Resin from Boswellia trees; preparations for fragrance and oral extracts are different products.
How this fits a treatment plan
Frankincense is an educational entry in the antioxidant encyclopedia. Purser Wellness does not automatically recommend it as treatment from an APA result. A cell-response finding is not a diagnosis of a deficiency in this botanical or compound.
Frankincense may refer to Boswellia extracts or topical products. An oral extract and a topical preparation serve different purposes.
What symptoms can—and cannot—tell you
There is no established dietary deficiency syndrome for this specific botanical or compound. Symptoms are not evidence that you need this supplement.
Food sources
Not an everyday food source. Essential oils and incense are not oral supplements.
Supplement forms
Frankincense may refer to Boswellia extracts or topical products. An oral extract and a topical preparation serve different purposes.
What to track and reassess
If your clinician recommends a separate trial, agree on its purpose, the exact preparation, how long to assess it and what would make you stop or reassess. Keep ordinary foods distinct from concentrated extracts.
