Description
Boswellia serrata extract and Shallaki extract are the same product. Shallaki is the common name for the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree, also known as Indian frankincense. The extract is standardized to contain a specific percentage of active compounds called boswellic acids, which are responsible for its therapeutic effects.
