Research
Fifteen Studies and Counting
5-LOXIN is a novel Boswellia serrata extract enriched with 30% 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), which exhibits potential anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme. In joint health products, it is used both as a standalone ingredient and in conjunction with other ingredients to power some of the best-known joint health consumer brands in the world.
5-LOXIN has been the subject of 13 pre-clinical studies and 2 human clinical trials. One of the key features of 5-LOXIN in any formulation is clinical work that has demonstrated efficacy starting at 7 days – at a significantly lower dose (100 mg) than other joint health ingredients. This fast efficacy and low dose allow 5-LOXIN to compete with non-natural or over-the-counter solutions.
Beyond joint comfort and flexibility improvements, 5-LOXIN also positively impacts biological markers associated with joint health and inflammation, including TNFa, CRP, and IL-6. It was also shown to significantly inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-3), enzymes that break down cartilage, collagen and connective tissues.

INSIGHTS
5-LOXIN is derived from Boswellia serrata gum resin and contains 30% AKBA. It was the first entrant into PLT’s global portfolio of AKBA-based joint health ingredients.
The starting point for 5-LOXIN – Boswellia serrata – is a plant that produces Indian frankincense. It is also known as Indian olibanum, Salai guggul, and Sallaki in Sanskrit. The plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan. In partnership with Laila, PLT is committed to the safety and fair treatment of the people who harvest 5-LOXIN. We want to support the long-term health and well-being of the tribal culture and the natural environment upon which it relies.
Every batch of the 5-LOXIN harvest is assigned a specific batch number and each batch of finished product is traceable to a specific region and set of trees. 5-LOXIN is tested and must comply with predefined specifications for different parameters at different stages of product manufacturing – from raw materials to finished product. Quality is monitored by a multi-disciplinary organization with dedicated departments for taxonomy (botanical Identification), raw material analysis, chemical analysis, microbiology, and more.
