Have you heard of the Indian frankincense tree? From the resin of this tree, Boswellia serrata gum-oleoresin dry extract is extracted, a plant substance with a long history. Himalaya incorporates this extract into a vegan tablet, specially designed for people who want to keep their joints supple and comfortable. Two tablets provide 250 mg of this extract. The bottle contains 60 tablets, which is 30 doses.
The characteristic substances of Boswellia serrata gum-oleoresin dry extract are called boswellic acids. The best known and most studied is AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid). Boswellia serrata resin helps keep joints fresh and comfortable.* In Indian herbal medicine, where the plant is called Shallaki, the resin is traditionally used for the musculoskeletal system. It is not a stimulant: it is a gentle daily support as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Boswellia serrata grows in the dry, hilly regions of India. The tree naturally secretes a gummy resin. This resin, called gum-oleoresin, is hand-harvested and then dried. It is then extracted and concentrated into a dry extract. Himalaya, a brand rooted in Indian herbalism, uses this extract under the traditional name Shallaki. Moreover, the product is entirely vegan. The tablets also contain only excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide to form the tablet.
Each tablet contains 125 mg of Boswellia serrata gum-oleoresin dry extract. The recommended dose is two tablets per day, bringing the total to 250 mg. What many don't know: the amount of extract doesn't tell the whole story. How the extract is standardized, i.e., the actual amount of boswellic acids it contains, makes a difference when comparing products. For this product, this specification is not on the label. This is a point to keep in mind when comparing boswellia products.
Boswellia is a different type of ingredient than glucosamine or collagen, for example. Glucosamine and collagen are more related to the structure of cartilage and connective tissue, while boswellia (Shallaki) is traditionally used for joint comfort. These are therefore different approaches. Some formulas also combine boswellia with curcumin or collagen, in order to use several ingredients at once. This Himalaya product is deliberately a mono-formula: a single ingredient, without superfluous additions. This is practical if you want to know exactly what you are taking, or if you want to combine it yourself with other supplements.
Himalaya Boswellia (Shallaki) is a clear and simple product. A single ingredient from the Indian frankincense tree, vegan and in a convenient tablet form. Well suited for those looking for a boswellia-based joint supplement, without frills.
Two tablets provide a total of 250 mg of dry extract of Boswellia serrata gum-oleoresin. This is within the range of common doses used in research on boswellic acids.
This product contains only one active ingredient, with no added herbs or extracts. This provides clarity on what you are taking and makes it easier to combine with other supplements if desired.
The tablets do not contain gelatin or other animal components. The excipients are microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium salts of fatty acids, all of plant or mineral origin.
Himalaya is a brand that has been working for decades with plant-based ingredients from Indian tradition. Boswellia serrata, known as Shallaki in this tradition, is one of its flagship products. The resin is harvested in India from the frankincense tree and processed into a concentrated dry extract.

Boswellia serrata is an extract derived from the resin of the Indian frankincense tree. The tree naturally secretes a gummy resin, which is hand-harvested and dried. From this resin, boswellic acids, the characteristic substances of the extract, are extracted. The most well-known is AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid). In Indian herbal medicine, this plant is also known as Shallaki.
This term accurately describes how the extract is made. "Gum oleoresin" refers to the fatty, gummy resin secreted by the frankincense tree. This resin is harvested, dried, and then extracted into a concentrated powder: the dry extract. So, it is essentially a description of the manufacturing process, from the tree to the powder.
There is no difference. Shallaki is the traditional name for Boswellia serrata in Indian herbalism. Himalaya uses both names on the packaging. It is the same plant and extract.
This is a legitimate question. Many boswellia products indicate the percentage of boswellic acids or AKBA the extract contains. For this Himalaya product, this specification is not found on the label. This makes it difficult to directly compare potency with other products. It is, therefore, a deliberate choice by the manufacturer, but if the extract's concentration is important to you, this is something to consider.
In Indian herbalism, boswellia (Shallaki) is known as an herb linked to the musculoskeletal system. Boswellia serrata resin helps keep joints cool and comfortable.* It is therefore often chosen by people who want to keep their joints supple and comfortable in a natural way.
These are different types of ingredients. Glucosamine is related to the formation and maintenance of cartilage tissue. Boswellia (Shallaki) is traditionally used for joint comfort. So these are two different approaches; some people combine them because they complement each other.
