5-LOX Inhibitor (Boswellia Serrata), 100 mg: Inflammation Control, Joint Comfort, Mobility and Respiratory Support – AprèsFlex® Standardized to 20% AKBA for Balanced Inflammatory Response

5-LOX Inhibitor (Boswellia Serrata), 100 mg, Life Extension is an advanced dietary supplement designed for supporting balanced inflammatory response and for maintaining comfort in body areas where inflammation can directly influence quality of life: joints, muscles, connective tissues and respiratory pathways. The formula contains 100 mg Boswellia serrata extract AprèsFlex® (gum resin), standardized to 20% 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) – one of the most active boswellic compounds, associated with specific inflammation modulation mechanisms through the 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase) pathway.

In the body, inflammation is not "bad" in itself – it is a natural defense and repair mechanism. The problem appears when inflammatory response becomes disproportionate or persistent, influencing mobility, daily comfort, recovery after effort or respiratory function. Demanding lifestyle, sedentarism, excess weight, stress, intense sports or aging can amplify inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes, compounds involved in inflammatory reactions at joint and respiratory level. This is where Boswellia serrata intervenes: a plant traditionally used for centuries, modernly integrated in standardized formulas, oriented towards supporting physiological inflammation without compromising normal body processes.

AprèsFlex® is a latest generation extract, chosen for high concentration and optimized AKBA bioavailability, so that a relatively small dose can offer relevant functional support. Standardization to 20% AKBA means the product delivers a predictable amount of active compound, which matters enormously when the goal is consistent effect on comfort and mobility. Additionally, Boswellia acts through a different mechanism compared to many classic anti-inflammatory solutions, being primarily associated with supporting the 5-LOX pathway, involved in arachidonic acid metabolism and leukotriene formation.

Detailed Benefits of 5-LOX Inhibitor (Boswellia Serrata) with AprèsFlex®

• Supporting balanced inflammatory response through 5-LOX pathway

The 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase) pathway is involved in leukotriene production – mediators that can influence inflammation intensity at joint, tissue and respiratory pathway level. AKBA, the key component standardized in AprèsFlex®, is associated with modulating this pathway, contributing to maintaining better controlled inflammatory response.

In daily life, this support can translate into:
✅ supporting inflammatory balance during demanding periods
✅ reducing "stiffness" felt in inflammatory contexts
✅ support for functional comfort and mobility

• Joint comfort and improved mobility, including in case of overexertion

Joints are complex structures, where cartilage, synovial fluid, ligaments and articular membranes must function harmoniously. Local inflammation can influence range of motion, sensation of morning stiffness or discomfort after prolonged sitting or after effort. Boswellia is frequently associated with joint comfort, especially in the context of its use for inflammatory support.

People who may feel benefits include:
• those who sit a lot at desk and feel "stiffness" when getting up
• those who do sports and need recovery and comfort
• those who want better mobility as they age

Through its action, the product can support:
✅ better flexibility and functional mobility
✅ comfort in knees, hips, shoulders or spine, depending on demand
✅ maintaining constant movement rhythm throughout the day

• Reducing stiffness and supporting comfort after effort

Physical effort, even moderate, can generate microlesions and physiological inflammation, especially when the body is not accustomed to intensity or movement frequency. Normally, inflammation helps with repair, but amplified response can prolong post-effort discomfort. Boswellia, by modulating inflammatory mediators, can support more comfortable recovery profile.

Functional benefits:
✅ muscle and joint comfort after training or intense activities
✅ maintaining mobility and movement capacity on consecutive days
✅ support during periods when body is "loaded" with effort or stress

• Respiratory support through leukotriene modulation

Leukotrienes play an important role in inflammatory reactions at respiratory pathway level, influencing bronchial tone and respiratory comfort in certain contexts. That's why Boswellia is often integrated in nutritional strategies oriented towards supporting respiration and comfort during periods with respiratory sensitivity. Through the 5-LOX mechanism, the product offers directed support, different from that of general antioxidants.

This support can be relevant for:
✅ people who feel respiratory sensitivity in certain seasons
✅ periods with dry air, pollution or irritant exposure
✅ maintaining respiratory comfort during physical activity

• Tissue protection and support for systemic inflammatory balance

Persistent inflammation can influence not only joints, but also connective tissues, tendons, fascia and even general comfort. Boswellia is associated with broader support on inflammatory balance, which can contribute to maintaining functionality in the body.

Possible advantages:
✅ supporting comfort in tissues subjected to tension and demand
✅ support for body more "resilient" to physiological stress
✅ maintaining well-being during periods with multiple demands

• Concentrated formula: AprèsFlex® standardized to 20% AKBA

A major differentiator is clear standardization to 20% AKBA, which suggests an extract oriented towards efficiency. In many Boswellia extracts, active compound concentration can vary. Here, standardization offers consistency and more predictable profile for user.

This technological choice supports:
✅ consistent AKBA intake, the main targeted boswellic compound
✅ efficiency through small but concentrated dose
✅ formula suitable for daily routines oriented towards mobility and comfort

• Support for quality of life: easier movement, reduced discomfort, better functionality

Finally, when inflammation is better balanced, people often notice practical changes: climbing stairs seems easier, walking longer distances becomes more comfortable, and stiffness after rest can diminish. This is the main objective of a "5-LOX inhibitor" type formula: to support the body in maintaining functionality, without "forcing" the body, but helping it manage inflammatory responses more efficiently.

Benefits oriented towards real life:
✅ better mobility in morning or after sitting
✅ greater comfort during movement and daily activities
✅ supporting active, consistent and sustainable lifestyle
