- 82% of the 50 products that print an amount of boswellia serrata list more than its 50 mg of ApresFlex boswellia serrata gum extract (filed by NIH under boswellia serrata) (median 100 mg).
The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
