When it comes to supporting your horse’s health, few ingredients offer the natural power and historical pedigree of Boswellia Serrata.
Used for thousands of years in traditional medicine, this potent tree resin is now gaining serious ground in the equestrian world. It’s especially ideal if you’re seeking effective, chemical-free solutions to support their horse’s joints, mobility, and overall well-being.
At Equine Protek, we’ve combined over 40 years of hands-on equine experience with the latest in supplement science to bring you Protek Boswellia Serrata, a premium formulation with an impressive 65% Boswellic acid content. Why does this matter?
Let’s unpack the science, the history, and the benefits of this ancient remedy, redefined by us for modern horses.
What Is Boswellia Serrata?
Boswellia Serrata is a species of tree native to India and parts of the Middle East. Its resin (often called ‘Indian frankincense’) has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to treat inflammation, joint pain and respiratory conditions in humans.
The power behind Boswellia lies in its Boswellic acids, the active compounds responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. These acids work by inhibiting enzymes that trigger inflammation, making Boswellia a natural and effective alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), without the harsh side effects.
This makes Boswellia Serrata especially valuable in equine care, where managing inflammation is key to keeping horses comfortable, active and performing at their best.
Why Use Boswellia for Horses?
- Proven Anti-Inflammatory Support for Joints
Joint inflammation is a common issue in horses, particularly those regularly working or advancing in age. Over time, cartilage can wear down, synovial fluid may thin, and exercise can become stiff or painful.
Boswellia’s anti-inflammatory properties help combat these issues by targeting the inflammation at a cellular level. Studies have shown that Boswellic acids can help reduce swelling and improve mobility, offering your horse a more comfortable and fluid range of motion.
With our Boswellia Serrata, you’re giving your horse a high-strength formulation specifically designed to support healthy joints without the risks that come with prolonged NSAID use.
- A Trusted Herbal Remedy Backed by Centuries of Use
When it comes to modern supplements, many ingredients come and go, but Boswellia has stood the test of time. In Ayurvedic and Unani traditions, it was a go-to remedy for arthritis, respiratory issues, and digestive complaints. Its enduring popularity speaks volumes.
At Equine Protek, we respect this legacy, but we don’t rely on folklore alone. Our formulation is rooted in both history and hard science. Every batch is tested for Boswellic acid concentration and manufactured to strict quality standards, including ISO 9001:2000, cGMP, BRC, and FDA approvals.
- Natural Ingredients
More horse owners are now turning away from synthetic drugs in favour of natural alternatives. Boswellia Serrata is plant-based, non-addictive, and well tolerated by most horses. It supports the body’s natural healing response rather than masking symptoms.
Because Protek Boswellia Serrata is free from harsh fillers, chemicals and artificial additives, it’s an excellent option if you want a clean, holistic approach to equine wellness.
- Supports Horses’ Recovery and Performance
Whether your horse is competing at a high level or simply enjoys regular hacking, keeping them moving comfortably is essential. Stiffness, swelling or even mild discomfort can affect their performance and morale. That’s not to mention the fact it can increase the risk of further injury.
By helping to reduce inflammation and support the joints, Boswellia Serrata can shorten recovery time after exercise and help your horse stay active.
It’s a favourite among competitive riders, older horse owners, and those managing chronic joint issues, because it works.
Not Just for Joints: Additional Benefits
While joint support is Boswellia’s most well-known benefit, it also supports other areas of your horse’s health:
- Respiratory Health: Boswellia’s anti-inflammatory effect extends to the respiratory tract, helping to soothe airways during allergy season or in dusty environments.
- Gut and Immune Support: Some studies suggest Boswellia may also help regulate immune response and support gut health—an added bonus for overall well-being.
- Mood and Behaviour: A comfortable horse is a happier horse. Reduced discomfort can lead to better focus, calmer behaviour, and more willingness to work.
