1 interaction related to 5-lipoxygenase
Boswellic acids inhibit 5-lipoxygenase to block pro-inflammatory leukotrienes, while EPA and DHA from omega-3s reduce arachidonic acid availability and serve as substrates for specialized pro-resolving mediators (resolvins, protectins) that actively turn off inflammation. The two ingredients suppress inflammation at different steps of the same lipid cascade, giving complementary anti-inflammatory coverage.
