthritis. The studies have assessed factors including joint comfort, stiffness, physical function and various structural parameters within the joint. These findings form an important part of the scientific documentation behind AprèsFlex®.
How much AprèsFlex® does Greatlife Boswellia Serrata contain?
Each capsule contains 100 mg of AprèsFlex® Boswellia serrata extract, standardised to 20% AKBA. The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule, meaning the full daily amount of AprèsFlex® is provided in a single capsule.
Why is only 100 mg of AprèsFlex® used per day?
AprèsFlex® is a concentrated and specially developed Boswellia serrata extract that has been clinically studied at a daily dose of 100 mg. This distinguishes AprèsFlex® from many traditional Boswellia extracts, which are often used in considerably larger amounts.
Has AprèsFlex® been clinically studied?
Yes. AprèsFlex® has been investigated in several clinical studies, with results published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The studies have examined areas including joint comfort, stiffness, mobility and physical function, as well as structural characteristics of cartilage.
How quickly did AprèsFlex® produce results in clinical studies?
In clinical studies, participants taking AprèsFlex® showed improvements in joint comfort after as little as 5 days. Changes in stiffness were observed after 15 days, while improvements in physical function, including walking and the ability to climb stairs, were observed after 30 days. Longer-term studies have followed participants for up to 6 months.
Has AprèsFlex® been studied in relation to cartilage?
Yes. AprèsFlex® has also been investigated using advanced imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In these studies, researchers assessed factors including cartilage thickness, cartilage volume and joint space. The research therefore included not only participants’ subjective experience of their joints, but also objective measurements of structures within the joint.
What makes AprèsFlex® different from a standard Boswellia serrata extract?
Not all Boswellia extracts are the same. The amount and composition of boswellic acids can vary considerably between different ingredients. AprèsFlex® is a standardised premium ingredient with a controlled content of bioactive compounds and has been developed with a focus on bioavailability, consistent quality and clinically documented use at 100 mg per day.
Is a higher amount of Boswellia in milligrams always better?
No. The amount of an extract in milligrams does not tell the whole story when it comes to quality. The extraction method, standardisation, content of specific boswellic acids and bioavailability are also important factors. AprèsFlex® has been developed to provide a concentrated amount of standardised Boswellia serrata extract at just 100 mg per day.
Is an extract containing 65% boswellic acids automatically better than AprèsFlex®?
No. The percentage of total boswellic acids cannot be used as the sole measure of quality or effectiveness. Different extracts may contain different proportions of specific boswellic acids and may also differ in bioavailability. AprèsFlex® is instead standardised to 20% AKBA and has been developed and clinically studied as a specific ingredient at 100 mg per day.
How should Boswellia Serrata AprèsFlex® be taken?
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, the capsule may be opened and the contents sprinkled over food or mixed into a drink to be consumed immediately.
What time of day should AprèsFlex® be taken?
AprèsFlex® can be taken at any time of day. For convenience, we recommend taking the capsule with a meal and preferably at roughly the same time each day.
Can AprèsFlex® be taken long term?
AprèsFlex® has been used in clinical studies lasting several months, including studies of up to 6 months. Always follow the recommended dosage stated on the product.
Can Boswellia Serrata AprèsFlex® be combined with other food supplements?

It made a huge difference in just a short timeMy joints can get stiff from time to time. From too much and sometimes improper use of my hands during long workdays at the computer, my right hand’s middle finger became overstrained. The finger wasn’t straight and it hurt. I realized I needed to support the healing process with something. I have experience with Greatlife’s products and know they are of high quality, so I decided to try Greatlife’s Boswellia Serrata. Now, after 10 days, it’s hardly noticeable that my middle finger used to be difficult to straighten. It made a huge difference in just a short time.
