Armenian researchers investigated the synergy of boswellic acid and curcumin in the treatment of osteoarthritis patients. They reported that a supplemental blend of boswellic acid and curcumin was more effective in relieving the painful symptoms of the disease than turmeric-derived curcumin alone.
The study was supported by the Yerevan State Medical University of Armenia and the Erebouni Medical Center. Its findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The researchers concluded that combining curcumin with boswellic acid increases its effectiveness as a treatment method for osteoarthritis.
