Sabinsa Holds Boswellin® PS Presentation at SupplySide

LAS VEGASSabinsa Corp. will highlight its proprietary Boswellin® PS during a Vendor Works presentation at SupplySide West on Wed. Oct. 20, 2010, from 4:00-4:50 p.m. in Galileo Rm. 901, Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas.  Lakshmi Prakash, Ph.D., vice president of innovation and business development, Sabinsa Corporation, is slated to give the presentation: Boswellin PS: The Next Generation Boswellia serrata Extract."

The healthful properties of Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense) have been validated in multiple clinical studies, according to the company. The gum resin of Boswellia serrata (N.O. Burseraceae), known as Dhup", Indian Frankincense, or Indian olibanum, is valued as a source of healthful phytonutrients. Such extracts are used as ingredients in dietary supplements and cosmetics, to support healthy aging. The most popular application in dietary supplements is in joint-health support products to support normal joint functions and mobility. Extracts of Boswellia serrata gum are, however, resinous in nature, and the biomarker boswellic acids are insoluble in water.

Boswellin PS represents an improvement over existing conventional Boswellia serrata extracts, according to Sabinsa, because it provides manufacturers a more water-soluble version with enhanced joint-health support potential. Boswellin PS offers a unique release profile for the active ingredients. In addition to boswellic acids, (the active principles for which Boswellia extracts are conventionally standardized), the PS version contains Polysal, a natural polysaccharide fraction from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata. The Polysal fraction is water soluble, and enhances the healthful role of boswellic acids in the extract. 

During the past 20 years, Sabinsa has brought to market more than 100 standardized botanical extracts and privately funded several clinical studies in conjunction with institutions in support of these products. With more than 100 full-time scientists conducting ongoing research in India and the United States, Sabinsa continues to develop and patent phytonutrients for the world market. All products intended for human consumption are certified Kosher, with many certified Halal.
