You already know all about the benefits of turmeric (and omega-3 fats and green tea) for fighting inflammation. But if you're still battling pain, stiffness, soreness and discomfort, you have other anti-inflammatory supplement options. Here are six science-backed solutions shown to tame the flames, and what to look for in a supplement.
1. BOSWELLIA
Also known as Indian frankincense, boswellia is derived from the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree and has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It's rich in boswellic acids, including acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), shown to modulate enzymes that promote inflammation. Studies suggest boswellia reduces pain, eases swelling, improves mobility and significantly decreases inflammation; it's especially effective for osteoarthritis, knee pain and soreness after exercising. You'll find boswellia in capsules, softgels or liquid extracts. Because it's not well absorbed, bio-enhanced delivery systems are best. Look for forms standardized to provide at least 50% boswellic acids, including 10% AKBA.

[ Three Ways ] Tropical Punch
Of African origin, hibiscus or Jamaican sorrel, is an important staple in West Indian and Mexican cooking. Hibiscus is sour enough to make you pucker and tropical enough to evoke the islands. Popularly brewed as a tea, the dried petals play well in savory or sweet recipes, too.
