Frankincense has been valued across cultures for thousands of years, originally for ritual and traditional purposes. From ancient Egypt to Indian Ayurveda and African heritage, the aromatic resin of the Boswellia tree was not only used as incense but also as a precious component in botanical preparations. Frankincense resin contains valuable natural compounds, including essential oils, polysaccharides, and specific resin acids, also known as boswellic acids.
Which frankincense extracts are included?
NatuGena Weihrauch 800 unites two exceptionally high-quality frankincense sources: Boswellia serrata from India with 85% boswellic acids and Boswellia carterii from Africa with 80% boswellic acids. The latter delivers 20% AKBA (Acetyl-Keto-Boswellic Acid), one of the most researched and respected boswellic acids. Boswellia carterii is native to East Africa, where its resin is traditionally harvested in regions such as Ethiopia and Somalia. These trees thrive in dry, rocky environments, and protect themselves during drought by shedding their leaves and are producing a resin of unique traditional value.
Why is lecithin included in the formula?
Liposomal lecithin can help improve the absorption of fat-soluble botanical compounds such as boswellic acids. This enhances the bioavailability of the frankincense extract, enabling the body to absorb its beneficial constituents more efficiently.
How is frankincense extract obtained?
Traditionally, the tree is tapped by making incisions in the bark, prompting it to release aromatic resin, which solidifies in air. This resin is hand-harvested in multiple rounds over the year. After harvesting, the trees require several years to regenerate. The resulting extracts are rich in boswellic acids, including AKBA, standardised and featured in NatuGena Weihrauch 800.
